Scuba Diving with Blue Bubble Divers/Scuba Shack

Scuba Shack and Blue Bubble Divers combine to offer dive trips to Cozumel's renound coral reefs with range of services and attention. We offer the best dive service that you can find in Cozumel. We are a PADI Resort Member (# 16544) with all Divemasters and Dive instructors carrying current credentials. In our two locations (one downtown and one on the beach) we are ready to service any requests that you have. Our 6 diver boats allow you maximum amount of comfort while still diving in small groups. You don't have to fight for your space on the boat or the reef. The dive trips leave at 08:30 in the morning and 13:30 in the afternoon. All our trips feature two two dives. The first dive is usually to a depth of 80 feet (24 meters) on one of our pristine walls. Divers take a one-hour surface interval where soft-drinks, water, pastries and/or fruits are served. The second dive is on a different site to a depth of 30-60 feet (10-18 meter). The dive locations are always divers choice. The trip lasts about 4 - 4 1/2 hours. With two locations and multiple boats, we are able to pick-up divers right from their hotel pier.

Whale Shark Encounter (June 15 - Sept 15)

If you have not made plans to come and visit us during this time of the year, then you really need to consider it. The whale sharks are in the area and we have taken 4 trips over to the other side for some fantastic experiences and interactions with these magnificent creatures. One day, we swam for 30 minutes with a 35 foot shark. And they just go by, like there is not a care in the world. It is quite amusing the first time that someone gets in the water and sees it. Every single person, without exception, jumps in, starts to swim to the animal, and then you can hear them scream through their snorkel. Rodney and Melanie were by far the loudest screamers! We have tons of pictures to show people and it is well worth the money, even if it is a bit pricey. The price is $175 US per person everything included. We meet at the ferry pier in Cozumel, take the ferry over to Playa del Carmen. We have a van take the groups from Playa to Cancun, where we have to catch another ferry to Isla Mujeres. Once there, we meet the boat, and are on board for about 6 hours or so. we have soft drinks and water available through out the trip, as well as a box lunch. Once we return from our adventure to Isla Mujeres, we stop and have lunch, and then catch the ferry and the van and the ferry back to Cozumel. The entire trips takes about 12 - 13 hours. So we leave either on the 5 or 7 am ferry, and we return to Cozumel on the 5 or the 7 pm ferry. If you are flying in to Cancun, then I would suggest that you add this trip on for the last day of your stay. That way you can just stay over in Isla Mujeres the last night and from there go directly to the Cancun airport. This also reduces the price of the trip, and we can also make arrangementsfor a hotel in Isla Mujeres. Anyone who is interested in seeing the pictures, please E-mail us and we ill send them. Please request either the short E-mail with 3 pictures or the longer one where we can E-mail you some more. This is an experience not to be missed!

Cenote and Cave Diving Guide

The Yucatan area of Mexico is laced with a system of freshwater caves opening to the surface and the ocean. The surface freshwater pools forming these cave openings are known as cenotes (see-note-tays). Cozumel offers it's own cenotes as well as the mainland. Diving cenotes is very different from the dives on the coral reefs. The freshwater in the cenotes is cold- in the 65 degree F range- requiring thicker thermal protection than the ocean. Open Water divers are urged never to venture into any cave, but to stay in areas with clear overhead exits. Tanks, weights and guide materials are available from Scuba Shack or Blue Bubble Divers offices.
