Playa del Carmen

I'll be in Playa del Carmen in January, does anyone have
recommendations for diving sites or diving organizations there? I'm a
pretty new diver, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

More interesting marine life - I don't think so. Think about a dusk
dive at Punta Tuniche - especially if the current is slow. I have seen
lobster there the size of German Shepherds and not puppies either. Crabs
and lobsters plentiful it was unbelievable. The octopi were all over
the place, squid and sea horses. I have dove all over the caribbean ,
with plenty of night dives(my favorite) nothing compares to the marine
night life at Cozumel.....

The diving is good in PDC, you can also take the boat over to Cozumel and do
a dive. and I would recommend as your last dive, to do the Cenotes, They
require good bouyancy and you should have that down towards the end of your
trip. Besides it is somewhat of fresh water, and your gear gets a good
rinse at the same time :-) Pick a dive shop that has friendly knowledgeable
people. Have fun diving, I'm leaving tomorrow for Cozumel and a week of
diving.
