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!

While critically endangered around the world, we are blessed to rarely have a dive where we do not see them and enjoy their presence.

Have you seen this strange creature underwater?
Have you seen this strange creature underwater? It’s called the Tiger’s Tail or Tiger Tail Sea Cucumber (Holothuria thomasi), the largest of all sea cucumbers and can stretch to about 6 feet long! Check the video...

“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.

Eagle Ray Season in Cozumel
Eagle Ray Season in Cozumel
I do frequently get asked by people interested in scuba diving in Cozumel when the best time of year is to see spotted eagle rays. We usually see the most eagle rays in Cozumel between January and March. Of course, there are the few that arrive early or stay late and we do see them on occasion throughout the year.

Scuba Diving in Cozumel and Spotted Eagle Rays
Scuba Diving in Cozumel and Spotted Eagle Rays
Spotted eagle rays, Aetobatus narinari, are a cartilaginous fish of the eagle ray family, Myliobatidae. They live in tropical waters around the world (including both sides of the American continents).
A group of spotted eagle rays, manta rays, stingrays, devil rays or any other ray is a fever of rays – though admittedly when I see them gliding this gracefully in formation, I like to thinking of them as a squadron.
I do frequently get asked by people interested in scuba diving in Cozumel when the best time of year is to see spotted eagle rays. We usually see the most eagle rays in Cozumel between January and March. Of course, there are the few that arrive early or stay late and we do see them on occasion throughout the year. While they are usually solitary creatures, during “cozumel eagle ray season” I have seen fevers of spotted eagle rays as large as 20 to 25 animals and Luis has said that he’s seen even large groups!
Scuba diving in Cozumel, Mexico with spotted eagle rays is absolutely amazing! We have videos, facts and information about Cozumel's eagle ray season here…

Scuba Diving in Cozumel with ScubaLuis
Scuba Diving in Cozumel with ScubaLuis
Over the last two weeks I dove again with long-time dive buddies from Chicago, and Texas and we chose to dive with ScubaLuis this time. Luis is our favorite divemaster from ScubaTony who left and has opened his own dive shop in Cozumel. Luis is still the very best divemaster in Cozumel in my opinion but now he’s seriously upped the level of service and attention that he is able to give his clients.

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...

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!

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?
