60 ft Cancun Reef Dives
Cancun is home to some of the Caribbean’s most colorful reef systems, and our 60 ft (18 meter) reef dives give you the chance to explore them in detail. At this depth, you’ll encounter larger coral formations, dramatic swim-throughs, and a rich variety of marine life.

With warm water, mild currents, and guidance from our PADI 5-Star instructors, you’ll enjoy a relaxed pace in small groups, ensuring plenty of bottom time and personalized attention.
