My first cenote & ocean dive in Tulum for the PADI open water diver as a total beginner

This is my personal account of my first diving experience to obtain the PADI open water certification in Tulum, Mexico. The positive energy by the people surrounding me and the town itself helped me overcome my fear of water. IMO Tulum is especially great if you want to give diving a try because it provides beautiful scenery of magical cenotes and ocean spots that will make you fall in love with the underwater world.
