Scuba Diving in Cozumel

[teamd]

Howdy!

I am very new to this community, I have so far found tons of great info, and trying to do my part to contribute back!

But I have questions

Myself and my girlfriend Anna will be traveling to Cozumel as part of out Cruise on RCI, Independence of the Seas. I have a two part question.

First question is about this whole Ship time and Local time thing, our itinerary say we Arrive Cozumel at 10:00 AM August 28th 2015 (Friday) and Depart 7:00 PM.

I ask this question cause a lot of the diving trips I have looked up online thru shore excursion companies say they start at 9AM, well that does not work since we don’t get there until 10am as disclosed by the itinerary.

Next question is does anyone have a recommendation to an excursion company that does diving in Cozumel. I would prefer to go with a outside company cause the price is dramatically cheaper than the cruise line.

I appreciate your patience in advance

 

Thanks

You would do better asking this in the scuba and snorkeling forum.

Good idea I will try that too!

Think I answered you in the other forum, but for anyone who searches this board, I'll leave it here to.

 

We have had great experiences with Scuba with Alison. She accomodates cruise ship arrival times without a problem.

I contacted here and she was very quick to respond, but was not available in August

This is what she said

 

Thanks for checking with me. Sorry but we are pulling the boat out of the

water the last 2 weeks of August for some repairs to the hull.

 

Have a fantastic time here in Cozumel and please keep us in mind for your

future trips.

 

Gracias,

Alison

Aww, bummer. She has an awesome boat- guess they have to fix 'em up some time.

 

Hope you find a great op. (With all the competition down there, I'm pretty sure the ones that survive are all good.)

I recommend Dive Paradise. I use them every time I go to Cozumel.

 

Cheers, P:)
