Cozumel has some of the best dive sites in the world. They are unique and teeming with marine life. There are lots of great value Cozumel scuba diving packages to be found so that experiencing top quality Caribbean diving does not have to break the bank. The island has a range of accommodation to suit all budgets.

There are lots of reasons to take a vacation in Cozumel. It has incredible beaches, unique diving sites, great accommodation, historic attractions, restaurants galore, fishing and wonderful wildlife. Scuba is not the only way to experience the wonder of the underwater world as there is a submarine which takes passengers on a fabulous ride through the caverns and over the reefs. There is something for everyone.

A quick glance down a list of Cozumel dive sites indicates the variety of experience available to the experienced and inexperienced diver. Most dives are drift as the currents flow around the island. There are reefs, walls, wrecks of both ships and planes and some of the largest caverns in the world. Several sites are shallow so perfect for snorkeling and new divers. These places are also incredible for macro photography as the water is brightly lit.

The dive sites include some of the largest caverns in the world. Obviously divers wanting to visit these places must have the correct qualifications. There are courses available on site but it is a good idea to check how many hours of diving necessary to take the appropriate certification. Drift diving is the order of the day as currents swirl around the island. They are generally quite gentle providing a relaxing experience floating by walls and over reefs.

Two species of turtle use the beaches of the east coast for nesting but this does not affect diving. The hotels and towns are largely situated in the west but tours are available to see the eggs hatching. The nesting seasons run from April to July for the Loggerheads and from June to September for Green Turtles. Of course lots of turtles can be seen swimming around by divers and those snorkeling.

All inclusive resorts are a great way to enjoy a vacation. There is something indulgent about never having to worry about whether to have that next drink. Cozumel has some lovely resorts with multiple restaurants and their own dive schools. If that does not appeal there are also budget hostels, hotels and luxury apartments and waterside villas.

It is possible to take a vacation on the island all year round. The weather does not vary much and has a high level of rainfall. December to February are the coolest months but still have average temperatures in the early seventies. High season is December to April and prices are always higher at Christmas and Easter.

It is possible to travel independently but the best way to save money on a scuba vacation is to book an inclusive package. Travel, accommodation, diving and even food and drink can all be included. It is possible to save money and know exactly how much the trip will cost.
