If you are searching for a warm, hospitable country with a bit of a difference, you could do worse that attach Mexico to your short list. If you are wondering what there is to do in Mexico, well, there is lots of history, appetizing food, culture and beautiful, beautiful, deep-blue waters. If you are searching for a bit of adventure in your vacation, scuba diving in Mexico could be it.
If you are not already a scuba diver, that is not a difficulty, because you can learn from scratch at many of the diving schools and diving clubs in Mexico.
However, if you would like to get the most out of a diving holiday abroad, you could endeavour to learn the fundamentals before you get on the plane.
You see, you can learn everything in Mexico, but not a lot of clubs would take you out into the sea, until it is safe for you to do go; until you were proficient. This may take longer than your two weeks holiday. So if you could get the basics out of the way before you went, you would enjoy sea diving more.
There are loads of diving features in Mexican waters that can be reached by scuba divers, even novices, but one of the great thrills that a great deal of beginners crave is swimming with dolphins and turtles and this you can do in Mexican coastal waters.
However, besides these larger sea creatures, there are thousands of varieties of fish: some small and some very large. There are also reefs, plants and wrecks.
One of the easiest ways of finding a trustworthy diving club, is to book the diving at the time you book your holiday or through the hotel when you arrive there.
You could also book via the Internet before you left and check on a club's reputation by entering into a search engine: "worries with ...." or "disputes with ...", where '...' is the name of the club.
If you are already vacationing in Mexico and you would like to have a go, why not ask about a local club with a good reputation for being safe divers at the local yacht club or marina?
People who spend a great deal of time on the water and who own boats locally are sure to know someone who will take you on. They might even take you out themselves.
No matter where you go on the shoreline in Mexico, you will find scuba diving clubs and teachers, so do not let that put you off. If you do not have your own diving gear, do not worry - very few beginners have a full kit.
Most people rent in the start until they are certain that they are hooked on the sport, because a full set of diving gear is not cheap, although you could get your first wet suit second hand.
Look in diving clubs and on eBay for second hand diving apparatus, you will definitely save a heap of money until you are sure that scuba diving is for you.
