When people think of Cancun, they usually think of white sand beaches, massive, all-inclusive hotels, and maybe even Spring Break getaways. But did you know that Cancun is also a world-class diving destination? Located on Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, just north of the stunning Rivera Maya, Cancun offers some of the best scuba diving experiences in the world. It’s home to fascinating freshwater cenotes and a crystal-clear turquoise sea with an abundance of marine life. Here’s what you need to know about scuba diving in Cancun.

A couple of passionate divers, along with their baby, are undertaking a unique and significant project to promote ocean conservation. Traveling thousands of kilometers in a 100% electric car, they share their message about the importance of sustainable mobility, renewable energy, and reducing our carbon footprint to protect our seas.

From the cenotes in Mexico to the reefs of Raja Ampat, divers hold a passport to explore some of the most wild, pristine, and beautiful places on Earth. As the quintessential underwater eyes of the ocean, divers have also borne witness to the massive changes to this beloved underwater wilderness. Over the past several decades, ocean health has significantly deteriorated due to climate change, with rising sea temperatures leading to widespread coral bleaching and the decline of marine biodiversity. But there is hope in the growing community of underwater explorers who can apply their skills learned as divers to protecting the marine ecosystems vital to supporting life on this planet.  The collective efforts of PADI’s community of 6,600 PADI Dive Centers and Resorts, 126,000 PADI Professional Members worldwide, and more than 29 million divers can have a monumental impact on creating ocean change.
