Cenotes and Scuba Diving in the Caves of Mexico

“Cenote” is a word unique to Mexico derived from the Mayan word ts’onot, meaning “well,” and was used to describe any place where sinkholes formed when the earth collapsed over limestone hollows and caves providing access to the underground freshwater sources below.

Divemasters are professional divers and as such carry a great amount of responsibility for planning a dive, conducting boat and dive safety, and then assisting other divers during a dive. Often they acts as guides giving other divers the opportunity to enjoy their dive more without needing to worry about navigation, planning, not knowing the conditions and marine life, etc.

The Triple Sail divemaster training (DMT) program in Cozumel is a thorough course of practical experience and study. To begin the training program one must meet the following conditions...

Playa Las Casitas: Pier Rubble & Forgotten Ship Wrecks | Shore Diving in Cozumel

Shore diving in Cozumel can be challenging because of the usual currents that we dive in year around. Diving from Playa las Casitas is no different, but for the adventurous diver this relatively shallow shore dive offers a fascinating combination of pier rubble, two largely unheard of sunken ships and healthy transplanted live rock from Paradise Reef.

Scuba Diving with Bull Sharks in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico!

Diving, both professionally and recreationally for almost 30 years, my first bull shark dive is still a stand out among my 2000+ dives. While the bull sharks are still in Playa del Carmen, usually between November and January, we offer a seasonal tour in which we personally take our diving clients our and give them the thrill of a lifetime!

What is that “thing” attached to that fish in Cozumel?

This white grunt, Haemulon plumierii, has an isopod permanently attached to it below his eye and above his mouth. I found this one while diving on Colombia Shallows, a spectacular dive site in Cozumel, today.

But will it kill the fish???

Perhaps. Learn more about this grizzly Isopod and the strange “tongue biter”, too, in the article below!

Sargassum Triggerfish in Cozumel, Mexico

The sargassum triggerfish (Xanthichthys ringens) is a shy fish and the least aggressive among the triggers you’ll see diving with us on the beautiful reefs of ‪‎Cozumel‬! They’re FUN to watch and difficult to photograph because they are so nervous. Point a camera at them and they’re sure to head for the safety of a hole in the rocks!
