Boats leave at 8:30 a.m. Includes 2 tanks, weights and belt, divemasters, small snack, sodas and purified water. The trip consists of two dives on different reefs - the first dive is normally a 60 - 80 ft. dive, and the repetitive dive between 40 and 50 ft. There is a one hour minimum surface interval aboard the boat between dives. The exact location of the dive sites is determined by the divemaster aboard, in accordance with the weather conditions, currents and divers preference.
Add to the above trip an extra trip to a shallow reef for the third tank (usually Paradise Reef, a shallow reef with plenty of fish life, maximum depth would be 40 ft.). Boat departs at 2:30 p.m. and returns about 4:30 p.m. *Pay an additional $9.00 over the 2 tank dive and join this trip!*
MARINE PARK FEES: Effective Janurary 1, 2002 Mexican law requires a 20 pesos usage fee per day for anyone taking part in water activities inside the National Marine Park where most our dives are done. This fee must be paid in cash.

This trip is perfect for divers of any level or experience, there are usually a few divers who get certified on one of our trips, and you'll find people on the boat who've been to "Coz" many times in the past. The island and its people make this as easy a Caribbean getaway as there is.
The summer Cozumel trip offers the added advantage of an optional whale shark snorkel encounter. Whale sharks cruise the nearby waters during the summer months. The whale sharks are radio-tagged so location is not a problem. This is an all-day excursion to the north side of the Yucatan Peninsula. The excursion runs approximately ?? and includes transportation and the boat trip out to the whale sharks. Those participating in the whale shark trip will lose one day of boat diving.

Cozumel Travel Guide

Cozumel has ranked for years among the top five dive destinations in the world. Tall reefs line the southwest coast, creating towering walls that offer divers a fairy-tale landscape to explore. For nondivers, it has the beautiful water of the Caribbean with all the accompanying watersports and seaside activities. The island gets a lot more visitors from North America than Europe for reasons that probably have to do with the limited flights. It is in many ways more "cozy and mellow" than the mainland -- no big highways, no big construction projects. It's dependable. And one of my favorite things about this island is that the water on the protected side (western shore) is as calm as an aquarium, unless a norther is blowing. The island is 45km (28 miles) long and 18km (11 miles) wide, and lies 19km (12 miles) from the mainland. Most of the terrain is flat and clothed in a low tropical forest.
The only town on the island is San Miguel, which, despite the growth of the last 20 years, can't be called anything more than a small town. It's not a stunningly beautiful place, but it and its inhabitants are agreeable -- on Sunday evenings, everybody congregates around the plaza to be sociable and have a good time. Staying in town can be fun and convenient. You get a choice of a number of restaurants and nightspots. Because Cozumel enjoys such popularity with the cruise ships, the waterfront section of town holds wall-to-wall jewelry stores and souvenir shops. This and the area around the town's main square are about as far as most cruise ship passengers venture into town.
Should you come down with a case of island fever, Playa del Carmen and the mainland are a 40-minute ferry ride away. Some travel agencies on the island can set you up with a tour of the major ruins on the mainland, such as Tulum or Chichén Itzá, or a visit to a nature park such as Xel-Ha or Xcaret.
The island has its own ruins, but they cannot compare with the major sites of the mainland. During pre-Hispanic times, Maya women would cross over to the island to make offerings to the goddess of fertility, Ixchel. More than 40 sites containing shrines remain around the island, and archaeologists still uncover the small dolls that were customarily part of those offerings.
