Cozumel Scuba School is the Best Place to Earn Your PADI or SSI Scuba Diving Certification!
In the original Mayan, the word Cozumel means Island of the Swallows. Located just a short ferry ride off the Eastern Coast of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, directly across from Playa del Carmen—Cozumel sits like an Emerald jewel against the incredibly azure blue background of the Caribbean Sea. Only 11 miles wide, and 32 miles long—it is by far the most populated Mexican island.
COZUMEL, MEXICO
Cozumel Scuba School is located in the Mexican Caribbean, just a short 45-minute ferry ride across the incredible azure blue waters separating the mainland from the incredibly beautiful Island of Swallows.
Since the famous underwater explorer Captain Jacques Cousteau came to Cozumel in the 1960s and was introduced to the beauty of Palancar Reef by locals, the island has enjoyed a steady growth of visitors creating a bustling tourism community largely centered on scuba diving.
For decades, scuba divers, free divers, spear fisherman, and others who love the sea have flocked to Cozumel's incredibly warm, crystal clear waters to enjoy amazing coral formations and the plentiful marine life.
What's amazing is, these coral reefs are protected from the open ocean by the island’s natural geography. It's very unique to other diving locations, so in an effort to preserve and conserve the area for future generations to come, the Mexican government established the Cozumel Reefs National Marine Park. Neither visitors nor locals are allowed to touch or removing any marine life within the park boundaries—making the area the envy of the diving world.
The main town on the island is San Miguel de Cozumel, and that's where you'll probably arrive by ferry or airplane. It's also where you'll stay when you come to dive with us, as our dive housing is located within the city limits.
Cozumel Scuba School's dorm-style / hostel accommodation is within walking distance to the town center (Centro), grocery stores, restaurants, night life, a movie theater, churches and synagogues, multiple gyms, and just about every other amenity you may want.
Travelers are required to have a valid Passport issued by their home country (including US Nationals) and a Forma Migratoria Múltiple (FMM), also known as a tourist card to enter the country. The FMM is a form that declares the traveler’s stated purpose of visit as tourism, and is valid for 180 days. International air travelers should receive their FMM during their flight and the fee is already included in the price of the flight.
