Generally we would recommend not bringing unnecessary items on the boat (particularly anything that that you would not want to get wet), but certainly a small bag of essential items is possible.


As long as the boat is not full that day, they are welcome to come along for $30.

The water temperature ranges between 77 and 78 degrees Fahrenheit in the winter months (Dec, Jan, Feb); 78 to 80 degrees in the Spring (March through May) and warm up to 82 – 86 degrees in the summer months.
Exposure protection is really determined by your tolerance and is based on your tendency to chill. Keep in mind that if you will be doing multiple dives over multiple days, you will probably become less tolerant of cold as the week progresses.  A good all- around suit for Cozumel is a full 3 mm.

All of our dives are tailored to meet the desires and objectives of our divers. However, a typical day with us would be a wall dive to a depth of 70-80 feet, multi-level profile, with the bottom time determined by your air consumption and dive computer. The second dive is typically a shallower dive between 40 and 60 feet. Our average bottom times range between 60 and 70 Minutes.

Our twin-engine boats, Kailani 32′ and Leilani 35′, set the bar in Cozumel.  They are the best boats around, custom-designed, spacious, comfortable and fast. We limit our dive groups to 8 divers on each boat and there are always 2 Divemasters. That means we keep a ratio of 4 divers per divemaster because we believe in personal service. No other company offers this ratio in Cozumel.

Cozumel has a wide variety of marine life including turtles; spotted eagle rays; nurse sharks; schools of snappers, grunts, and triggerfish; barracudas; seahorses; and Cozumel’s endemic Splendid Toadfish. You will drift along walls of coral with plentiful sponges as you fly out over the abyss. Each site will be different every time you dive.

We strongly recommend that you book your diving in advance, as we tend to fill up fast, especially during high season. In order to maintain our high level of personalized service, and provide our divers with the best experience possible, we limit the number of divers in our groups.

Dive sites  are chosen each day based on our guests’ preferences and skills. If you have a particular reef you’d like to visit, let us know and we will do our best to get you there. It mostly depends on what our divers want to do and where they may have already been. Weather (currents, wind and visibility) and timing can also be a factor in deciding but we try to get our divers where they want to go whenever possible.

Cozumel is great all year around! The quietest time here would be during our wet season, September through November. January through April is our high season. Summer is the hottest time, from July through September. The great thing about Cozumel underwater is always good! We always have great visibility (100ft+), plenty of action, and warm water. Winters are generally the driest time, but the island does experience the occasional Norte, bringing with it blustery winds. They are infrequent and short lived.

Cozumel is a diver’s dream! Located on the world’s second longest barrier reef system, the island is home to an incredible variety of underwater adventures from wall diving to drift diving, wrecks, swim throughs, coral formations, and caves; there is something for every one.

Yes, we are! Visit KAYAK Cozumel Guide here: https://www.kayak.es/Cozumel.30813.guide
