Because of the close proximity of the Manchones reef, the gentle current and the strict safety guidelines, Isla Mujeres is a very good dive location for families who want to scuba dive together. Many of the locations around the island are at a depth of only 9 – 12 metres with an average water temperature of 26-28° C. Visibility is exceptional, normally 25-30 metres. There are over 50 local dive sites and most can be reached in less than 25 minutes. The extraordinary variety of terrain, plant and sea life offer an exciting dive for the beginner as well as the more advanced diver.
