Forget Cancun, Mexico is a truly diverse country, with a vast array of attractions for travellers of all tastes epitomised by the two totally different coastlines, one on the Pacific, the other on the Caribbean.

To the East, around the Yucatán Peninsula there is something for everyone: beginners can explore the thriving shallow reef ledges, while experienced thrill seekers can ride the famous Maroma current and dive the cenotes or inland sinkholes.
