Plan the Dive Trip, Not Just the Dives
Cozumel is famous for drift diving, clear water and reef systems, but a smooth first trip comes down to a few practical choices before you arrive.
Bring your certification details, be candid about recent experience, ask whether a refresher is appropriate, understand marine-park procedures, and confirm tanks, rental gear, departure point and pickup. Leave enough time in the trip for weather or schedule changes.
Todd & Cheryl's Tip
When you contact a dive operator, tell them where you're staying and ask about the exact boarding point. A convenient pier pickup can make a multi-day dive trip noticeably easier.
