How To Save Money With Cozumel Scuba Diving Packages

By Mattie MacDonald


Trips to the best dive sites in the world can cost a lot. Diving is not the cheapest of activities in the first place but when you add in the cost of special passes, equipment hire and travel, the most popular places can get away with charging a fortune. The Caribbean has some fabulous islands which offer incredible diving opportunities and some are quite reasonable. Cozumel scuba diving packages can save you money and you will have piece of mind to relax and enjoy the experience.

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.

Less experienced divers will be able to enjoy a variety of locations such as the Palancar Garden, a shallow reef with exciting fissures and black coral. It is perfect for photography with bright corals, tubes, fish and plenty of light. There is also some great shore diving to see octopus, huge shellfish and shoals of reef fish.

Accommodation in Cozumel is varied and can cater for all budgets and preferences. There are a few hundred hotels and apartment complexes. Some are all inclusive which means all meals and drinks are included in the price, scuba can be added on to these trips. This means a traveler knows exactly how much will be spent on a vacation before they leave home.

Scuba is not the only activity in Cozumel. It is possible to enjoy the reefs and marine life without getting wet by taking a submarine trip. There is also some great shopping with imported goods from all over the Caribbean. Car hire is reasonable and the island is small so you could explore at your own pace. There are Mayan ruins, deserted beaches, national parks and a hundreds of restaurants to see. Fans of fishing will also enjoy a deep sea trip.

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.
