About
Our Cancun Night Dive consists of one long dive, with a maximum depth of 35 feet, making a very long bottom time into the Riviera Maya's rich coral reefs. We'll leave the docks just before nightfall & take the plunge in the early hours of the evening. As daytime marine animals retire, the nighttime creatures come out to play. These creatures that you rarely see at daytime find comfort in the darkness as they hunt for their favorite food. Get a chance to see squids, octopus, lobsters, & moray eels venture out in search of something to eat.
