Where to Dive: the 2 Best Shore Excursions Dives Worldwide

1.Cozumel Shore Excursion: Mini-SUB Diving Adventure

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 151 reviews · 1 hour (approx.) · from $89Our pick

At Hotel Cozumel & Resort, guides including Joaquin and Jesús prepare you for a compact underwater scooter ride. You breathe normally inside a Mini-SUB helmet while staff guide you past fish, coral, and sea creatures. Plan for about 30 minutes underwater, a small group, and extra costs for transport, lockers, towels, and photos.

“The guides were very clear on directions which well prepared us before getting into the mini-sub. They were also very diligent about our safety as well as enjoying our time underwater. It was a very cool experience, different from anything we’ve done. We highly recommend this!”

“Megan was a great dive leader from the moment we showed up to the moment we left. There were only two of us on the dive boat and she picked two great locations. Alex our boat captain did a great job transporting us to and from the dive sites. The ver all great experience and would recommend to other future divers.”
