Cozumel: SeaTrek Helmet Dive & Beach Club Drinks

Summary

Walk the ocean floor in Cozumel and sip drinks by the sea after

You’ll walk on the ocean floor in Cozumel with a SeaTrek helmet dive—no swimming needed—guided by locals who point out marine life right under your nose. Afterward, relax at Jeanie’s Beach Club with two free drinks and use of snorkel gear until late afternoon. It’s oddly peaceful down there—and surprisingly easy to do.

What’s the experience like?

The first thing I noticed was how weirdly heavy the Sea Trek helmet felt on land—like I’d borrowed an astronaut’s head. But as soon as we stepped down into the water just off downtown Cozumel, it got lighter, almost floaty. Our guide, Miguel, grinned through his mask and gave us a thumbs up before leading us along the sandy bottom. Fish darted around my ankles—one nibbled my fin, which made me laugh and nearly lose my balance. You can actually hear yourself breathing in there, slow and echoey. It’s sort of calming.

I didn’t expect to feel so safe walking underwater (I can barely swim). The helmet kept my hair dry and I could see everything—coral fans waving, sunlight slicing through blue water. Miguel pointed out a tiny crab tucked under a rock and tried to get us to say its name in Spanish. I butchered it; he just shook his head and laughed. There were only six of us in our group, so it never felt crowded or rushed.

After we surfaced, there was this salty smell from the breeze and someone grilling something nearby at Jeanie’s Beach Club. We grabbed our free drinks (I went for something bright green—no idea what was in it) and just sat for a while watching other groups bobbing up and down in their helmets. They let you use snorkel gear for the rest of the day if you want—I did for about half an hour but honestly mostly just floated around thinking about that odd underwater quiet. If you’re looking for a day trip in Cozumel that doesn’t need any swimming skills, this is pretty much perfect. Still think about that feeling of walking where fish usually go.
