Comments	Would not particularly recommend Playa del Carmen as a primary dive destination as Caribbean diving was not spectacular, unless you want to take the ferry to Cozumel (we did not so dives noted below are local to Playa del Carmen). But if you're there to enjoy the beach and nightlife, take a couple of days to dive. The cenote diving made it worth bringing the dive gear. On an ocean dive named Tortuga, saw more turtles than I have on any one dive. Other ocean dives we did were named Barracuda (swim throughs), Pared Verde, Moc-che - saw the usual Caribbean stuff including a nurse shark, spotted morays, stingrays, big schools of various fish. Our cenote dives were at Dos Ojos. First we ever did, was a wonderful experience after we got over the early apprehension. Very interesting being in a cavern with stalamites etc. I would definitely do it again. Divemaster kept us together so always felt safe.
