Comments	The main reason I went on this trip was to dive the cenotes on the Yucatan peninsula. These are freshwater caverns (not caves) that are located all over the Yucatan.

Closest Airport	Cancun	Getting There	I took non-stop from NYC to Cancun and then took a bus to Playa del Carmen. I had to wait a while for the bus. The first one that showed up only took a few of the many people waiting. I got on the 2nd one. Going back to Cancun airport I took a shared taxi which only cost about $15, including tip. You need 4 passengers, but that didn't seem to take very long. I found this to be a much better option, but it may not be available when you are going from Cancun to your destination.

Enforced diving restrictions	I dove several cenotes which are caverns (not caves). You have to be with a certified cave diver and follow a specified line at all times. You should check out any of the many articles on diving cenotes in Mexico to get a fuller idea of what is involved.
