Why dive here
With 417+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, bull sharks, dolphins, eagle rays and hammerhead sharks - Acuario offers some of Yucatán Cenotes's richest reef diving.
Catalina Island offers a pleasant day trip, particularly for those looking for an easy, shallow dive. The wall here, dropping to around 16m, is the main event, covered in hard corals and sponges. We've often seen schools of snapper congregating, and it’s a good spot for spotting the occasional turtle or stingray cruising by. Visibility hovers around 18m on a good day. It’s an accessible site, well-suited for newer divers or those who prefer a relaxed pace, though the single small beach can get pretty busy with day-trippers.
