Recreational Diving Introduction

reef fish

In front of Playa del Carmen we have a steady north bound current providing nutrients and good visibility of around 80 - 100 feet / 25 - 30 meters.

The deep wall or Kantil as it is called in Spanish starts around 130 feet / 40 meters and keeps on going into the black Abyss. Deep walls liek Moc Che deep with around 70 feet / 21 meter depsth are a great place to see Turtles as well as the fla plateau reef of Tortugas with a depwsth of 70 feet / 21 meters.

All shallower reefs are plateau type reefs with an end and beginning, merging into one another. Large sandy patches can be found where in the winter time we can observe Bull Sharks.
