Book Description
Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula attracts divers from around the world. They come to visit Cozumel’s towering walls, the lush reefs off Cancún, Isla Mujeres, Isla Contoy and the Riviera Maya, Banco Chinchorro’s pristine offshore sites and a network of cenotes and freshwater caverns that crisscross the mainland. This book offers detailed descriptions of 70 dive sites including site access, depth range and topography, diving conditions and descriptions of local marine life. You’ll also find practical topside information, full-color photos, maps and helpful illustrations, as well as a plastic marine life ID card you can take with you underwater—a feature unique to this series.
