Water
adventures
If you have never been scuba diving, you
don't know what you're missing. It is a fantastic otherworldly experience.
There are plenty of dive shops that offer dive instruction. Reliable, quality dive shops include Playa del Carmen's Cyan Ha.
Underground and underwater
Already know how to dive? Take it to the next level and learn to cave
or cavern dive. Cave diving is popular
in the Yucatan because the caves are relatively shallow and there are
so many of them. You can learn to cave dive with Mayatech
Cave and Technical Divingor Zero Gravity.
If you aren't quite experienced enough for cave diving, most area dive
shops offer cavern dives in cenotes.
The dive goes around the cave entrance, keeping in site of natural daylight.
To do a cavern dive, you must be a certified diver and go out with a fully
certified cave diver as your divemaster.
If you are not a certified diver, you can still get a big thrill out
of cenote cavern snorkeling. Cyan Ha runs a snorkeling trip through a gorgeous cenote cavern. This
is a one of a kind adventure only found in this part of Mexico. Believe
us, you will remember it forever.

the island, you go on a fishing boat to see flamingos and other exotic
birds.
Right next to Playacar and Playa del Carmen, you can ride motorized ATVs
through the jungle and see Mayan ruins and one of the most beautiful cenotes
around. ATV
Explorer is Playa del Carmen's original jungle tour, and still the
best.

the jungle to see these ruins and climb the highest pyramid in the Yucatan,

followed by a ride on a zip line across a lake. The most interesting part
of the tour is meeting villagers, who speak Mayan and some Spanish.
