SEA AND JUNGLE


Among the eco-systems of the Yucatan Peninsula, we find the Great Mayan Reef, that runs along the Quintana Roo coast. Akumal’s Bay calm and clear waters, facing the Reef, present a very safe place to learn scuba diving. The Akumal Dive Shop is one of the first scuba diving facilities in the Yucatan and is often referred to as the "Original" Akumal Dive Shop. For over thirty years the dive shop has conducted open water dives on the coral reefs in front of the small village of Akumal. We are "the real thing". The Akumal Dive Shop is a Five Star PADI Training Facility and Instructor Development Center specializing in recreational snorkeling and scuba diving. Also in the Yucatan Peninsula are located several of the largest Biosphere Reserves of Mexico, as well as many vestiges of Mayan Archaeology. In this 7 nights (8 days ) excursion you will have the opportunity of diving and fishing in the crystal clear Caribbean waters as well as get into the dense and extense Mayan jungle and visit these important archaeological sites.
