Mexico · SCUBA DIVING IN COZUMEL
Good scuba diving in Cozumel fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 15 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.

Intro scuba at Chankanaab Park in Cozumel, one-tank underwater time with caves, sculptures and marine life, plus beach access.
“Everything was smooth! I did not realize it was inside a Marine park that gave access to scuba, snorkeling, and a Mayan ruin section! The guide (Leo) made the dive a cool experience! We saw some eels, puffer fish, spiny lobsters, stingrays and several coral heads. We also went through this cool cave and stopped in front of a big Jesus and Mary statue. The depths weren’t that deep (30 ft) but it was a good diving experience. Afterwards they offered a free drink (margarita) from the bar and some tequila tastings. They also gave you access to beach loungers and umbrellas (all of this is apart of your package).…”
Cozumel mini-SUB lets you breathe normally underwater, ride an underwater scooter, and see fish and coral close up in about an hour.
“The instructor was great. I almost passed out getting into the bubble. I think I became claustrophobic. However my diver helped me relax and the show went on. It was pretty cool. I said no to taking pictures in the beginning but ended up wanting pictures in the end, however it was too late. I just wish they took pictures of everyone regardless, but I had a great time. Thanks for making me feel comfortable guys..”

“Amazing experience - phenomenal staff helped us get checked in and set up with gear, everything was super clean and in great shape. The dive guides were super knowledgeable and a pleasure to dive with! The dives we went on were amazing - we have been diving all over the world but these locations were some of the best, especially swimming under the coral and with all of the marine life! Would absolutely come back and recommend to all!”
