Scuba Diving and Snorkeling in Akumal, Mexico
When traveling to Akumal Mexico one nearly passes this small quiet village by without realizing that it is actually one of the Caribbean coast’s best locations for diving and snorkeling on the Yucatan Peninsula. Akumal is located a mere 65 miles to the south of the Cancun resort area and 50 miles from the Mexican airport. It may be small but it is the ideal vacation get away for families or divers who wish to escape the daily rush of Mexico’s often crowded beaches. Located in Akumal are two very tranquil bays as well as the Yalku Lagoon which is perfect for family swimming or snorkeling. The area boasts of 30 beautiful reef sites that are ideal for diving while the beautiful white sandy beaches invite one to enjoy the relaxing Mexican sun.
There is an abundance of accommodations in Akumal, five different restaurants which offer local and European Fare, several grocery stores, a few boutiques or gift shops plus an excellent Dive Shop. Most of these attractions are within a 15 minute walk of one and other. The best part of this small village is that should you be interested in snorkeling, diving, fishing or merely relaxing in the warm Mexican sun you will find you can walk to the various locations although buses and taxis are readily available should you desire them.
The temperatures in Akumal range around 80 degree during September to April and during the rest of the year you can expect 90 degree temperatures. The area receives a gentle sea breeze from the nearby Caribbean and during the winter season you may require a sweater in the evenings.
The local dive shop will setup your equipment and have it ready for your dive when you arrive at the dock. They have all the necessary diving equipment you will need at reasonable rental rates. You will be provided with an 80 cu. Ft aluminum tank which is filled to approximately 3000 psi. You will board one of the 28 foot open panga boats docked nearby. The dives are generally limited to eight people plus the dive master and the ships captain. Should you happen to be part of a larger group you can easily make special arrangements for all members to dive.
Most of the arranged dives are drift dives which take place over very stunning and colorful coral reefs. The typically currents are weak in this area and water temperature hover around 82 degree. The underwater visibility in the area can reach 50 feet up to 150 feet depending upon the weather. A light wet suit is recommended during the winter season.
If you are seeking a pristine location with clear water and an abundance of undersea life to view during your next dive adventure then Akumal Mexico is the place you have been dreaming about.

Attaining a pilots license and scuba dive certificate question?
Right now im flying and will shortly take a diving course. My question for the pilots license, what jobs can i get with it? Im flying a 172 SP and need 24 more flights to get certified. I ask my instructor about what i can really do with this thing except the ability to fly a plane by myself, but he just never answers me or misses what i say. Can this count for a credit in a school for becoming a commercial pilot? Can i become a private pilot or even a teacher if i pass the flying tests?
If any of you are divers what jobs can you get with this gift. i been thinking about becoming a frogman and making money by cleaning peoples boats and replacing stuff like zincs. What jobs and steps can i take to get a job with diving?
My question for the pilots license, what jobs can i get with it?
You cannot get any job with only a private pilot certificate. You would need at least a commercial pilot certificate to work for compensation in the US. As a private pilot you can operate an aircraft, and take passengers, for your own personal use. That's it.
I'm flying a 172 SP and need 24 more flights to get certified.
Things don't always go according to the plan in the syllabus, so the 24 flights may or may not be adequate to finish your training.
Can this count for a credit in a school for becoming a commercial pilot?
A private pilot certificate requires at least 40 hours of flight time (US, part 61). A commercial pilot certificate for airplanes requires 250 hours. The 40 hours or more you acquire during your private training does count towards the 250 total, so yes. 250 hours is usually adequate to finish your private, instrument, and commercial without going over.
Can i become a private pilot or even a teacher if i pass the flying tests?
You have to pass the tests to become a private pilot; there's no "if". That's what you are working on now. You have to meet higher experience requirements, and pass additional tests to become a commercial pilot, instrument rated, or a flight instructor. Each rating has its own written and practical tests. They go in a sequence. Usually you would do your private (fly by yourself), then instrument rating (fly under IFR), then commercial (fly for hire), then flight instructor (teach new students), etc. You would have to go through at least commercial if you want to actually work as a pilot, and be certified as an instructor if you want to teach.
Like someone else said, the scuba activities are completely unrelated, except of course for the already mentioned 24 wait period before flying. I have never done scuba, but I imagine if you do both activities frequently it would be easy to lose track and accidentally fly too soon. Please be careful. I am sure there is another section on Answers (water sports comes to mind but I'm not sure) where they can give you a better feel for the types of jobs you could get there.
