The most beautiful and highly decorated underwater caves in the world can be found on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. If you look at a map, you'll find no rivers at all on the surface, they all flow underground, through the limestone bedrock. They are fed by the rain in the interior, which slowly makes it way to the Caribbean Sea in the east.
Quality cave diving instruction and guiding in Mexico at the ProTec Dive Centers in Playa del Carmen and Tulum, Mexico Cave diving is different from any kind of diving you’ve probably ever done. Admission to these wonder-filled playgrounds comes with a price. To safely cave dive one must be cool and level-headed, exercise mature judgment, be properly equipped and every dive must be well planned and executed.
The by far most beautiful underwater caves and Cenotes on the planet are located here in Mexico either in the Riviera Maya, the area around Playa del Carmen, Puerto Aventuras, Akumal and Tulum or within the large, mostly unknown and unexplored area of the the Central Yucatan Peninsula around Merida, Homun and Tizimin.
Much of the cave diving done in Mexico is done in the Yucatan, where nearly 33,000 feet of caves have been explored. Though there are areas where relative novice divers can "get their feet wet," some of the best diving locations are reserved for experienced divers. There are multiple systems in the area, and there are even opportunities for those who would like to combine multiple disciplines - such as repelling and diving.
Cave diving is serious business. You have to carry all the oxygen that you will need with you, as there is no coming up for air. There are a variety of cave types, including long caves and deep caves. It is best to research well before deciding which type of cave you would like to explore.
Cave diving is truly and "off the beaten path" kind of adventure. It is reserved for only the bravest and most well prepared divers. But, for those who are ready to put in the work, the rewards are worth it. They will be among the few who explore the majestic underwater cave systems which dot the coast of Mexico.

great photo. Its amazing how clear the water is on these places and how much of its beauty is at our sight. Snorkeling and scuba diving are in my opinion obligatory activities when spending a vacation on the riviera maya.
