Cozumel's Most Fascinating Underwater Creatures
Are you planning to dive in Cozumel soon? Judy G's photography showcases the marine life you can expect to see underwater on the famed reefs of Mexico's largest Caribbean island.
Old style Scubaversity trip. We leave Friday afternoon after work and book into the newly renovated St Andrews hotel late that evening (luxury accommodation in diver's language) to get a nights rest for the weekend.
Blue Vision dive centre is located behind the hotel, so you just have to fall out of your bed into the kit-up area, breakfast is included at the hotel and you will have enough time to for a quick kip while waiting for your next dive.  

 

On Saturday evening we'll find a local restaurant or maybe take a drive to Durb's or visit Ushaka for a night on the town. Saturday we will have two launches , Sunday two launches and Monday one dive before heading home.So if you looking for an opportunity to get back in the water with a little effort, a bit of excitement - this is the perfect quick getaway. Easy on the pocket and guaranteed to give you that pep in the step you need to get to the end of the year.

Tec 40
Qualifying In Aliwal
If you're interested in technical diving, but haven't yet met the prerequisites for the PADI Tec 50 Diver course or PADI Tec 45 course, you can consider enrolling in the PADI Tec 40 course. It is the first subdivision of the full PADI Tec Deep Diver course and consists of the first four dives. Because you can do one of  these dives in confined water (such as a swimming pool), many divers start the Tec 40 courses in the winter months, ready to continue in open water when spring arrives.
