Scorpion Reef - Yucatán Cenotes

Scorpion Reef is less about the reef itself and more about the adventure of getting there. This is an offshore dive in the Gulf of Mexico, often accessed via liveaboard, where the currents can be lively. We've seen reef sharks patrolling the deeper sections and big schools of jacks flashing past. It's a great spot for experienced divers looking for pelagics and a bit more exposure.
