Dive Into Cozumel ? Relax & Rejuvenate

At some point or another, most of us seem to get pushed to the hilt from the stress of everyday life.  When we do, the remedy is sometimes a vacation to a destination where we can really relax and recharge our bodies and minds; a place with an environment conducive to washing away our worries.

Cozumel is the first place that comes to my mind.  It’s a small island, 280 square miles, just east of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula.  Although it’s only 12 miles off the coast and a short ferry ride from the mainland, it conveys a sense of remoteness.  It’s a laid-back island with friendly people where life moves slowly.  You won’t see any tall buildings or interstate highways there.  But you will notice lots of mopeds.

Cozumel is flat and covered in low tropical forest.  The island has some dazzling white beaches fronting the azure-colored Caribbean Sea.  However, most of Cozumel’s coast is not fringed by beaches.  The water off the west coast is extremely calm because the island is protected by a series of reefs.  Conversely, the east side, which faces the ocean, gets hit by strong winds and rough surf, making swimming unsafe.  Consequently, all hotels and resorts are on the island’s west side.

San Miguel, on the west coast, is Cozumel’s only town, and unremarkable would be an apt descriptor.  While San Miguel is pretty much pedestrian, the locale does have numerous restaurants and shops.  If you arrive by ferry from the mainland, be prepared for the onslaught of salespeople from various dive and snorkel operations.

Aside from being a perfect place to kick back and relax, Cozumel has a couple of other attributes.  The island is a popular port-of-call for cruise lines.  As a result, side-by-side jewelry stores, duty-free shops and souvenir stands have sprung up by San Miguel’s waterfront.  Most cruise passengers linger there while some venture as far as the main square.

Cozumel, in addition to being a refuge from stress, is considered the #1 dive destination in the Western Hemisphere.  The reefs off the western coast are of course the reason for this.  The southwestern edge offers the island’s best diving since its reefs are extra tall.  Cozumel accommodates non-divers also with other water sports and seaside activities.  The catalyst for Cozumel’s popularity as a dive haven was explorer Jacques Cousteau, who declared the shoreline to be “one of the most incredible diving destinations in the world.”

Cozumel away from San Miguel and the resorts is also worth seeing.  Local travel agencies arrange island tours and ruins tours.  They also organize boat trips on the beautiful waters of the Caribbean.  You can enjoy an evening cruise, cocktail cruise or a glass-bottom boat cruise.  The Atlantis Submarine tour is unique; you will fully submerge in a real submarine to 100 feet below the water surface.  You’ll see the wonders of underwater Cozumel through clear plastic windows.

GoRoddy.Net offers a variety of options for booking your Cozumel vacation.  An option that provides peace-of-mind is to use a vacation packager.  From our homepage, click on Vacations; then click on Apple Vacations and fill in your search.  You can also search our main booking engine under Your Travel Search.  For the best deals, click on “Flight + Hotel.”  You’ll be surprised at the low cost of a dream vacation to Cozumel.

The Best Scuba Diving in Cozumel

There are lots of great dive sites in the Caribbean, but to make it to the top of the list? We will give our opinion. We have done a lot of diving in the Caribbean, but these sites are those that still remember and compare all other dives to.

Our list: *

Naufragio of Chikuzen, Tortola, British Virgin Islands

I loved this site. Was (and remains) the best wreck dive we have done. The sinking of the

Chikuzen is out of this final 12 miles NW Tortola and Virgin Gorda. This site is dependent on the time it may or may not be able to leave. Fortunately, the weather cooperated and we were able to dive the wreck (which were on Virgin Gorda). When descends

mooring line to wait for the other divers, we went directly to a school of barracuda. Now I’m used to seeing a lone barracuda, or a few together, but there must be at least a hundred of them. And this was only in the bottom of the mooring line. That got better from there. Definitely one of our biggest dive ever in the Caribbean.

We saw black tip sharks, rays of the lots, horse-eye jacks, pompano, spadefish and more. This is the place to come if you like big fish and lots of fish. And to top it all off, we heard the song of whales at the end of the dive. And we have not even mentioned the wreck. How could it not be one of our best dives? *

Pidgeon, Bequia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines

This is often a surprise (and for us too, because the rest of the dive we did in Bequia was good but not spectacular). However, this was wonderful diving. It was my husband, myself and the divemaster (there is a lot better than diving).

The water is crystal clear and the sun was shining on the coral, making the colors brighter. There was a slight current so that it could drift along the reef with a little kick. Lots of marine life to observe.

I remember thinking, “This is why immersion.” It was just a great and easy on the holiday. Definitely one of the top dives we have done.

* Name unknown, Bimini, Bahamas

know, sorry – but you will be able to find it. We went to Bimini from Florida in a boat and the boat dove instead of a dive shop. We’re tethered to a mooring buoy while we have done. Then jumped in. That was the beginning of a fun drift dive.

We were flying! The coral formations and beautiful as it is a beautiful, sunny day, the colors were bright. Since the current was strong, we could not fail to consider many things, but it was fine. It’s a hell of a fun dive.

Along the way, we saw a plaque dedicated under someone had died. Therefore, the mooring buoy and the plate, one of the local dive shops, or will be able to say that we (my brother in law of the GPS broke so lost the coordinates). The next time you go to Bimini, we find again and I will publish the update.

* Horseshoe, Cozumel, Mexico Cozumel

is almost a mecca for divers and was there several times. You will find lots of great dive sites of Cozumel, but outside it is highlighted and is one of my favorites.

This site has incredible formations with tunnels in and around the formations. We’ve seen a lot of marine life including eels, sharks, barracuda, just to name a few. A cool dive and definitely on the top diving in Cozumel.

So there you have it. Our list of 4 of the best dives we have done. If these dive sites, we hope you enjoy as much as we did. To read about our favorite all-time top diving in the Caribbean, No. 1 on our list, please visit our website.
