Our procedures
We can pick you up at your hotel dock if you are south of Caleta harbor.
Plan Your Trip
We welcome divers of all skill levels, from beginner to advanced.
If you are new to SCUBA diving, that’s okay. Pablo is a trained, licensed instructor with exceptional language skills in Spanish and English. Pablo offers a Resort or Discovery Course. This is a fun way to learn in a safe, controlled environment. You will learn how to breathe using SCUBA gear in shallow water and then go deeper as you become comfortable. Believe me, it’s fun, fun, fun.
If you have experience, but it has been a while, you can take a Refresher or Review Course. Again, Pablo can help you with this.
If you’re ready and have sufficient experience, you can schedule your open water Drift Dives. All diving in Cozumel is drift diving. It’s lazy diving. No swimming required. You drop in the water and gradually drift with the gentle current. When you are ready to come up, you surface and the boat is right there. You really only need your fins for maneuvering.
Accomodations
We can help you select a location to stay. There are several hotels, airBnB, and VRBO options that we can recommend. Some of these places even have food included!
Prices may vary depending on how you book or if your lodging is included as part of a package.

Frequently Asked Questions
We supply everything you’ll need to enjoy your dive. You should come ready to swim.
If you have your own gear, let us know when you contact us.
That being said, masks, fins and suits are fairly personal items. The fins here, for example, are made to be worn without booties or “shoes” and so socks may be desirable. Likewise, masks must fit a person’s face and not leak. If you are prone to getting cold a good-fitting suit may be appropriate depending on water temperature.

Nitrox is a special enriched oxygen gas mix that helps reduce the risk or discomfort of decompression. It can help divers enjoy longer dives and avoid some of the time spent adjusting from the effects of compression.
Nitrox usage requires a special class and certification.
Nitrox is available for an additional charge.
Cancellations may occur for a variety of reasons. Please be considerate of others.
Guests are welcome to snorkel, enjoy swimming near the surface just off the boat, or stay on the boat.
