    Rodrigo exiting a cavern at one of the most famous dive sites, La Poza, home to 100+ Tarpon. As well as creating a safe haven for marine life, the diving in Xcalac is some of the finest in Mexico, untouched and thriving with life. The way it should be. Views[247] A graceful Green Sea Turtle swims across the sea-grass beds towards the open ocean, the light catching on its beautifully patterned shell. Views[561] The full moon illuminates a local fishing boat. Xcalak Marine Park was founded by the local fishermen in order to ensure the sustainability of their fishing grounds. Views[257] Even a place as remote as Xcalak can't be completely protected from human pollution and litter clogs the coastline. Here the local children are attempting to make a difference. After learning about the damage litter causes, the children were excited to join my colleagues and I in removing as much as we could. Views[313] Reef-building corals such as this Diploria Strigosa create extremely important habitats for marine life. The restriction on fishing boats in the area has meant that the Xcalac reef is very healthy in comparison to elsewhere on the Mesoamerican reef. Views[507]
