First time and non-certified divers can experience the wonders of scuba diving in a beautiful dive destination. Begin with a short ride through the town of Mahahual to an eco-friendly dive center where you will be fitted with scuba gear and given an introductory lesson to scuba diving. Your instructor will then take you on a guided dive, where you'll see pristine corals and breathtaking reef formations that form massive ledges and swim through. Common marine life seen on these dives include turtles, lobsters, stingrays, eels and barracuda as well as a variety of tropical reef fish.
