Kilómetro Ocho y Medio is a coastal area in Quintana Roo on Mexico’s Caribbean side. It’s mainly used as an access point to nearby scuba diving in the broader Riviera Maya region, where boats typically run to reefs, drop-offs, and other marine sites in the Caribbean Sea. Local conditions are generally warm in season, and visibility can vary depending on currents and weather, with common Caribbean reef life such as reef fish and occasional larger animals depending on the site. Since there aren’t dive centers listed directly in this specific area record, most divers plan their trips with centers operating in nearby towns and then join day boats for the best opportunities.
