Two-tank Cozumel scuba outing with boat transport, local guides, reef wildlife, and practical advice on timing, costs, gear, and cruise schedules.

“We had a great time on this excursion. The location of the dive shop was about a 10 minute taxi ride from the cruise terminal. Everyone was nice and accommodating. We had to reconfigure our dives due to the times (didn’t take into consideration the local time vs ship time) but Alicia at the dive shop helped get us on a boat for our first dive and then on a different boat for the second one. We dove with Nanou and Jolien, both great, calm guides. And the dive locations were awesome, with lots of coral and fish to see and some amazing pass through to swim though.”

“This was the perfect experience for our 4 kids and husband. The kids hadn’t dived before and were all able to clear ears and get under water to enjoy the reef for about an hour. We had two instructors and they both were very patient and did a great job making this a fun experience. The elearning materials were emailed to us within hours of booking giving us plenty of time to complete the short course. I also recommend the photographer at the shop who offered to video/take photos during the experience for extra $$.”

“Angel was the best guide. This was my first time diving, I was having insane anxiety and had a bit of a panic attack first getting in the water. But he was able to immediately calm my anxiety and help me get comfortable with being under water and breathing through the regulator. He walked me through everything again and went at my pace. He was a god send. Without him I would not have been able to dive. Thank you friend. Couldn’t recommend him and his team anymore.”

“This story is interesting to say the least... We were on a cruise during the COVID-19 pandemic. This was our last stop on our cruise and was one of the "must-do's" for us. We get to the port at 8 AM. Our ship calls the first 3 tenders. Now at our previous tender port, 123(20 minutes go by) 456(20 minutes go by) 789... This was different. We hear tenders 123 at about 8:15AM... then we wait. minutes turn in to hours... " Sorry for the delay, but due to the global health crisis, we are sanitizing the tenders both at port and upon return to the ship. Thank you for…”

“Amazing experience with Cozumel Adventures! It was my first dive in almost two years so they coordinated so I could go with a private guide my first day and do some skills refreshers before joining the regular 4-person group the next day. Great communication in terms of booking / coordinating the dives, and I felt super safe and supported at all times, including on my first night dive. Saw a ton of wildlife including nurse sharks, eagle rays, and turtles, as well. Would highly recommend to divers of any level looking to dive in Cozumel!”
