THIS IS A TRULY UNIQUE GETAWAY DIVE EXPERIENCE TO A WORLD
CLASS DIVE SITE THAT WILL MAKE YOU WANT TO COME BACK FOR MORE! -
Only 40 minutes from the Costa Maya port, but so isolated that few have yet discovered
the variety and richness that this part of the Great Mayan Reef has to offer.
Our drivers will pick you up at the Tequila Beach Club and take you to the
shores of Xcalak, a sleepy little town near the border of Belize. Just offshore you will enter
into the Xcalak National Marine Park, the first and only national marine park in Mexico to have
been initiated by a local community. What that means is that you will be diving in a very
protected area with people who really care about it.
This reef is very much alive! It is part of the Meso-American Barrier Reef
ecosystem, the second largest reef system in the world. Very close to the resort you will find
spectacular canyons, walls and chimneys teaming with all types of colorful corals, sea fans and
sponges.
The area is extremely rich in marine biological diversity and a highly
productive breeding ground for many species of tropical fish and nesting turtles.
Eagle rays, large turtles, eels, and lobsters are commonly sighted. Whale sharks
have also been spotted here. Have no fear, they are harmless. The size of a bus,
they are simply the largest fish in the World.
Most dives here are made at 30 to 60 feet, and are generally so close
that you can even snorkel between dives right in front of the resort.
After your dive, you will be taken back to the Tequila Beach
Club where you can relax or return to the ship.
