Isla Mujeres Scuba Diving Travel Tips

  • Experience the area's most famous dive site in Sleeping Shark Cave, a deep-water grotto where sharks congregate in a strangely lethargic, non-aggressive state.
  • Dive the "Ultrafreeze" to a shipwreck in chilly water, or the less nippy Media Luna, a fun drift dive.
  • Mild waters range from 78 to 82 degrees and bottom out at 30 to 40 feet.


Isla Mujeres Travel Guide

Isla Mujeres (Island of Women) is a casual, laid-back refuge from the conspicuously commercialized action of Cancún, visible across a narrow channel. It's known as the best value in the Caribbean, assuming that you favor an easygoing vacation pace and prefer simplicity to pretense. This is an island of white-sand beaches and turquoise waters, complemented by a town filled with Caribbean-colored clapboard houses and rustic, open-air restaurants. Most hotels here are clean, comfortable and beachy, with a few luxury boutique hotels dotting the island. But, in general, if you're looking for lots of action or opulence, you're likely to prefer Cancún. Read More

  • I am visiting this island from Cancun for the sole purpose of enjoying a day at the beach. Can you tell me what beach(s) offer lounge chairs, bathroom facilities, etc? Is there a cost to rent the chairs, etc? I am guessing their are taxis that can take us there from the ferry. Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
