Los Arcos - Playa del Carmen
★★★★☆
(413)
A place with a lot of current, suitable only for advanced or experienced divers. For this dive site it is ideal to have the NITROX certification to make the most of it. Multiple dives may be required to visit all the corners of this place.
Good chances to see big animals like sharks (even out of season), groupers, big schools of spiny mackerels, green morays, big snappers, lobsters, turtles etc.
