History
The Riviera Maya’s reefs developed on ancient coral platforms and became dive destinations as coastal resorts expanded in the late 20th century.
Conservation
Operators encourage a no‑touch policy and reef‑safe sunscreen; local marine protected areas regulate anchoring and collection to reduce reef damage.
Reserve your spot on the Scuba Certified Diving Immersion at Maroma Beach (1 or 2 tanks) today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Bring your certification and logbook
You’ll need proof of certification; instructors will also want to check recent dive experience before diving to 12–16 m.
Use reef‑safe sunscreen
Apply reef‑safe sunscreen before and after your dive to protect corals and comply with local conservation practices.
Equalize early and often
Depth change is modest but continuous equalization prevents discomfort during descent to 12–16 meters.
Hydrate and avoid heavy meals right before diving
Boat time and briefings are short, but dehydration increases risk of decompression issues and ear problems.
Certification card & logbook
Instructors will verify certification and recent dive experience before entry.
Reef‑safe sunscreen
Protects coral and reduces chemical exposure; often required by operators.
Swimwear and quick‑dry coverup
Comfortable to wear under wetsuit or for surface intervals on the boat.
Light rashguard or 1–3mm wetsuit
Useful in cooler months or for extra sun protection on longer dives.
