Scuba Diving Casa Phoenix El Cantil Cozumel

Yes, the water is this clear!

Alison and I have been scuba diving since 1989. We’ve been to many places but keep coming back to Cozumel. Not only does Cozumel have some of the best diving in the world, it also has some of the best topside attractions: some excellent restaurants (from American fast food to upscale dining featuring almost any cuisine), nightlife, the #1 shopping in the Caribbean, ancient ruins, Mayan culture, and the conveniences of home (WiFi, US satellite TV, cell phones, VOIP (Vonage), etc.).

Some of the best snorkeling on the island is right off our condo at the sunken pier. Diving there is super-easy and lots of fun — I saw the largest school of fish I’ve ever seen right there. It’s shallow at the sunken pier, about 30′ max. — if you want to go deeper, bring a shovel. You can rent tanks from the dive shop next door and go diving anytime day or night. We have fresh water rinse tanks in the beach area and a walk-in locked storage cage (just for our condo, not shared with other condos) where you can store your gear.

To get to the world-class reefs you’ll need to make arrangements with a dive operation. If you dive more than one day with the same operation, you can probably leave your gear on the boat. They will rinse and store it and have it on the boat when they pick you up for your next dive. We recommend ScubaTony. We think the way they run their operation is in line with what our Casa Phoenix guests expect and deserve. Here is a recent TripAdvisor review about them:

“I’ve been spending a month in Cozumel for the past ten years, and have dived with many outfits. I honestly can say that ScubaTony is the best dive shop in Cozumel. If you want professional staff, on-time pickups, courteous service, friendly staff, and of course awesome diving, this is the dive shop for you. The dive masters are highly trained and bend over backward to take you to whatever dive site you like. They don’t complain that it’s too far. They are in no hurry during the surface interval, so for your second dive, you have plenty more non-deco time to enjoy a long second dive as well. The captains are friendly and super sweet—offering you sodas and fresh cut fruit and cookies. They treat you like a VIP, and they NEVER ask for a tip (but of course we tip them, cause they deserve it!) Really, it’s the best experience!!” – ScubaTony TripAdvisor Review
