Taxis are always available at the pier upon disembarking, and we're just a short, six-mile cab ride away. For non-divers with half a day to fill, snorkeling trips or an ocean kayaking expedition are possibilities. There are many excellent dive sites on the coastal reef along this stretch of southern Yucatan coast known as the Costa Maya. Spur and groove reefs drop from 30 to 130 feet, where a wall falls to 3000'.
Some areas have deep canyons and swimthroughs.
One wonderful day brought us a dozen mantas. We see turtles frequently and on occasion encounter manatees. There is normally very little current along the Costa Maya, and visibility is generally in the 60-100' range. Tanks and weights are included in the cost of the dive. At this point, due to our remote location, we do not have Nitrox.
