Cozumel is Mexico's largest island. The friendly, laid-back tropical island atmosphere, world class dive operators and stunning Caribbean beauty makes Cozumel the dive resort destination of choice for thousands of experienced SCUBA divers from around the world… "it's a hands down favorite of the pro seeking unpretentious comfort and authentic Bohemian charm." The jewel-shaped island lies just 12 miles off the Yucatan Coast. Its jungle-clad interior and ivory white beaches are girdled by one of the most spectacular ensembles of coral reefs in this hemisphere. Surrounding Cozumel's limestone shore is the mythical clear water ranging in colors from stunning turquoise to deep indigo. Cozumel's SCUBA diving is legendary… following a 1961 television documentary by Jacques Cousteau, Cozumel rapidly developed a world-wide following of serious SCUBA divers who still rank it as one of the five top dive sites on the planet. Because of the professional attitude of most of the island's dive operators and members of the ANOAAT, the island's surrounding sea is still teeming with undersea life, colorful reefs, and the slumbering hulls of old Spanish galleons. So…the legend continues! The island offers over 2,500 units of mostly moderate lodging, divided among 25 or so properties to the north and south of San Miguel. In the town there are a few 2 and 3 star properties, catering to the budget diver. Fortunately, massive resort development is stymied by a lack of potable water and a desire to protect the island's delicate ecosystem. This helps keep Cozumel life simple and all but guarantees an affordable and laid-back Caribbean island experience.
