Number 661 of 1001 the most ultimate travel experiences (at least according to the Rough Guide) is 'Diving at Palancar Reef'... well we definitely did our fair share of this during our 5 days in Cozumel.. in fact, the only diving we did was on the Palancar reef.. and what an experience!! Imagine sitting on a boat... the variegated blues and greens of the Caribbean stretching towards the pearly luminous white sands of the Yucatan coast, hiding below its surface, a five kilometre stretch of some of the worlds riches coral beds, teeming with animal life and crystal clear visibility that stretches on forever and ever... paradise!!
673 of the most ultimate travel experiences (once again if asking the Rough Guide) is 'taking a dip in the Yucatan's cenotes' All I can seriously say here is WOW! What an amazing experience!! Diving into a freshwater cavern is nothing short of life changing, well at least for a scuba diver, and I think I now have one very hooked husband... teehehe... Gearing up, waddling down hand cut stairs to the cavern opening, and finding yourself in a cathedral like space full of turquoise water and dappled sunlight is simply breathtaking... and that's before you take the plunge and descend into the eerily haunting and ghostly caverns... a once in a lifetime opportunity... one that has opened my eyes to the opportunities within scuba!!
