From Nicholas McLaren, for About.com

Not many countries can boast stunning coral reefs, incredible fresh water caves, and cold water diving experiences with Great White Sharks and Whales, but Mexico has all of this and even more. In the Sea of Cortez it's possible to dive with Great Whites, Seals, and Whales while the Caribbean diving mecca of Cozumel provides for fantastic opportunities to come face to face with Manta Rays, Whale Sharks, and every other tropical fish you could hope for. For something a little different you can even admire stalagmite and stalactite formations in the crystal clear fresh water cenotes found throughout the Yucatan.
