Look but don't touch! These bearded fireworms can blend into their surroundings and cause very painful stings with just the slightest touch! 🔥😫🔥 Mind your buoyancy!

“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.

These pits figured prominently in Mayan culture, as places of worship, sources of life and places of sacrificial death.

Fresh water, having spent perhaps millions of years seeping and dripping through the limestone bedrock formed unimaginable numbers of delicate stalactites, stalagmites and columns, producing labyrinths and formations that are complex, menacing at times but always stunning to behold! These dry caves were eventually flooded, thus effectively bringing to a halt to any additional formation.

Shore diving in Cozumel can be challenging because of the usual currents that we dive in year around.

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.

Here are a few videos I've taken while scuba diving in Cozumel, Mexico and other nearby places. From my experience, Cozumel is consistently the best place to scuba dive in the Caribbean.

And many others.

What are the Requirements for Becoming a PADI Divemaster?

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...

Cozumel Fish Identification

I really enjoy watching the trumpetfish while scuba diving in Cozumel! I love to watch them hide behind other fish and stalk their prey until they are close enough to strike!

Trumpetfish While Scuba Diving in Cozumel

Did you know that the trumpetfish (Aulostomus chinensis) is a relative of the sea horse? But don't let this connection fool you! The trumpetfish is one of the most stealthy and masterful hunters among other predators you'll find scuba diving in Cozumel!

Why not take a PADI Aware Fish Identification or naturalist specialty course with us and learn fascinating facts like this and a hundred other marine creatures the next time you're in Cozumel?
