PLAYA DEL CARMEN (known simply
as Playa) once a soporific, very Mexican fishing village, has
mushroomed in recent years and now has the dubious distinction
of being the world's fastest growing town (by a rate of 26 percent
per annum), according to the Guinness Book of Records . The beach
is one of the prettiest on the coast with unfeasibly white sand
and gloriously clear sea and the entire town is, for the moment,
still compact and easily covered on foot - as well as playing
host to the best nightlife on the Riviera Maya.
The reef offshore is almost as spectacular here as in Cozumel
and there are scores of professional scuba-diving
operations in Playa - recommended is Tank-Ha, Av 5 between C 8
and 10 (tel 9/873-0302, www.tankha.com ) which offers PADI certification
courses (US$350), one- and two-tank dives (US$45-65) and whole
dive packages (from US$175) as well as twice-daily snorkeling
tours (9.30am & 1.30pm; US$25; 3hr). If you're a real thrill-seeker,
you can sky-dive from Playa with Sky-Dive Playa
del Carmen, Plaza Marina (tel 9/873-0192, www.skydive.com.mx ),
which comes in at US$200 for a tandem dive with a certified instructor.
