The vibrant turquoise Caribbean waters of Akumal bay are an ideal location for scuba and nature enthusiasts. Akumal provides an extraordinary opportunity to begin your journey of underwater discovery in one of the most beautiful and biodiverse environments on the planet. The year-round conditions on the coral reef are excellent: with water temperature ranging from 80-90 F and visibility ranging from 40-100 ft, it’s a great place for divers of all levels, with calm waters and mild currents.

The reef is home to an incredible diversity of marine life, including vibrant coral gardens, schools of tropical fish, rays and nurse sharks. Though, perhaps the most awe-inspiring of the native marine life, are the sea turtles–graceful, ancient creatures that glide effortlessly through the ocean–that prefer the protection offered to the bay by the surrounding barrier reefs, and thus are a constant presence here all year long. In the Maya language, “ak,” is turtle, and “umal,” means place, or land. The name “Akumal” refers to the land of the turtles.
