Have a Great Mexican Vacation
The small town of Akumal is located in Mexico on the Yucatan Peninsula, between Playa del Carmen and Tulum. Scuba diving and reef snorkeling in Akumal Bay is breathtaking.
The Akumal 'Half Moon' Bay has a beautiful white sand beach that is nestled along warm blue-green water. The cove is teaming with marine life, and is a great vacation destination for some underwater fun. You may choose the area strictly for a relaxing time, or decide to take your P.A.D.I. certification courses during your stay.
As you dive along the second largest barrier reef in the world, you will experience all types of marine animals, fish and sea life. Swim along side dozens of sea turtles feeding, snappers, angel fish, barracudas, squid and sting rays. Make sure to bring a waterproof camera to capture all of nature's splendor.
Akumal Bay boasts a beautiful sandy beach that is well protected by the reef. The green water is shallow and has a mixture of sandy and rocky bottom where a multitude of marine life can be seen. This is a great location for a wonderful vacation getaway in Mexico.
Snorkeling Fun
Not everyone wants to adventure out to deeper waters. If this sounds like you, do not fear. There is a lot of snorkeling fun to be had right off the beach. However, it is important to wear foot protection when entering the waters due to rocks and shells that are scattered through out the beach line. Excellent places to snorkel are located up and down the beach, but a couple places of note include:
• Yal-ku Lagoon: The lagoon is lined with natural limestone formations and is protected from the weather, so it is always calm. Snorkel tours are available daily and is great for the whole family.
• Jade Bay Beach: It is located in the central part of the area.
• Aventuras Akumal Beach: Located in the southern area.
The Reefs
When diving out at the reef lines you can expect to swim areas that will range in elevations. The shallow areas tend to range from 20 to 40 feet deep. As you progress out, the reef will range 50 to 75 feet deep. When you plan a dive to the deeper spots on the large barrier reef you can experience dramatic formations and elevations that can range from 100 to 150 feet deep. During your dive, expect to see many unique underwater formations along with a lot of schooling fish, marine life and corals.
