Mexico borders the USA to the north, the Pacific Ocean to the south and west, Guatemala, Belize and the Caribbean Sea to the southeast, and the Gulf of Mexico to the east. Playa del Carmen is located on the Mexican Caribbean coast, the so-called Riviera Maya, 70 km south of Cancún airport. The small, family-run hotel with its beautiful pool area is located in the middle of Playa del Carmen and despite its proximity to the center, it is very quiet and invites you to relax. The beach, many restaurants, bars, stores and supermarkets are just a few minutes' walk away. The Spanish word "cenote" originally comes from the Mayan word "dznot" and means "sacred water". The Yucatan Peninsula is basically a huge sponge soaked full of the clearest fresh water. Cenotes have been formed by the dissolution of limestone, creating caves and underground watercourses. Visibility of over 100 meters can be achieved, making diving an unforgettable experience. In many caves, salt water is pushed in from the sea and from a depth of 10 meters a layer forms between the salt water and fresh water in which the water mixes, the so-called "halocline", which appears like a surface in the water both upwards and downwards in its untouched state and conjures up a white line on the limestone when illuminated accordingly with a diving lamp! In general, the mix of stalactites, stalagmites and columns, as well as the light effects created by the sun, the view from the depths through the surface into the jungle, the mirror effects of the rocks in the shallow water to the surface and the "halocline" in combination with over 100 meters of visibility, is an absolute experience, especially for the spoiled, experienced diver. All cenotes are different and have their own charm and beauty and are sure to guarantee a big grin on your face after diving. Services: Transfer airport - hotel - airport deluxe double room with shower/WC/AC 14 nights with breakfast 18 cenote dives (9 days) incl. drinks/snacks Dive tank, weights and torch on loan Travel companion: Jürgen

DIVING SAFARI - EGYPT - RED SEA MY BLUE STORM - St. Johns Tour At 37 m long and 8 m wide, the dimensions are more than sufficient for the 24 guests, who are pampered by 12 crew members and 2 dive guides. Nothing is left to be desired. Even from the outside, the Blue Storm makes a fantastic impression and even some "old safari bunnies" will drop their jaws when they enter the saloon. Too good to be true? Not at all. Why should divers spend the best time of their year in a spartan way? The MY Blue Storm offers 2 upper deck cabins with double beds, 2 main deck cabins with double beds, 2 main deck cabins with separate beds, 5 twin cabins on the lower deck, all with en-suite bathrooms and air conditioning.

Included in your tour are 3 freshly prepared meals a day, selected snacks between dives, soft drinks, water, tea and coffee. Deep in the south are the St. John's Reefs. This group of reefs is rarely dived due to the long distance and therefore offers the diver an almost untouched underwater world. With luck, you may also come across manta rays and dolphins. Rays, nudibranchs, large Napoleons and moray eels are common here, and white tip sharks and turtles can also be spotted.
