Seriously, I feel like if there was a &#8220;past&#8221; Nadine I would have been some sort of explorer. So, in my recent trip down to <strong>Cancun,<\/strong> <strong>Mexico<\/strong>, I did just\u00a0that.<\/p>\n<p>First location was in the jungle at the ancient Mayan ruins of<strong> Coba<\/strong>, \u00a0where we climbed on one of the tallest temples in the <strong>Yucatan Peninsula<\/strong>. \u00a0This is the view from the top looking over the entire\u00a0jungle, talk about exploration!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.heynadine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/coba2.jpg\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-large wp-image-30514\" src=\"https:\/\/www.heynadine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/coba2.jpg\" alt=\"coba2\" width=\"940\" height=\"620\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heynadine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/cobafeet.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-large wp-image-30515\" src=\"https:\/\/www.heynadine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/cobafeet-1024x736.jpg\" alt=\"cobafeet\" width=\"940\" height=\"675\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After that it was a change of scenery\u00a0for some <strong>scuba diving<\/strong> in the <strong>cenotes<\/strong>! We did two dive total through two different cenotes just outside of\u00a0<strong>Playa del Carmen.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While this looks like cave diving, it&#8217;s actually cavern diving, quite different as cave diving is diving without light and requires a specific PADI certification. We were all certified PADI Open Water Divers, which was fine to dive here with. I do believe you have to at least be certified to dive in the cenotes, although there might be some beginner ones for those who don&#8217;t know.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-large wp-image-30512\" src=\"https:\/\/www.heynadine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Caves-2-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Caves-2\" width=\"940\" height=\"626\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-large wp-image-30513\" src=\"https:\/\/www.heynadine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/IAP00001-2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"IAP00001-2\" width=\"940\" height=\"528\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Seriously though, if you are in\u00a0<strong>Cancun, Mexico, <\/strong>this is a<strong> must- do! <\/strong>Completely other worldly.
