About this experience

Your first dive assisted by certified instructors, no prior course required.

You don’t need a certification or any previous experience breathing from a tank. We start in shallow, standing water to practice the three skills that truly matter: breathing calmly, equalizing your ears, and clearing your mask. Only when you say you’re ready will we head to the reef, reaching a maximum of 12 meters, with one instructor for every two students and no artificial time limits. This ratio is the key to our tour: you will never be alone, and you will never be rushed. Many people leave the water asking how much the full certification course costs.
Perfect for beginners and families, this package offers the best way to experience Cozumel’s marine life, lush surroundings, and relaxed beach vibes—all in one!

  • Ma première plongée, jamais oubliée

    J’avais très peur de descendre et l’instructeur a pris le temps de tout m’expliquer en surface, sans jamais me presser. Une fois en bas, tout est devenu évident : le silence, les couleurs, les poissons qui passent à quelques centimètres du masque. Je suis remontée…
