Cozumel Scuba Diving Tour Description (Night Dive)

World-class dives on legendary coral reefs and walls in Cozumel

Grab your underwater flashlight — live, from the reef, it’s Cozumel After Dark! Get ready for an evening of underwater action.

Live, from the reef, it’s Cozumel After Dark! Get ready for an evening of action — the kind of wild nightlife you won’t find at Señor Frog’s or Margaritaville.

This evening it’s a one-tank dive on a shallow reef: either Paradise, Chankanaab or Yucab.

Forty feet down it’s go-go-go on the reef. It’s a mad rush hour during the shift change…

The day crew is calling it quits. The night crew rolls out of bed hungry, eager to feed. The reef has switched into dark mode. And you’re there, with a front row seat, for an explosion of color and wild action everywhere you point your light.
If you’ve never done a night dive in Cozumel, this is the experience that a deserves a spot on your bucket list.

Cozumel Scuba Diving Tour Description (Twilight)

World-class dives on legendary coral reefs and walls in Cozumel

The twilight two-tank trip offers the best of two worlds – day and night. This is a unique opportunity to compare action on the reefs — before sundown and after. And you’ve got a front row seat.

The first tank is a relaxing afternoon dive. The second is a night dive on a shallow reef, either Paradise, Chankanaab or Yucab.

It’s Cozumel After Dark! Get ready for the kind of wild nightlife you won’t find at Señor Frog’s or Margaritaville.

On the bottom, count on explosions of color and action everywhere you point your light. The creatures of the night shift are out in the open, roaming the reef. King-size moray eels, lobsters and spider crabs. Clouds of iridescent squid and cuttlefish. Octopus dancing down the reef. For the local residents, it’s a frenzy of feed, fight or… mate.

At Dive Paradise, we entrust guests to the care of our certified, in-water divemasters. We provide one divemaster for each six divers, so groups remain small underwater.

Never a crowd with Dive Paradise… Count on us for spacious boats, with lots of elbow room to spread out. At night, our vessels are well lighted from stem to stern, including the wide dive platforms and boarding ladders.

After the last dive, we’ll drop you back at your hotel in time for a night on the town.

With the two-tank twilight trip, relax, kick back, feel safe…. At Dive Paradise, service is always friendly, personal, attentive — and professional.

Cozumel Scuba Diving Tour Description (Early AM)

World-class dives on legendary coral reefs and walls in Cozumel

The Cock-A-Doodle trip is a Cozumel trifecta of three world-class drift dives on three spectacular reefs.

You’ll have a unique opportunity to experience something special…. a daily phenomenon of nature that few divers get to witness first hand. To dive on a breathtaking reef at sunrise, where you’ll have a front row seat for the “changing of the guard.”

For the first dive, it’s a mad go-go-go scene on the coral reef, 60 feet down… Shift change on top of a crazy rush hour. It’s the bedlam and chaos of a traffic jam that’s barreling straight toward gridlock.

The night crew is retiring. The day shift is reporting for duty, and the reef switches into sunny mode. The morning crew rolls out of bed hungry to satisfy their animal instincts — it’s the daily frenzy of feed, fight or … mate.

There’s a blur of motion everywhere you look. A dizzying kaleidoscope of fish and sea life. A riot of color, wall-to-wall. The silent world of the reef is a deafening roar of visual cacophony. It’s full-tilt rush hour on the noisy urban street…

Back on the boat we realize that we’ve witnessed a phenomenon of nature – change of shift on the reef, from night to day. But our day is still young, and we eagerly anticipate our next two dives.
There’s never a crowd at Dive Paradise. We provide spacious boats, with lots of elbow room to spread out. And we entrust our guests to the care of certified, in-water divemasters — with one divemaster for each six divers. That way, groups remain small underwater.

On the boat we serve complimentary purified water.

Early to bed, early to rise…. is a great head start on a three-tank dive.

The Cock-A-Doodle is a Dive Paradise exclusive, available nowhere else on Cozumel.

So, relax, kick back, feel safe…. At Dive Paradise, service is always friendly, personal, attentive — and professional.
