Located off the coast of Mexico's Yucatn Peninsula, Cozumel boasts some of the world's most stunning coral reefs, attracting divers of all skill levels. Drift diving is particularly popular here, allowing divers to effortlessly glide along the currents while observing colorful fish, turtles, and even the occasional nurse shark. The warm waters and excellent visibility make Cozumel a diver's paradise, while the island's laid-back atmosphere and stunning coastal scenery add to the overall charm of the diving destination.

    With Dressel Divers' comfortable boats and professional services, this future trip promises an extraordinary underwater adventure you'll cherish forever.

    12 More Reasons To Join This Trip?

    From CEO, Scott Gietler, following his Nov 2023 Cozumel trip:

    • We have a private boat, so we can dive the best sites whenever we want.
    • We are staying at Cozumel's best resort, Iberostar.
    • Resort is all-inclusive! This means all food, drinks, alcohol, activities. Everything! Even sushi!
    • The resort is beautiful, featuring a distinctly tropical ambiance enhanced by stunning gardens and plants, and plenty of shade. It boasts three pools equipped with swim-up bars and a truly delightful white sand beach.
    • The on-site Dive shop, Dressel Divers, operates exceptionally well. It offers great tank fills, with Nitrox available, and boasts well-equipped boats providing ample shade.
    • Meals are buffet-style, which means you can eat quickly if you want. But the food selection is huge, and the food is tasy. They also have three sit-down la carte restaurants.
    • We'll have the best guides, who won't rush us during the dives, and who will find us small stuff and big stuff.
    • Eagle rays! Nurse sharks! Seahorses! Eels, octopus, toadfish, arrow crabs, reef sharks, turtles, beautiful angelfish, schools of jacks.
    • The resort is super close to Cozumel's best dive sites - Palancar Reef and Cedral. Palancar is so amazing, huge sponges, pinnacles and swim-throughs!
    • A sprawling resort with abundant amenities - you won't experience any waiting in lines at this resort! It never feels crowded. You won't have to wait for food, drinks, etc.
    • Best rental gear in the world! Dressel Divers has all Scubapro rental gear, no need to bring your own BCD or reg!
    • Great for non-divers, bring your partner, they will never be bored. Ask for special prices for non-divers.

    Connectivity

    At Iberostar Cozumel, complimentary Wi-Fi is provided throughout the resort, including in guest rooms and public areas. The connection is generally reliable for everyday activities such as checking email, messaging, social media and light browsing, though speeds can fluctuate with usage levels and may not always support heavy streaming or large file uploads. 

    If you need more robust or consistent internet access, purchasing a local Mexican SIM card with a data package is a good alternative. Major carriers like Telcel, AT&T Mexico, and Movistar offer prepaid data plans with 4G/LTE coverage on Cozumel and the surrounding area. You can buy a SIM card and top-up plan at Cozumel International Airport upon arrival, at convenience stores like OXXO, or at carrier shops in town before heading to the resort. Make sure your phone is unlocked and compatible with local networks before you travel. 

    Most major US mobile phone providers offer international “bolt-on” or add-on packages that let you use your phone abroad without changing SIMs. The details vary by carrier and plan.
