Mexico lets you mix high-adrenaline drift walls in Cozumel, cavern and cave systems near Tulum, and big-animal blue water in Revillagigedo. Add Baja for sea lions and schooling fish out of La Paz and the protected reef at Cabo Pulmo. The result is a single country where beginners can find calm reefs, and experienced divers can chase currents, thermoclines, and pelagics.
