You can plan a scuba diving adventure at one of the planet\u2019s most diversified coral reefs, the Great Mesoamerican Reef. It is the world\u2019s longest reef and it contains an impressive number of sites for recreational diving. Although a permit is required for diving within the biosphere, there is plenty of opportunity for other adventures under the sea.
