But I don\u2019t have to go very far. Living in Mexico gives me a great chance to keep my diving skills sharp, and my mind clear.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Off the coast of Cancun, Playa del Carmen and Cozumel is the second largest reef in the world. It\u2019s full of all kinds of colorful animals. Fish, squid, octopus, eels, stingrays and all the extras like coral formations and structures. Its like an underwater museum that never closes, it just changes and becomes more amazing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Take night diving for example. I few weeks ago we went for a night dive. I must admit I was pretty scared to jump into the ocean at 7pm at night, but I was also so excited to see a different kind of coral reef. The animals that you see during the day are amazing; don\u2019t get me wrong, but at night the atmosphere changes completely.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You can see different fish and some animals that I have never seen before. The water seems so much calmer and quiet with the hustle and bustle of the day gone. The animals seem to relax back into their natural routine, like they are not on display anymore. Its almost like they are off the clock.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And don\u2019t freak out about not being able to see, you are armed with a flashlight that helps you eyes focus on what is in front of you. During a day dive, you eyes tend to wander around, but on a night dive you are focus and everything is a new surprise.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.topmexicorealestate.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>TOPMexicoRealEstate.com<\/strong><\/a><strong>; Mexico&#8217;s Leading Network of Specialists for Finding and Purchasing Mexican Properties Safely<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.topmexicorealestate.com\/mexico-real-estate-guide\/Mexico-Health-Care\/?web=Blog\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\" https:\/\/i255.photobucket.com\/albums\/hh138\/beatlo\/Banners\/kit-c2a-healthcare.jpg\" alt=\"Mexico Health Care Kit\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are many places to go diving all over the world.
