The Riviera Maya, an 80-mile stretch of coast located in
the Yucatan peninsula between Cancun in the north and Tulum in the
south, is amazingly full of things to do.
CAVERN AND CAVE DIVING: Within 30 miles of Tulum are well over
50 cenotes/cave systems to explore.
OCEAN DIVING:
the Mexican Caribbean offers great diving, from the walls of Cozumel to
the soft corals and sponges around Tulum. A fanstastic
location for technical diving and training, with various depth plateaus
reaching down to satisfy even the most extreme mixed-gas diving,
MAYAN CULTURE:
the Yucatan peninsula is studded with
pre-Columbian Mayan temples and archaeological sites such as Cobá,
Chichen Itza, Ek Balam and Tulum. You will find plenty of opportunity
to find something for your family and friends back home,
BEACHES:
beautiful white beaches to relax on or for
all kinds of water sports on the clear turquoise Caribbean waters,
NIGHT LIFE & SHOPPING:
every night is Saturday night in nearby Playa del Carmen, great for
shopping or clubbing. A more relaxed atmosphere can be enjoyed here in Tulum, without forgoing fun and quality nightlife.
TULUM:
Located about 45 minutes south of Playa del Carmen, Tulum is merely yards away from the best cave diving of the Riviera
Maya - with over 50 cave systems in the area,
this really is "CAVE HEAVEN"!
Tulum, where we are based, is a phenomenal location for the
following reasons:
CAVE DIVING:
many caves are between 2 and 15
minutes by car.
ACTIVITIES:
beach, fishing, open water diving, dining and shopping.
ACCOMMODATION: we
have a few double bedrooms for rent at our facility, a 5-minute walk
from "downtown" Tulum and a 10 minute bicycle ride from the first
beach.
QUALITY LOCATION:
a quiet enclave on the Mexican Caribbean,
perfect for single divers or groups, as well as non-diving family
members, which is only minutes from the archaeological sites and beaches of
Tulum.
HOW TO GET HERE:
By air
Fly into Cancun airport (airport code: CUN), Tulum is less
than 90 minutes south on Highway 307. The road is two lanes in each
direction all the way from Cancun airport to Tulum, making
traveling by road a lot less stressful!!!
TRANSPORTATION:
You can rent your own vehicle (we can help you with that as well), you
can use the "colectivo" service in any direction or you can call a taxi.
CLIMATE:
Located just within the tropics, the Riviera Maya enjoys sunshine most
of the year, with temperatures ranging from 75°F+ (25°C+) in the winter
to 90°F+ (30°C+) in the summer.
The winter months tend to be drier and evenings are usually pleasantly
cool, whereas the summer months can be very humid and hot, even at
night. However, we are blessed with a year-round breeze that takes the
edge off the heat.
