Diving in Cozumel: 2 certified dives in the marine park

The dive center is inside the marine park itself, not a boat ride away from it.

A 2-tank scuba dive in Cozumel's National Marine Park for certified divers, departing from the Allegro Cozumel resort dive center. You need a minimum PADI Open Water certification or equivalent. The guide, tanks, weights and boat are included. Marine park fees apply and may be charged separately at checkout.

The experience

What makes this dive different is the location: the dive center sits inside the National Marine Park of Cozumel itself, so you skip the usual boat ride out and go straight to the reef. You'll complete two dives over roughly four hours, with a professional guide leading both. The guide speaks English or Spanish, and the boat, tanks and weights are all part of the package. You bring your certification card and your own experience.

Before you enter the water, you'll fill out a health questionnaire. The dive center takes medical history seriously: some conditions like asthma or heart issues may disqualify you, so check the operator's medical policy if you have any concerns. Your last dive needs to be within the past 12 months. If it's been longer, a refresher course can be arranged for an extra fee. You also can't dive within 24 hours of flying, so plan your arrival day accordingly.

The minimum age is 12, and you'll need at least a moderate level of fitness. This is a working dive, not a leisurely float. If you need equipment rental beyond the tanks and weights (wetsuit, BCD, regulator), that runs USD 42 extra. Transportation from the ferry terminal or cruise ship terminal isn't included, so arrange that separately or ask the resort for directions when you book.
