On CBS's Amazing Race, Season 3, Leg 2 (original air date: 10/9/2002), teams travel by bus from Mexico City to Cancun where they complete a detour. Teams have a choice of riding a Waverunner or Kayak to find their next clue. While I don't believe I went to the exact same location as the Amazing Race teams, here's a photo of Paul (my husband) and me riding a wave runner in Cancun in July 2005.
In the photo (right), we are standing in front of the ferry boat to take us from Playa del Carmen to Cozumel. On this trip, we flew into Cancun, took a shuttle van (approx 1.5 hours driving time) from the Cancun airport to Playa del Carmen. From Playa, this is the ferry boat to Cozumel.
On this trip (Sept 2011), we spent 3 days in Mexico getting our PADI Open Water Diver Certification. Here's our "graduation" photo with our instructor (right). Our instructor "Anna" is from France and speaks English, French, and Spanish fluently.
I have visited Mexico 3-times, and every time I have flown in and out of the Cancun airport. From Atlanta, the flight to Cancun is 2 hours, which makes Cancun an easily accessible vacation spot for a quick weekend getaway. Additionally, everyone we have met working in the tourism industry in Cancun / Playa del Carmen / Cozumel speaks fluent English.
