Cozumel

Cozumel is one of the most popular dive destinations in this hemisphere with good reason. With world-class drift diving and abundant marine life, beginners and advanced divers alike will delight in underwater exploration with experienced dive guides. The choice of activities are boundless in Cozumel: golden beaches, turquoise waters, friendly people, festivals, scattered Mayan ruins, great restaurants, a myriad of stores, diving, golfing, romance, and a whole new world where everybody has a place under the sun. But the diving takes center stage...

The Diving

Minimum dive certification/experience:  Perfect for beginners. A great spot to complete your Open Water Diver certification, Advanced Open Water Diver and more. 

Most dive sites are found within the boundaries of the Cozumel Reefs National Marine Park, which protects 29,000 acres of the Meso-American reef system – the second largest barrier reef system in the world. Created in 1996, the park is home to some 26 types of corals with more than 100 subspecies and more than 500 fish species, including the endemic splendid toadfish. Divers often encounter sea turtles, sharks, moray eels and other critters while drift diving on the currents Cozumel is famous for.

Casa del Mar

Casa del Mar Hotel & Dive Resort is a charming Mexican hideaway perfectly set up for divers. Situated two and a half miles south of downtown and less than five minutes away from the famous "Paraiso" reef, the property is surrounded by beautiful and exotic garden area with a Mexican town feeling. You will also find a beach area with palapas, Jacuzzi, swimming pool with pool bar, plus an on-site dive shop and shore diving.

We have reserved Superior rooms furnished with either one king bed or two smaller beds. They each come with a balcony or terrace, AC, cable TV, hair dryer, racks for dive gear and more.

Travel

Round-trip flights to Cozumel are around $500 and go up from there. You can also fly into Cancun and either take a local flight to Cozumel on Maya Air OR take the ferry to Cozumel from Playa del Carmen. You should plan to arrive at Casa del Mar on July 1st. If you get in early, you can get a shore dive in at the hotel! When leaving, choose any flight that leaves after 1 PM on the 6th if you plan to dive the day before. Please contact the shop before booking your flights.
