Scuba diving takes you to the fascinating world of the depths of the sea. Besides the marvelous experience of floating and breathing underwater, you can actually come into contact with a wide variety of flora and fauna.

Mexico has some of the best marine reserves in the world —the Sea of Cortes, the Pacific coast, and the wondrous Mexican Caribbean—, where you will catch a glimpse of astounding species of fish and vegetation.


If you prefer snorkeling, you do not need previous experience. Just a pair of fins, a mask, and a snorkel, which your instructor will provide.

For scuba diving, however, you first need to take a course and get a certificate. The gear you need is more sophisticated and will be provided by your scuba diving school.

Recommended ages for scuba diving: 8 to 75.
