I dived with the "Scuba Cancun" club, the first historic club to open in Cancun.

The boat to access the dive sites is called "Scuba III"; I wonder what happened to the other "Scuba I & II" 😐

To access the dive sites, we take a 30-minute boat ride 🛥

Upon arrival, we gear up 🤿, and off we go, diving into the water...

As soon as we reach the bottom, we are immediately greeted by schools of fish, they're everywhere 😍

Some fish were curious enough to approach and see who was visiting, like this porcupinefish 👀

For others, it was mealtime, like this pufferfish who was dining 🍽

In every dive, we remember about 10 things, but there are especially 1/2 main elements, which I call "the pièce de résistance" 😁

This time it was a beautiful Eagle Ray 🦈 that we saw twice, out in the open sea, and at the end during the safety stop.

In addition to the fish, the corals were magnificent. And upon closer inspection, we can see nudibranchs, like this Doris climbing on this elk horn coral 🪸

Some were ready to play and posed for the camera, like these surgeonfish 🐠 and damselfish.

While others tried a trick by leaving and changing color, like this cowfish

Grouper and Turtle 🐢 were present 🔥

We end with a touch of beauty with this seashell 🐚 that could make a magnificent wallpaper 😉

That's all for the morning dive. We'll go back in the afternoon to visit the "Musa" underwater museum 👀

To start the Musa museum, we're greeted by this bartender & his dog 🍹🐕

His car 🚗 was parked nearby.

Then, the museum begins, and it's crowded, there's a crowd of people 😲

In all this crowd, I kept looking 👀 for my lost private keys 🗝️ at the bottom of the ocean 🌊

I wasn't the only one searching; others even plunged their heads deeper to search.

That's all for the bubbles in Cancun/Isla Mujeres 👋

It's time to resurface for the next part of the thread, diving in the Cenotes in Playa del Carmen 👀

Stay Tuned ✌
