What You Experience Underwater
Effortless Drift Diving: Cozumel’s mild-to-strong currents let you glide along massive coral pinnacles and swim-throughs with minimal effort.
Rich Marine Life: Close encounters with sea turtles, spotted eagle rays, nurse sharks, splended toadfish (endemic to Cozumel), and vibrant reef ecosystems.
Exceptional Visibility: Crystal-clear Caribbean waters usually offering 80 to 100+ feet of visibility.

In this experience, you will learn about diving safety, how to use scuba gear, perform basic scuba diving skills in shallow water, and take your first breaths underwater. An optional open water dive is also available.
