Just some facts about things you might have missed over the last few years...or days...

Did You Know:

2. That all divers get a 15% discount on hotel rooms at our Hotel Tropical CasaBlanca including the villa rental.

3. The best diving months are from May to November...with super calm seas, almost like a lake most days, lots of sealife and less divers in the ocean

4. That you can only dive decorated caverns like ours here in Quintana Roo...there are no others like it in the world..and you only have to be open water certified to dive them

5. That the Abyss Dive Center has been around for over 13 years...yikessss either that makes Dave really old or he was super young when he started (lets opt for the latter)

6. That the hotel has a real cenote on the property with fish, turtles and a very dedicated staff who like to clean the turtles.....they are concerned that they dont look their best for our visitors...(this is really true....they clean the turtles, man we are the luckiest people in the world)
