Discover Scuba Cozumel

 

 

 

Are you dying to try out scuba diving but don't know where to start?

Or maybe you're the adventurous type. but you aren't sure if you'll like it enough to make a commitment to getting fully certified?

 

If either of these scenarios describes you, you're a perfect candidate for Discover Scuba on your next trip to Cozumel. This special Professional Association of Dive Instructors (PADI) course is the best way we know to test the waters of scuba diving. It's an enjoyable -- and very affordable--way to finally put your scuba dreams into action

Discover Scuba (formerly known as the "Resort Course") involves about 1 hour of "classroom" work which is usually done at the water's edge. Then there's 30 to 40 minutes practicing the basic techniques. Finally, during the last hour, you'll swim out for a shore dive with your instructor right by your side.

After this, if you wish to continue diving for the rest of your vacation even though you're not yet certified, you can do so.

 

But you must
go along with an Instructor, and you can dive no deeper than 40 feet.
(Them's the official rules and good ones they are!)

Virtually every dive op on the island offers this course. But to get the most out of the experience we would strongly suggest you choose something very personalized. One on one classes cost the same as going with a group. And you'll learn faster -- and better!

Small groups of close friends or family work well, too. But preferably not more than 4 people. Cost is usually between $70 and $90 depending on what type of equipment is necessary and includes everything you need except your bod and a swim suit.
