Cozumel: A Dive Vacation Anyone Can Afford
July 3-10, 2010
Deadline for Sign-Ups Almost Here! Looking for value? It’s tough to beat Cozumel. With breathtaking walls, reefs and aquatic life the equal of any of the Caribbean’s top destinations, your money just plain goes further in Cozumel. The trip price of just $1,750/diver (double) includes round-trip air fare, accommodations, meals and diving — less than two-thirds what you’d pay at most comparable destinations. So if you thought you couldn’t afford a Caribbean dive vacation this year, think again.
Cozumel is the gem of the Mexican Caribbean located twelve miles off the southern coast of the Yucatan peninsula. Cozumel’s limestone shore is surrounded by temperate, crystal clear waters ranging from stunning turquoise to deep indigo. Take a short trip on the Ferry to the mainland for a day of shopping, dining, and sightseeing. Snorkelers and divers will not want to miss the famous Cenotes of the spectacular Dos Ojos Cave System.
Scuba Club Cozumel is one of the only dedicated dive resorts on the island of Cozumel. You enter through a Spanish-style arched entrance and step into another world. Tiled courtyards, splashing fountains and blue ocean set the scene for a week of total relaxation and stress-free diving.
The resort has 55 rooms tiered around two courtyards and the ocean. Many have private balconies or patios. Our package allows us to eat all our meals in the air-conditioned restaurant on site. Meals are served at times to accommodate the diving schedule. Below the restaurant is an open-air bar with a small gift shop nearby. Scuba Club Cozumel is also a place to come to relax. For the non-diving hours there are hammocks and beach chairs lining the shoreline with a fresh water pool on site.
The main focus of the resort is the dive operation. The Scuba Club Cozumel has one of the few on-site dive operations on the island. No need to lug gear, or wait on the dock for the boat to arrive. Boats for morning two-tank dives leave at 8:30 and return between 1:30 and 2:00 pm. The resort has several well-marked entrances for shore diving right off their beach. Night diving off the beach is a fabulous experience as well.

Diving in Cozumel is world class. Most all of the boat diving is drift diving in gentle currents along a wall — no need to kick or swim. Just relax and “go with the flow.” Walls are interspersed with channels, caverns, swim-through chutes and tunnels. The marine life is abundant — fish, coral, critters, pelagics — and the colors are vibrant. |
The town of San Miguel is a short walk to the north. It is a great place to do a little shopping, or relax with a cerveza at renowned haunts like Carlos and Charlie’s. And, because everything is within walking distance (or, at worst, a cheap taxi ride away), you don’t need a rental car — saving you even more.
Space on this trip is limited and the cut-off date for sign up is almost upon us; call or visit for more info.
