In addition, the resort offers a
once - in - a-life time experience of
swimming with whale sharks through the months of May to September
Some particularly interesting attractions include the MUSA underwater museum, where visitors can dive or snorkel through more than 2,000 underwater sculptures; a day trip to the ancient city of Coba (a two - hour drive); a sailing excursion to Isla Mujeres for relaxation and snorkeling among the reefs; or a
once - in - a-lifetime opportunity to
swim with 50 - foot
whale sharks.
And while you can snorkel and scuba dive on the reef, you can also enjoy some amazing,
once - in - a-lifetime experiences like
swimming with the protected dwarf minke
whales,
swimming with giant potato cods the size of small cars, feeding
sharks, walking on the bottom of the ocean
with the Seawalker (a spaceman - like helmet so your head and face stays dry) or exploring the reef on a Scuba Doo (a small motorised underwater vehicle for one which keeps your head dry and has a 180 degree viewing window) and cruises around at 2.5 knots).
