Overview
Cancun reef scuba diving is part of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System—also known as the Great Mayan Reef—a vast marine habitat stretching over 1,000 km (620 mi) from Isla Contoy at the northern tip of the Yucatán Peninsula down to Belize, Guatemala, and the Bay Islands of Honduras. Within this extensive reef system, you’ll find numerous protected areas and parks.
Home to more than 65 species of coral, 350 species of mollusks, and over 500 species of fish, Cancun’s reefs offer an amazing variety of marine life. For divers seeking a relaxed, shallow experience (8–10 m / 26–33 ft), Manchones Reefs (Big and Small), Jardines de Manchones, and the Underwater Museum (MUSA), located across from Bahia de Mujeres (Bay of Women), are excellent choices.
If you’re looking for something more challenging, head to the Punta Cancun reefs outside the bay, where depths range from 15–17 m (50–56 ft). Dive sites such as San Toribio, Ginas, San Miguel, La Herradura, Punta Negra, El Tunel, Aristos (La Iglesia), and Grampin showcase stunning coral formations and abundant marine life. And if you want to keep exploring beyond Cancun, don’t miss the incredible diving opportunities in Cozumel!

What Our Divers Say
★★★★★

Carie Boulanger
“Frank and his crew are the best. He truly does care for your safety and not just trying making a buck. He was the best dive master. He went over in detail everything about your equipment and dives. A good review over that stuff never hurts. He even took great photos and gave them to us at no extra cost. We will definitely be using them again when we visit the area next. I get motion sickness easily so I wear a prescription patch for it. He also had dramamine in case I needed it. Being that the waters were a little rough , I decided to take one. Thankful I did because I didn’t get sick while others who never get sick were puking after the dives.“

“El servicio fue excelente!! Hice dos inmersiones con Francisco, en Punta Negra y San Miguel. Estuvieron muy bien las dos. Francisco de 10, siempre atento a cuestiones de seguridad, muy profesional, atento también a la fauna. En cuanto a este último punto, fue excelente, se pudo ver tiburón gato, tortuga, langostas, morena, pez piedra, pez globo, etc. Los recomiendo sin lugar a dudas.“
