Frequently Asked Questions
Can my certified-diver friend take photos of me during training?
For safety, we need to keep the training environment as distraction-free as possible, so outside photos during skill sessions aren’t allowed. But don’t worry—we build in plenty of time for fun photos once training dives are complete!
Can a non-diver attend the trip?
Absolutely! Bring your partner, family member, or best friend. While you're discovering the underwater world, they can soak up the island—beaches, shopping, amazing food, snorkeling, excursions, or just relaxing at the oceanfront hotel. There’s something for everyone.
Do I need any scuba experience?
No experience needed—zero, zip, none! We teach you everything from the ground up. You only need to meet three requirements:
You must be able to swim.
You must be 18 or older.
You must complete the required medical questionnaire to ensure you’re safe to dive: https://www.padi.com/sites/default/files/documents/2020-08/10346E_Diver_Medical_Form.pdf
Do I have to be super fit to get my scuba certification?
Not at all. You don’t need to be an athlete—our trips are designed for beginners and we go at a comfortable pace. What you do need is a basic level of health and comfort in the water. In general, you should be able to:
Swim (and comfortably float/tread water)
Walk short distances carrying light gear with help available
Follow safety instructions and communicate clearly with your instructor If you have any medical conditions (or answer “yes” on the scuba medical questionnaire), you may need a doctor’s approval before participating.
What’s the water temperature in Cozumel?
Cozumel is known for warm, comfortable water year-round. Water temps typically range from the mid-to-high 70s°F in winter to the low-to-mid 80s°F in summer (roughly 24–29°C depending on the season).
Do I need to speak Spanish?
Nope! All instructors and hotel staff speak fluent English, and Cozumel is a major tourist hub—most restaurants and shops do too. You’ll feel right at home.
Do I need a passport to attend?
Yes—you’ll need a valid passport with at least six months remaining before it expires. Mexico requires this for entry.
