Eco Divers is a small operation that specializes in customer-tailored service. Opened in 1995, it was the first
dive shop in Cozumel to promote ecology diving. As a first point of contact for many visitors to the island, we
feel a particular responsibility for helping divers to understand the fragility of the coral reef ecosystem. Our
staff will provide you with ample information regarding this special environment so that you may better
appreciate how to care for it while enjoying the many pleasures it has to offer. Eco Divers - Cozumel

Our Captains
Captain Mariano (with Tara II) and Benjamin (with Raquelita)
In keeping with our goal of protecting the reef while providing
an enjoyable experience for our clients, we offer personalized
excursions with small groups. We generally take no more than
six to eight divers per trip so that we may manage dives safely
and provide each individual with an ecologically sound adventure.
Our trips include fast boats, weights, soda & purified water, visits
to two different diving sites, & a bilingual, PADI-certified divemaster
with a helpful crew. We hope you will join us soon.

Are you ready for an ecological diving encounter in beautiful Cozumel?
If so, Eco Divers has two kinds of training that provide non-certified divers
with the skills and confidence necessary to enjoy our island's many pleasures:
"Discover SCUBA" and "Full PADI or SSI Certification".
We also have more advanced training for certified divers.
|
 |
|
For each program listed below we take you to beautiful diving sites such as Palancar, Paradise, and San Francisco Reefs.
Where you can see an array of Caribbean aquatic life and colorful coral. We also provide you with an orientation to Cozumel's
special and protected coral reef ecosystem, so that you may better appreciate how to care for it while enjoying all the many
wonders of the reefs.

DISCOVER SCUBA AT THE BEACH
In our "Discover SCUBA" program, you are taught slowly
and gently the basic diving techniques that are needed to
visit the underwater environment. From the beach, skills
are learned and practiced on your knees at a depth that
allows you to stand and reach the surface. You then dive
to a shallow reef to enjoy the spectacular beauty of the
undersea world. The training takes about 3 hours & occurs
under the direct supervision of a PADI instructor.
The rate for our "Discover SCUBA at the Beach" program
is 70 US$ (including equipment).
|
|
DISCOVER SCUBA BY BOAT
If you have some experience with SCUBA but are not
certified, we can offer you a diving course that allows
you to experience drift diving Cozumel-style, under the
direct supervision of a PADI-certified instructor. We first
take you to a shallow area where you snorkel and learn
basic SCUBA skills. Then you perform a 40 foot dive at a
coral reef that is only accessible by boat. The time schedule
for this program coincides with those for dive tours. The rate
for our "Discover SCUBA by Boat" program is 92 US$
(including equipment).
