Scuba Diving between Cozumel and Playa de Carmen
Every time I plan a dive trip to the Caribbean side of Mexico, I struggle making the decision on which side I should use as a base. Depending on the time of year, each side offers compelling elements. The Cozumel side offers short boat rides to great dive sites and some dive resorts even allow divers to shore dive. However, if a weather system is approaching the island, Mexican officials will close the port and restrict diving which will kill your dive plans. That is also true for the Playa side. Fortunately, there are many Cenotes not far from Playa del Carmen which make a perfect backup plan.
This time I decided to lodge in Playa del Carmen. I decided to stay on the Playa side because between November and March female Bull Sharks inhabit coastal water about 80-90 ft. from the beach. The female Bull Sharks are in the area to feed on small fish before they give birth.
Since, I was visiting during December, I anticipated port closures due to weather. So, it was a quick and easy decision to abort ocean diving and head to the Cenotes and dive in freshwater.
The video above highlights health of the reefs and various fish I saw during my ocean dives. I was able to execute two dives on the Cozumel side and the rest on the Playa side. Visibility was not that great on some days but I was able to capture a few good moments.
I used two scuba diving operators: Phantom Divers and Blue Life Divers. Both shops are easy to work with and have a great staff. The major difference is that Phantom Divers will bring small snacks for the Bull Sharks and Blue Life Divers does not feed the sharks. My opinion is that if you want to get really close to the Bull Sharks, go with the shop that feeds them.
Here’s an underwater photo collage from various Cenotes taken in December.

Coral Reef Watch has added a new warning category - "Risk of Near Complete Mortality (> 80% of corals)." This is so grim.
A friend succinctly said to me the other day that it feels like we're playing violin on the Titanic. Right in the gut.

Day 2 Diving Haddhunmathi Atoll
Another fun day of scuba diving logged in the books. Today I am pretty much adjusted to the new time zone and over jet lag.
We dived three sites – Pink Thila, Haleema Haa and Hithadhoo Corner. The first two dives were executed in the morning after breakfast and we were back by lunch time. After lunch, we rested for a bit and then executed the third dive of the day. All three dives were spectacular! I was memorized by the copious amounts of coral boomies that host tons of small and colorful fish.
Visibility was more than 100ft during the first two dives. For the third dive, we went to look for Manta Rays again. However, the weather changed a bit – visibility diminished and still no Manta Rays.
We will try again tomorrow for Mantas!

These Burnt Cup #Corals were seen at an intertidal-zone. A lot older than the one I caught last time, and the population is way greater here. (sharing the older photo in reply) 📸📸 🦑 🌿 #ShoreWalk #Photography #虫 #AsiaNatureChallenge
