Two-Tank Morning Trip

Ort

Cozumel

Beschreibung

Our Two-Tank Trip is comfortable and relaxing. Our boats are spacious - Divers get lots of elbow room to spread out. We can accommodate up to 24 divers on many of our larger boats, but we strive for a maximum of 16 divers (except for special requests for group charters). Divemaster ratio is never more than 8 divers per Divemaster. All boats in our fleet are specially designed and outfitted for diving comfort, ease, safety, and convenience.

We do 'diver's choice' on our boats - meaning our divers decide where they would like to dive that day. (Occasionally, due to strong currents or weather, the boat crew may make the dive site choice with your safety in mind.)

Boats make their morning pick-up at 8:30am, at the Dive Paradise location at Cozumel Hotel & Resort, then head south for any additional pickup locations. You can expect to be back to your hotel between 1:00 and 2:00 p.m.

By prior arrangement, we can usually meet you at most hotels on our route, providing they have an accessible dock. Important note: Some hotels will assess you a fee for an outside operator to pick up from the dock. To avoid this assessment, you can come to Dive Paradise facilities at Cozumel Hotel and Resort or at Villablanca Beach for pick up.

We have complimentary snacks and water available during surface intervals. Please bring your own refillable water bottle to cut down on plastic waste and help us take care of our ocean and reefs. Dive Paradise refillable water bottles available for purchase in our retail shop as well!

Diving Certification Agency Safety Standards*

Divers must be "current" to qualify for boat diving:

• If a diver’s last dive was within the last 12 months, a daytime 'warm-up' shore dive is encouraged with a buddy or a Personal Divemaster prior to boat diving. No solo divers allowed for shore dives.

• If a diver’s last dive was 13 to 24 months ago, we require a Refresher course with an Instructor before any open water dive trip.

• If a diver’s last dive was more than 25 months ago, we require a Scuba Tune-up course with an Instructor before any open water dive trip.

Other requirements:

Junior Divers: We love sharing the sea with younger divers, but because of their shallower depth requirements, we require that divers under 15 hire a Personal Divemaster (can be shared by up to two divers) to adhere to their profile while other divers in the group may go deeper.

10-11 year-old divers are limited to 40 feet and must have a Personal Divemaster.

12-14 year-old divers are limited to 60 feet and must have a Personal Divemaster.

Snorkeling Companion: $57 USD per person + the shared $75 cost of a private Divemaster (one Divemaster for 1-8 snorkelers)

Bubble Watcher: $51 USD per person

* Why are the Check-out dives & Refresher courses required in these cases?

Our liability release states that divers must comply with basic safety rules and PADI standards of diving, which clearly state that a diver is required to keep "current." A diver who has not been diving within a year is NOT current by PADI standards. A diver who has not been diving in two or more years requires a Refresher Course.
We must verify that each diver's experience/health/fitness meet the standards for this specialty trip, both for operational efficiency and for everyone's safety.

Add-Ons

Personal Divemaster $75.00
Non-Diver "bubble watcher" Companion (min. 12 years old) $51.00
Snorkeler Companion $57.00
