Flying directly into Cozumel is always the easiest and most convenient. Check in at the hotel is 3pm April 14th. Check out will be April 19th at noon. Plan your flight accordingly. Flights in and out of Cancun tend to be cheaper. However, keep in mind that you will need to make the land journey down the peninsula and across the channel using the ferry system. Make sure your flight is not scheduled to leave prior to noon on April 19th if you would like to dive on the 18th. 2 morning boat dives are planned for the 18th. We are out of the water by noon to 1pm on the 18th. You need 24hours before flying.
No Hidden Charges!
Flights and Arrival
Decompression
As there are no usually no US bound flights leaving Cozumel before 1:30pm this decompression should not be an issue. Arrange your flight so that the departure time is no earlier than 12pm on April 19th.
Five Star Dive Resort
Built as Cozumel’s first dedicated diver’s resort, family friendly Scuba Club Cozumel sports its own dive shop and fleet of dive boats all just footsteps from your room. It also includes a Restaurant, full bar and pool. Designed and built — by divers for divers — to provide all services in one convenient place.
Money
It is suggested to guests to bring bills no larger than $20 for exchange into pesos. You will find $10, $5 & $1 bills useful for taxis and tipping. U.S. Dollars are fine to use on a daily basis in Cozumel. Hotel lobby has a safe.
Rental Gear?
It is always best to own and travel with your own gear. We never recommend renting gear for a trip like this. However, gear can be rented at Scuba Fusion for approximately $65 for the week. Scuba Club also rents gear for $175 for the week. Our package is cheaper and will be supported by staff on site. However, it must be brought with you. Masks, snorkels, fins, boots are not included and we do not rent them.

The group will travel from Cozumel to Tulum for one of the best diving experiences in the world today.

Their reliability and concern for our well being has been incomparable. No hidden charges all transportation fees and taxes are included in this add-on cost ($224).

A dive computer is an absolute priority purchase for this trip. Your instructors are not responsible for keeping track of nitrogen levels in your body. You may conduct or partake in multiple dives in a single day with different divers and different guides. Dive tables can be used but will limit the amount of dives as well as your bottom time. Many of the guides will not allow table users to partake in their tour groups.
