We are open Monday to Sunday between 8 am to 5 pm.

If you have a bank account in Mexico, Canada or Poland, we can also accept payments to our accounts in these countries. If you want to make a bank transfer from a different country to any of the above, you will need to cover any international transfer fees. Please note that sometimes it might be difficult to establish the amount of these fees. For deposits we prefer PayPal. Bank transfers from Mexico or Poland are accepted if they are sent with a minimum of 5 business days advance. For Canadian INTERAC transfers we allow 2 business days. Any deposit in cash must be paid a minimum of 2 days before the activity.

PayPal does not automatically increase the amount you’re paying by 5%. You will have to add it before you send the transaction. For example, if the deposit is USD 50, the amount to be sent is USD 52.50 (USD 50 + 5%).

We are open 364 days per year. The only day we are closed is Jan 1st.

Free street parking is available in front of our school building and on the streets around the block. The parking space might be limited on business days as we have a tax office close by.

We do not offer discounts on fun dives to students of our recreational courses. If you’ve completed or are on a professional course with us (Divemaster, Instructor, Staff Instructor), you may benefit from discounted rates for boat and shore diving. Our boat diving gets cheaper if you book dive trips in a package. Some of our courses might be offered in combo options at reduced prices (e.g. OWD + AOWD, EFR + Rescue Diver, Deep + Wreck).

Yes, all taxes and fees are included in our prices.

We offer recreational courses from the beginner level of Scuba Diver and Open Water Diver, to Advanced & Rescue Diver, to various Specialties. We offer Discover Scuba Diving experience to non-divers, as well as ReActivate & Refresher courses to divers who have not been diving for some time. We also teach professional courses of Divemaster, Instructor and Staff Instructor. You can also get your Emergency First Responder certificate with us and sign up for our Tec Diving courses.

Our busiest season starts in November and stretches towards Easter. If you want to come diving with us then, we would recommend confirming your booking at least 3-4 weeks in advance. From April till October, 1-2 weeks advance booking should be enough. Having said that, we might have last minute openings in the high season and we might get fully booked for the whole month in the low season. We do not take any bookings less than 24 hours before the activity.

We teach and guide primarily in English. Courses in other languages (Spanish, German, French, Swedish, Polish, Dutch, Portuguese) are subject to instructors/guides availability and might involve an extra fee.

We observe PADI ratios in terms of student limits and age restrictions for all our courses. Our students per instructor limit on Open Water Diver courses is 4:1. If there are more students in the group (5-8), we add a certified assistant/another instructor or we split the group in two. For Advanced classes we might increase the ratio of students to instructors to 6:1, depending on students experience and type of dives. Our Discover Scuba Diving experience ratio is max 3 participants to 1 instructor, with certified assistants added whenever there are more participants (max. 4 adult participants per group with one instructor).

Yes, if you are a group of 2 or more we can make your course private for an extra cost of USD 20/day per person. If you would like 1:1 training we can also offer that for an extra cost of USD 35/day.

We do not provide pick ups and drop offs at hotels. Passenger transport on Cozumel is monopolized by TAXI drivers. We can provide transportation from our school to the marina/shore dive site and back to our school. If you’ve been diving with us and we have your gear set already assembled, we can meet you at Tiki Beach/Sand Dollar Sports Bar or at the marina at an agreed time.

All our courses include standard scuba gear rental, wetsuits being no exception. We have 3 mm shorties for warmer months (April/May - November/December) and 3 mm and 5 mm full suits for colder weather (usually December - April).

If you are a certified diver with a recent history of diving, you may join your relatives during their boat trip day at a standard fun dive trip cost. You may also join them on their shore dives and complete 1 or 2 dives with them. On any of these occasions you will be following their course flow and will have to wait for them to complete all the required skills. Any of the above must be booked in advance. Additional cost may apply if you prefer to have a private guide on any of such shore/boat dives.

‘Discover Scuba Diving’ is a great way to start your scuba diving adventure and see if you like breathing underwater. We offer a discount of USD 40 on the Open Water Diver course price if you sign up for it shortly (max. 10 days) after your successful DSD experience. In such a case, we will do our best to add you to the first available course after your DSD experience. As our schedule gets very busy, we would prefer to know in advance if you are considering signing up for an Open water Diver course. Make sure you’ve read and understood the prerequisites and requirements of the Open Water Diver course.

+10 years may mean a long break for divers at Open Water Diver or even at Advanced level with a humble dive experience. If you don’t have many logged dives, have had a long break from scuba diving and feel rather unsure about your diving skills, we would strongly recommend retaking the Open Water Diver course. If you feel like your dive skills and theory are a bit rusty but you had logged a bunch of dives in the past, you may consider our ReActivate course. It includes eLearning that should be completed before the course, a practical session in the pool and one single tank shore dive that should put you at ease with your dive skills. If you are a diver with little experience and with a relatively short break from diving, but still remember most of the theory, we suggest you take our Refresher course (no eLearning, a practical refresher of the basic skills in the pool and one single tank shore dive) to fully enjoy your subsequent dives. Finally, if you are a diver with an extensive dive experience, a relatively short break from scuba and you feel rather strong about your dive skills, we will not require any Refresher/ReActivate course.

Anything you're comfortable in. For men: speedo, trunks or shorts are fine. Keep in mind you might have a wetsuit on top, so nothing too bulky. For women: we recommend a one piece swimsuit rather than a bikini just because they usually have knots that might get uncomfortable with a wetsuit on top.

We have 12 dorm beds, divided in 3 bedrooms: 2 bunk beds in each room. We also have 3 private studios and one apartment with 2 bedrooms.
