In 1999, I spent the months March through June working in Mexico City. I managed to sight-see on several weekends I was there, but only once did I manage to scuba: a two-tank dive in the waters off Cancun.... But I got out and about quite a bit doing other things.
Cancun
Drift diving what I would term a 'typical' Caribbean reef was fun, but Cancun is a P_A_R_T_Y town - it's hard to stay sober or get enough sleep to be safe diving.
The dive sites visited were "Pointe Negra" (18m) and "Grapillo" (16m). I wore a 3mm wetsuit, as did the dive master, but the other divers were comfortable wearing only swimsuits.
For much of the time at the first site a nurse shark was hanging around. Since I paid for the video, I guess I can reproduce it.
