The Caribbean is the world's most popular destination for scuba diving and no wonder - its water hovers around 80 degrees, its visibility is crystalline, and its stunning coral reefs and brilliant tropical fish are often present at shallow depths, allowing for longer bottom time.
Dive packages make it easy to experience the walk-in diving of Bonaire, the volcanic
diving of Saba, and the pristine coral formations of Curaçao. The Palencar
Reef, second in length only to Australia's Great Barrier Reef, beings a short
boat ride from Cancun. Not too far down the Yucatan Peninsula, cenotes - water
filled underwater caves worshipped by the Mayans - tempt visitors today for exhilarating
scuba and snorkelling.
