It is always the best season of the year to visit us to explore the beautiful coral reefs, colorful fish, turtles, wrecks and the cenotes among many other sites in our exotic Mexican paradise! Each season has its highlights, and depending on your preferences, you might want to consider traveling between June and September to swim with the biggest fish in the ocean, the Whale Shark, between December and March to either snorkel with the fastest fish, the Sailfish or if you are an experienced diver looking for an adrenalin kick, to dive with Bull Sharks.

Generally we would recommend not bringing unnecessary items on the boat (particularly anything that that you would not want to get wet), but certainly a small bag of essential items is possible.

Water will be provided at the base and onboard.
