Cancun is almost an island, almost all man-made at the tip of the Mexican Yucatan Peninsula. Still a paradise even after the dense hotels and malls construction, it remains one of the best places in the world for recreational scuba diving at moderate depths.

At right, the 'Chintales' reef in the very clear turquoise color waters of Cancun.   The reefs are not what they use to be, 25 years ago. They have been scavenged of their black coral and destroyed by anchors.
Nevertheless, they still remain a lively tropical fish preservation as seen above.  Amazingly the reefs continue to re flourish as seen at right in a picture of the 'Cuevones' reef.
