About this dive site
Easy Caribbean reef day trips from Cancún with turtles and rays.
Isla Mujeres sits on the Mesoamerican Reef with shallow dives and snorkel stops a short boat ride from Cancún. Manchones Reef and nearby sites hold turtles, rays and colourful reef fish in generally mild conditions. Whale shark season (summer) is a separate offshore trip.
Isla Mujeres reef days are easy logistics from Cancún; summer whale-shark trips are a separate offshore season, not these shallow moorings.
