The reefs are inside the Cozumel Reefs National Marine Park, so they are protected and healthy, and the classics have names every diver knows: Palancar, Santa Rosa Wall, Columbia, the shallow gardens of Paradise Reef.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"xd-check\">\n<li><strong>Drift dives<\/strong> where the current does the work and the boat follows the group, so there is no swimming back<\/li>\n<li><strong>Walls and swim throughs<\/strong> on the deeper sites, with the sense of scale that made Cozumel famous<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shallow gardens<\/strong> for the second dive or for divers who prefer to stay above 18 metres<\/li>\n<li><strong>Turtles, eagle rays, nurse sharks<\/strong> and the splendid toadfish that lives nowhere else<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We choose the two sites on the day, for the current, the conditions and the experience in the group; a particular reef or a particular animal can never be promised.

Open Water is enough for the shallower reefs; the deep walls sit beyond 18 metres and need Advanced Open Water or equivalent logged experience, and we plan the two sites around the certifications in the group. If you have never drift dived, tell us: the briefing covers it, and the calm way Cozumel&#8217;s current runs makes it an easy place to learn.<\/p>\n<p>If it has been a while since your last dive, a <a href=\"\/fun-dives\/\">reef morning in Playa<\/a> the day before is the right warm up: shallower, calmer, and a chance to sort out weights and gear before the crossing. Non divers can start with the <a href=\"\/open-water\/\">Open Water course<\/a>, three days in Playa del Carmen.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"xd-callout\">\n<h2>Cozumel or Playa del Carmen?<\/h2>\n<p>Both, from one base. Cozumel has the more famous reefs and the clearest water; Playa del Carmen has the variety: <a href=\"\/cenotes-del-carmen-and-the-riviera-maya\/\">cenotes<\/a> twenty to sixty minutes away, <a href=\"\/shark-dives\/\">bull sharks<\/a> in winter and <a href=\"\/fun-dives\/\">reef mornings<\/a> ten minutes from the beach.

We meet there at 08:00 and cross by speedboat, so you never need the passenger ferry or an island taxi.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"xd-qa__item\">\n<h3>How long is the day?<\/h3>\n<p>About four and a half hours: we meet at 08:00 and you are back in Playa by about 12:30, with the crossing, two dives and brunch on the boat in between. The afternoon is free.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"xd-qa__item\">\n<h3>Do I need to be certified?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, the trip is for certified divers. Open Water is enough for the shallower reefs; the deep walls need Advanced Open Water or equivalent logged experience. Send your certification and your recent experience and we confirm the plan.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"xd-qa__item\">\n<h3>How big is the group?<\/h3>\n<p>Normally four divers with the guide, so the group drifts together and the boat can follow it easily.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"xd-qa__item\">\n<h3>I have never done a drift dive. Is Cozumel a good place to start?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. The current is steady rather than strong, the boat follows the group so nobody swims back, and the briefing covers the procedures. Good buoyancy is what matters.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"xd-qa__item\">\n<h3>What is included in the 3,400 MXN?<\/h3>\n<p>The speedboat crossing, two guided dives, tanks and weights, and brunch on the boat. Rental equipment is 500 MXN per day and Nitrox 100 MXN extra per dive. There is no extra marine park fee.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"xd-qa__item\">\n<h3>What happens if the port is closed?<\/h3>\n<p>The harbour master closes the port on windy days and boat trips stop. You choose another day or a refund; booking the Cozumel day early in your stay keeps another day possible.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"xd-qa__item\">\n<h3>Which is better, Cozumel or the Playa del Carmen reefs?<\/h3>\n<p>Cozumel has the more famous reefs and the clearest water; Playa has the variety: bull sharks in winter, the wreck, and the cenotes on the doorstep. Most divers who stay a week do both and are glad they did.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"xd-qa__item\">\n<h3>Can I combine Cozumel with the cenotes?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, and that is the point of basing yourself in Playa del Carmen: Cozumel one day, a cenote day the next, both from the same small centre. Leave a day between a deep dive and your flight.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"xd-qa__item\">\n<h3>Is the crossing rough?<\/h3>\n<p>On a calm day it is a fast, fun ride; when the wind is up, the port closes and nobody goes. If you are prone to seasickness, take your usual remedy before the boat and eat a light breakfast.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"xd-qa__item\">\n<h3>How do I book the Cozumel trip?<\/h3>\n<p>Send your dates, your certification level and your recent experience through the <a href=\"\/quick-booking\/\">quick booking form<\/a> or on <a href=\"https:\/\/wa.me\/529841779735\" rel=\"noopener\">WhatsApp<\/a>.
