About this experience
Our favorite part of this experience is seeing the eyes of new divers during those first few breaths underwater! It is a look of awe and excitement and it always makes us smile. We are a family business run by a Cozumel native and we love to share our very favorite things the island has to offer. Our motto at Cozumel Abyss Divers is "quality, not quantity", so you will experience a small group setting where you will get plenty of attention from your instructor. We keep a small ratio of no more than four* divers per instructor, and we also don't have a diver minimum for this experience, so we won't cancel if you are the only one! *If you have a group of more than four wanting to book this experience, please reach out to us so that we can have an additional instructor ready!

Awesome for one on one instruction
I've used Cozumel Abyss Divers for five years this most recent trip was for my advanced open water certification. I had a one on one certification with Jose and it wasfantastic. I highly recommend this to anyone that wants one-on-one instruction.

Best Guide in Cozumel
We spent two days diving with Jose as our private guide, and honestly, it simply couldn’t have been any better. Jose is an incredibly genuine and kind person, and on top of that, he has an unbelievable amount of diving experience. We felt comfortable and well taken care of at all times. Whenever we mentioned something we wanted to see—like nudibranchs—he immediately went looking for them and managed to find countless ones. He picked us up from our Airbnb every morning, making everything easy and stress-free. On top of being an outstanding dive guide, he also felt like our local guide on Cozumel. Every evening, he sent us recommendations for great restaurants and bars via WhatsApp. He even helped us at the pharmacy to make sure we bought the right medication. His wife, who was often in the car when he picked us up, was incredibly kind as well. She always asked how we were doing, how our dive day had been, and whether there was anything she could do to help. All in all, it genuinely doesn’t get any better than this. If I could, I would do every single dive—anywhere in the world—with Jose as my guide.

Great Discover Scuba experience
This was a great introduction to scuba diving for my teenagers. Jose went over the basic skills we had to accomplish before our dive. He explained things very well and was patient with us as we learned the necessary skills. We had a very good experience and felt very safe the entire time.
Response from the operator: Howdy Alvaro, Thank you very much for your kind words, I am very happy to know that you and your kids had a blast. We hope to have you guys soon to get certified. Kind regards, Jose

Great guide
Great intro dive experience. Seems like they’d be great for more advanced dives as well. Will use again

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Discover Scuba Diving in Cozumel: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cozumel.
How much does Discover Scuba Diving in Cozumel cost?
+
Prices start at $100 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cozumel usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Discover Scuba Diving in Cozumel take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cozumel is not rushed.
Is Discover Scuba Diving in Cozumel worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 40 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cozumel, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Discover Scuba Diving in Cozumel?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Discover Scuba Diving in Cozumel suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Discover Scuba Diving in Cozumel?
+
Around 14 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cozumel can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cozumel and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Discover Scuba Diving in Cozumel start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cozumel within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cozumel?
+
On Outty we rank every Cozumel experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Jade Caverns and Mayan Village Cozumel ATV TOUR, Buggy, Beach & Snorkel Blast, ATV 4×4+Cenote+Snorkeling+Beach Club+ Lunch+Sabores de Cozumel. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cozumel?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cozumel?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
