Take a short, PADI-approved course to test the waters. Always wanted to try your hand at scuba diving but haven't gotten around to investing the time and money involved in taking a full course? |
Then the intense, incredibly high-visibility waters of Cozumel are the perfect place to test the waters of this popular sport. 3-hour Discover Scuba classes are perfect for helping you decide if you want to go the whole hog training in the future. There are many, many excellent and highly qualified instructors on the island to help you with this. Some work out of large dive shops and handle larger groups at a time. We think your best bounce for the dollar is going to be a very small, very personalized class. We've found a couple of independent operators -- super good instructors who specialize in one-on-one classes for the same price as you'd pay for a group class. Most will take up to 4 provided all are friends and/or family. Click Here to Read More
