Detailed Scuba Dive Trip Itinerary

Welcome aboard, friends, for your afternoon express two-tank trip! We’ll make two drift dives today.

The boat departs between 1:30 and 2:00pm. After the second dive, we head home. Most afternoon express trips return around 5:30pm.

At Dive Paradise, we entrust guests to the care of our certified, in-water Divemasters. Their goal is to guide you on safe, pleasurable dives along the reefs in the national marine park.

So welcome aboard for your afternoon express 2-tank trip! Relax, kick back, feel safe. At Dive Paradise, service is always friendly, personal, attentive — and professional.

Dive Paradise boasts the largest fleet of safe, fast boats in Cozumel. And we offer the widest selection of express trips on the island. It’s a menu of reefs, departure times and special trips that’s unmatched by other operators.

Dive Paradise in Cozumel

At Dive Paradise our fleet includes a special generation of express boats: each solid, stable, wide of beam, roomy and comfortable. Our fast boats are each perfectly adapted for drift diving Cozumel in small, intimate groups.

Other dive operators may sacrifice safety and comfort on the altar of speed. But at Dive Paradise we never compromise. With our impressive express boats, speed, comfort and safety all go hand in hand. Count on us for fast boats with lots of “elbow room.”

We need a minimum of four divers to offer this trip. If we don’t fill this minimum, you may: cover the cost of the vacant diver spots, reschedule, arrange a rain check for same dive, or request a refund.

Small groups

Many of our fast boats accommodate up to ten divers.  We provide one Divemaster for each eight divers on these Express Trips. If a group exceeds eight, we split it in two and send an extra Divemaster. That way, we keep groups small underwater.

Safety is Number One

Your safety remains our number one priority at Dive Paradise. So we emphasize conservative dive profiles. We recommend a dive computer — BYO (bring your own) or rent from Dive Paradise.

How do you select dive sites?

It’s “divers’ choice” — Divemasters present options and look for a friendly consensus. When necessary, the crew may select the dive sites, in consideration of safety factors such as strong currents or weather.

Staying at a resort that is not affiliated with Dive Paradise?

Some resorts outside our network may charge for pick-ups at their docks. Before you make your hotel reservations, please check with Dive Paradise; our concierge or reservations department can provide up-to-the-minute information on pick-up locations.

Driving a rental car?

Consider departing from the Dive Paradise location at Cozumel Hotel & Resort.

Diving from a fast boat is different than diving from a big “Caribbean” boat. How so?

Express trips cater to more experienced divers. Everything happens at a quicker rhythm, so it pays to think two or three steps ahead. A little preparation goes a long way

Express boats have sturdy portable ladders instead of dive platforms. To drop into the water, divers use a backward roll, over the side. The crew hangs the ladder on the side of the boat, and divers exit the water via the ladder. Need help with unfamiliar skills? Just ask — the Divemasters stand ready to assist!

Express boats are open. They’re not covered on the top and sides. So the wise diver prepares for exposure to nature’s elements: sun, wind, rolling seas, rain, splashes, heat, and (sometimes, even in Cozumel) cold.
Express boats do not have toilets.
