Hotel rooms have tile floors, bathrooms and showers, air conditioners, dorm-size refrigerators, and balconies or patios. Many have an ocean view. Balconies/patios have rods to hang your wetsuits or other dive gear. Mid-week, the hotel usually hosts a Fiesta Night where the food is prepared and served outdoors in the sand between the restaurant and the water. Afterward, guests are invited to have a go at a Piņata! Free Wi-Fi is available in and around the cafeteria/restaurant so bring your laptops if you wish.
There is unlimited shore diving, but reserve your night-dive tanks before the dive shop closes! Equipment storage lockers are provided adjacent to the dive shop and below the swimming pool. They're large enough to hold a tank or two along with your equipment. Bring your own padlock. The shore diving in front of the resort is easy entry, with a stairway along the inner side of the breakwater and a swim-through to open water. Just remember to check the current before entering the water! This is the ultimate island for drift diving. Nitrox is available for an extra fee.
Wednesday will be a non-dive day. Free shore diving is available that day or for an extra fee, you can sign up for additional boat dives or do an afternoon wreck dive (a minimum number of divers is required).
Boat Dives: The group will be assigned to a boat (or boats) and crew, including dive masters, for the entire time of your stay. The boat trips leave just after breakfast and return in time for lunch. Afternoons are free for shore diving, touring the island or the town (after siesta, of course!), sightseeing or snoozing in the ocean-side hammocks under the palapas.
Other Activities: Tour the botanical gardens or take your snorkeling gear for a splash with the dolphins in Chankanaab Park. There are Mayan ruins on the island and more on the mainland. Just rent a scooter and tour the island. It's fairly cheap. If the scooter doesn't appeal to you, buggies and jeeps can be rented instead. A visit to Carlos and Charlie's, Seņor Frogs and Coconuts is always worth a laugh or two but be careful... cameras are everywhere!
If there is enough interest, the hotel can arrange for a group to dive Mexico's world famous cenotes (sinkholes, cavern diving) either on the island or the mainland. This is a fresh water dive. The only certification you need to dive the cenotes is Open Water Diver. Diving the cenotes is easy, exciting and a dive you will remember for a lifetime! The price for this is not included in the price posted for this trip. Diving the mainland cenotes involves taking the ferry over to the mainland, a truck/car ride to the cenotes and a return trip by ferry. Figure on making a fairly long day of it.
Cozumel is also a great setting to continue your diving education. You can sign up for Advanced Open Water or specialty courses such as Drift, Deep, and Night Diver to name a few. Check with trip leaders Bill or Mike for availability and so they can perhaps get any classroom time taken care of before leaving on the trip.
Call today to reserve your place on the dive adventure that you'll never forget or rejoin the group if you've already been!
