In Cancun even locals don't drink the water!
The cliché about Mexico is that tourist shouldn't drink the water. In Cancun and the Riviera Maya even the locals don't drink the water. Water in the hotel zone is purified to some degree, but its best only for a shower or bath, don’t drink it no matter what they tell you. Purification systems are usually not maintained!
You can buy bottled water anywhere, but when you buy water, make sure it is factory sealed to guarantee it is safe to drink. Electropura is one of the best brands in the Mayan Riviera. Another is Crystal but most Americans and Europeans don’t like the taste as much as Electropura. Bottled water is cheap and everywhere.
Use bottled water for drinking and brushing your teeth. Almost all the ice in the area comes from factories and is purified. If you are uncertain about the ice, ask your waiter.
The water table in the Yucatan is very close to the surface, and is contaminated by garbage dumps and runoff. Even in the poorest sections, the corner store sells huge bottles of purified water and kids drag carts filled with bottles to sell.
Cancun Parasailing
Parasailing is popular at the busy Cancun beaches. The rider, strapped into a colorful
parachute and safety vest, is pulled high over the sand and surf by a speedboat;
after about 10 minutes of "flying" he or she is gently deposited back on land with
the help of two catchers. Once in a while the rider is inadvertently dropped in the
bay-
Other Cancun Water Sports - Water-skiing is popular in Cancún;
Most skiers prefer Laguna Nichupté, although some can often be seen on calm days in Bahía de Mujeres north of the island. Equipment and instruction information are available from the marinas.

Cancun Sailing and Windsurfing

Cancun Scuba Diving
For the experienced scuba diver, Cancún would be a distant second choice to Cozumel, but as dive spots go, none of the Caribbean is dull. At Punta Nizúc (next to Club Med), divers and snorkelers can explore the starting point of the Belize Barrier Reef, which runs parallel to the Quintana Roo coast some 250 km (150 miles) south to the Gulf of Honduras. It's card. Resort courses (for one dive accompanied by the divemaster) and certification classes are offered.
