MEXICO – Don Jose Liveaboard, Baja From June through to November, Baja California in Mexico offers some of the best diving in the world. The Don Jose Liveaboard offers two trips - the Whaleshark Expedition and the Sea of Cortez Expedition. Custom built in 1978, the Don Jose is an 80ft vessel with seven air conditioned cabins (above deck). Marine wildlife viewing onboard is excellent as the second and third decks of the boat are high above the water enabling passengers to look down upon the whales, dolphins, mantas and whalesharks. A spotter plane is also used to direct the boat to the animals as they feed. The crew always includes both naturalist and divemaster, and kayaks are available for an additional ways to explore the water. |

Diving The Sea of Cortez – referred to by Jacques Cousteau as the ‘aquarium of the world’ – is a unique ecosystem formed by powerful ocean currents generating constant water renewal. This has encouraged a huge diversity of marine life with over 800 fish species, and much pelagic traffic. The area attracts whales and whalesharks (predominantly May/June and August through to October), and humpback whales annually migrate across the southern Sea of Cortez. Best dive sites include El Bajo for its schooling hammerheads, the wreck of Salviaterra and Las Animas for ‘the Pinnacles’. Also a visit to Los Islotes is great for a chance to the dive with the numerous sealions. Prices From £1107 for 8 day trip including 6 nights Liveaboard and 1 night land based in La Paz, including full board and diving in a twin share upper deck cabin. |

MEXICO – Scuba Club Cozumel, Land Based Located on the waterfront one mile south of the downtown ferry dock, an attractive multi-level building of Spanish-Colonial architecture blends in with the waterfront. No hype. No pretensions. You probably wouldn't know about us unless someone told you. That's how divers find their way here. Built in 1976 as Cozumel's first dedicated diver's resort, Scuba Club Cozumel is still a very intimate place where Cozumel Aficionados find convenience and good value. Designed and built — by divers for divers — to provide all services in one convenient place. |
 |
Diving Due to the prevailing currents found in Cozumel, all boat dives are drift dives. Divemasters will lead every group of divers. The pace is generally very relaxed. When the currents are running stronger its easiest to go with the flow and let the current carry you over the reefs and through the passes. Naturally some dives are more advanced than others and your guide will help to evaluate your diving comfort level so they may suggest dive sites best suited to your skill level. For those divers who can't get enough of Cozumel's undersea life, the UNLIMITED shore diving package is always available and just a few steps from your room. Prices From £549 for 7 nights in double room full board, transfers and diving (3 days boat diving and UNLIMITED shore diving package). Flight prices from £549 - please ask for details |
