Destination & Adventures
Discover The
Undersea World
Puerto Aventuras is one of the most diver-friendly communities in the Riviera Maya. Here you’ll find several small operators willing to show you the wonders of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef. This section of the reef lies about 5-10 minutes offshore by boat and contains lush coral gardens and deep cuts or canyons dropping to 130 feet (40 meters). There’s also the Mama Vina Wreck, suitable to advanced divers.
A unique experience is diving at the Cave of the Sleeping Sharks where on the bottom of the ocean a large group of reef, bull, and nurse sharks can be seen sleeping. At a depth of 20-30 meters, this dive site is recommended for advanced divers.
The current near Puerto Aventuras is mild, making this a great place for beginners and experts alike. If you’re looking to gain an initial certification or learn a new skill, Puerto Aventuras is the perfect environment.

Xaak Reef
THE BIODIVERSITY OF XAAK
To the north of Akumal lies the reef of Xaak, home to rays, nurse sharks and turtles. This makes an excellent excursion with a stop in Yal Ku Lagoon
This 60-90 ft. dive site, located about 15 minutes north, is a very special dive. Reef fingers reach up to 30 feet from the sea floor. Turtles, nurse sharks, rays, and a bright spectrum of fish are common sightings here.
Bull Sharks
From November to March, large bull shark females arrive in Playa del Carmen in order to breed. Get up close and personal with these amazing sharks. A unique experience is diving at the Cave of the Sleeping Sharks where on the bottom of the ocean a large group of reef, bull, and nurse sharks can be seen sleeping.
Mama Vina Wreck
Mama Vina Wreck, just in front of Xcaret Eco Park, is a great wreck for advanced divers. It begins at 60 feet (20 meters). An old shrimp boat that was intentionally sunk in 1995, has since developed an artificial reef and today belongs to one of the top dive sites on the Riviera Maya. Almost intact, it lies in approx. 21-30m depth with its bow facing the predominant south-north current head on.

MMUSA (Underwater Museum of Art in Isla Mujeres)
One of the most popular activities in Isla Mujeres is to visit MUSA, (Museo Subacuático de Arte). You can tour the underwater museum by glass bottom boat to enjoy over 500 sculptures by the creator Jason deCaires Taylor. For a better experience, and to get closer to the sculptures, head on a snorkelling tour or go scuba diving. MUSA was created to encourage visitors to visit an alternative area around Isla Mujeres taking the pressure off the nearby reef.
