Over and over again just fascinating - Turtles.
At our local dive “Tortugas” you enjoy the whole year through these amazing animals.
Turtles belong to the group of reptiles and the oldest stones found with fossils of turtle were about 250 Million years old. Turtles were living on earth long before any dinosaurs.
Thanks to the high capability of adapting to new situations we can still enjoy turtles all over the world. Everywhere you find turtles except in the polar regions. Most turtles are endangered species today and the main reason for that is us, the humans.
The dive “Tortugas” is one of the most popular dives all around Playa del Carmen. In between 16 m and 40 m you will find these amazing animals looking for food on the ground or just swimming around. Despite the turtles you will find lots of barrel sponges, hard and soft corals and lots of other interesting marine life during this dive. Moray eels, stingrays, barracudas, big parrot fishes, snappers and from June to September large schools of huge tarpons.
“Tortugas” is a fascinating and ideal dive for beginners and experienced divers. There is a lot to see and enjoy for everybody. For me it is always pure fun to see turtles in the open nature.
This dive is just a 100% MUST!!!.
