For those ready for an underwater adventure, Tulum, Mexico is the place for you. This city is proclaimed by many to be the best diving destination in the world. Tulum is lined by beautiful white sand beaches, and baby blue water with great clarity. The limestone bedrock and freshwater rivers underneath, which have carved out caves and cenotes, have created incredible diving conditions. Aside from diving, Tulum offers many more attractions; ancient ruins, snorkelling, paddle boarding, adventure parks, and most notably lounging on pristine beaches.
Tulum's perfect diving conditions can be attributed to the combination of limestone bedrock and the three largest underground water systems in the world, which have created beautiful underground caves, cenotes, and pools. The additional warmth of the Caribbean water is an additional bonus. With the sun shining through the water, it also adds more clarity. While this diving will thrill even the most experienced divers with difficult dives available, this is also a great location for beginner divers, with many novice classes offered. For beginner divers, we recommend Casa Cenote, and for more experiences divers the "Pet Cemetery" cenote promises adventure.
