Cozumel Dive Trip

March 28, 2012 by underwaterpaparazzi Leave a Comment

We embarked on a week long trip to Cozumel with a group of divers through House of Scuba! And it was amazing! Beautiful dive resort, Casa del Mar was steps away from the shore and having an all inclusive diving package meant unlimited shore dives along WITH 2 boat dives a day, 2 additional boat NIGHT dives, and a trek to the mainland for some cenote diving! We used Jorge and his dive crew and they were nothing short of an amazing group and guide! Here are the dives spots we hit up and all the eye candy!:

Day 1: Palancar Reef, Yucab Reef, Shore Dive

The best part of this trip was the people. I could not have asked for a more amazing group to travel with! I’m also incredibly proud of this group stepping up and helping out the local kids in need. I was put in touch with the hotel director at Casa del Mar, Sandra. She personally does what she can for the local schools and orphanages that are in desperate need of supplies. After we were informed of this we rallied our group, rallied our fellow divers, sponsored extra baggage fees and brought with us clothing and school supplies for the local kids. We made such an impression with the supplies our group brought, it actually inspired the other dive groups at our dive hotel to also contribute! There is always time to give back!
