How To Save Money With Cozumel Scuba Diving Packages

By Mattie MacDonald


Cozumel has some of the best dive sites in the world. They are unique and teeming with marine life. There are lots of great value Cozumel scuba diving packages to be found so that experiencing top quality Caribbean diving does not have to break the bank. The island has a range of accommodation to suit all budgets.

The reason this place has such unique scuba opportunities is geology. The island sits on a bed of ancient limestone which over millennia was carved up by glaciers and rivers. These caves and canyons are now under the sea and ripe for exploration.

Bargains can be picked up any time of year apart from Easter and Christmas when travelling anywhere tends to cost more. An all inclusive package can be the best option as it means you know exactly how much you are going to spend. These resorts include the cost of food and drink so you can indulge and have a good time after your dive.

The dive sites include some of the largest caverns in the world. Obviously divers wanting to visit these places must have the correct qualifications. There are courses available on site but it is a good idea to check how many hours of diving necessary to take the appropriate certification. Drift diving is the order of the day as currents swirl around the island. They are generally quite gentle providing a relaxing experience floating by walls and over reefs.

There are lots of other activities available to pass the time. Hiring cars or motorbikes is a great way to see the Mayan ruins, visit the uninhabited beaches of the east coast and see the national parks. There is a unique submarine where tourists can visit the caverns and reefs without getting wet. Fishing is also a popular activity with plenty of deep sea fishing excursions available. Near to the cruise ship docks there are lots of shops selling high end imported goods such as Cuban cigars. Foodies will also enjoy the variety of restaurants from shacks selling the freshest seafood to modern Mexican cuisine.

Experienced divers will find all kinds of experiences around the island. The caverns provide a test fro even the most technical diver. There are also deep reefs, shipwrecks, plane wrecks, drop-offs and tunnels. Make sure to check with your tour operator before you leave that you have the correct certifications for the sites you want to see.

It is possible to take a vacation on the island all year round. The weather does not vary much and has a high level of rainfall. December to February are the coolest months but still have average temperatures in the early seventies. High season is December to April and prices are always higher at Christmas and Easter.

Diving in the Caribbean is on every divers bucket list. The crystal clear waters and incredible marine wildlife are world class. In Cozumel this is made even better by the unique topography of the area with its caverns and underwater canyons. There is nowhere else like it.
