The Caribbean Sea is home to some of the most diverse marine life in the world. Due to the thousands of square miles of corals reefs living on the sea floor, sea turtles, lobster, angel fish and thousands of other fish and plant species reside there. The best way to experience some of these rare underwater creatures is to go scuba diving.
Travelers can find many scuba diving vacations in Mexico where they will gain a greater appreciation for the Caribbean Sea's ecological treasures.
Cozumel, one of the largest islands on the Caribbean, is a very popular destination for scuba diving due to its many diverse dive sites and year-round 80-degree weather. Tourists can swim with manta rays, dozens of colorful tropical fish and even catch a glimpse of the Splendid Toad Fish. Ranging in depth from 10 to 100 feet, this island's waters offer appropriate scuba diving environments for all skill levels.
Travelers can find unique and ultra-safe vacations with Dive Paradise, a leading scuba diving company in Cozumel. This company has the largest fleet of boats on the island and over 80 professional staff members.
Dive Paradise also offers Mexico vacation packages that include diving and accommodations at the Hotel Cozumel Resort. Vacationers can choose between four or seven night packages that range in price from several hundred dollars to over $1,000, depending on the number of scuba divers. Unlike other scuba diving companies, Dive Paradise carries a maximum of 16 divers on each trip ensuring that travelers receive individual treatment. Dive Paradise offers several training courses in scuba diving, including the open water certification course, to assist any individual in enjoying the Caribbean underwater landscape. Tourists can bring their own equipment or rent items if needed. They offer larger, slower Caribbean boats with dive platforms and faster, smaller express boats that can reach isolated locations.
Cancun is yet another popular scuba diving destination. Surrounded by the world's second largest coral reef, Cancun has many diving and snorkeling opportunities for tourists. For example, Manta Divers is a top scuba diving company that specializes small group excursions, averaging only about six people per dive. They offer dives for both beginners and certified divers. Their prices range from $162 for the local package that includes three dives to $437 for the super extreme dive package that comprises of five dives in various locations. Manta Divers is the only scuba diving company that has private dive boat tours available. For $495, tourists can take a private trip to the location of their choice at any time between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. with their own professional guide.
Although many areas of the Caribbean Sea are now protected, dead and bleached, coral reefs are becoming more common due to global warming and pollution. However, because the tourist economy is closely linked to the area’s aquatic life, scuba diving companies are working to teach tourists the value of conversation and biodiversity. Therefore, scuba diving provides just one way to gain a better appreciation these great underwater ecosystems.
