You've heard it all before but diving the waters of Cozumel is exceptional and breathtaking and the dives sites look different even if you return to the same spot in the same week.

Since "insiders" live here on the island and dive several times each week, this information is about as accurate as you will get with regard to dive conditions on an ongoing basis. Enjoy and come dive with us soon!

Any time is a good time to visit Cozumel ~ there are no really bad times of year weather-wise in Cozumel! That's the great thing about this island tropical setting ... it's never bad as compared to other places further north! But, with regard to dive conditions etc. here are a few guidelines to determine if you would be happy/comfortable diving during these time frames:
  • March - June: (Spring/Summer) Seas are usually flat, skies sunny ... alot of "no cloud" days, water temp 79-81 and viz from 100 - 300+ depending on if the island gets any rains. These months riding on the boat is pleasantly warm because humidity is less and alot of sunscreen is needed.

    July - October: (Rainy Season) Seas are usually flat, skies are more cloudy and rain comes/goes throughout the day with no real rhyme or reason so it's very humid [70%+] as well as warm. Water temp will be 80-84 and 300+ viz if the rains are scattered. This is also part of our hurricane/tropical storm time .... if these roll thru ~ all bets are off on water conditions obviously!! However, with that said this is also a great time to be here diving if there is no "weather"... Fewer divers, fewer people in general.

  • November -February: (Winter) Seas will be lightly choppy, most days it will be sunny with skies partly cloudy and water temps will go from 84 down to 78-80 range. Viz will be very good generally. During winter we get "nortes" that blow in from time to time and shut down diving for 2-3 days. Also, the boat rides can be chilly for sometimes there are low north winds and diving goes on.
These conditions only affect personal comfort so each person must decide what they are willing to tolerate what nature has to offer ~ As far as critters go ... they are here no matter what the weather although divers are more likely to see larger stuff during the winter months when the deep water is cooler ... especially the spotted eagle rays!

Just become a frequent visitor and you'll see that any day diving beats being somewhere else no matter the time of year!!

OHThis was the hightlight of our trip! We will be back!
(Our guide)SAID- WAS FANTASTIC.....Couldn't of had a better guide! He went out of his way to give the best trip ever! .....We will be snorkeling all day on our next trip with Eagle Ray.
Sorry I missed you Sherri, would have liked to meet you! We had a private trip because another couple had scheduled but didn't show! ! would of paid extra for a private snorkle all day. Sherri -something that I would suggest! There is nothing better than one guide SAID of course with a couple all day!
I can't explain into words what an amazing trip this was! Don't get stuck on a boat with lots of people on a tour!

Thanks a bunch EAGLE RAY/ And of course SAID! Cindy and Jay Miller ~ parkersburg west virginia usa

What a great Experience!!! We booked our excursions through this website with a slight bit of apprehension. We figured it would be safer to book through our cruise ship since this was our first time going to Cozumel. Boy am I so thankful we didn't. Our cruise ship (which we thoroughly enjoyed) had many excursions organized with tons of people in each excursion. By booking through Cozumel Insider we were definitely given smaller groups to be with.......then we booked a Resort Scuba with Eagle Ray Divers. We had one on one attention with Antonio (the owner), our own boat to go out on, and then got personalized attention with the lesson and dive. I know that if we had booked on the cruise ship there probably would've been many other people that would've needed attention, it would've taken more time and it would've diminished our experience. This dive was definitely worth the money and was the most memorable activity we had on this vacation. Highly recommended!!!!

Next year we will definitely book through Cozumel Insider, we will recommend this company to all our friends, and we plan on booking with Antonio for more scuba next time!!!! Dr. Marvin Carson ~ Tullahoma, Tennesseee

This is just to let you know that I am very satisfied with the service which I have received during a three reef snorkelling trip with the Eagle Ray Divers. George as the captain and Sahid (forgive me if I got his name wrong) were very nice and helpful.
I was able to see so big and colourful fishes for the first time in my life.

We have also seen the turtles and stingrays. Nice trip. Next time will definitely go scuba diving, probably not Caribbean (Red Sea is much much closer to where I live), but who knows, if I ever come to Cozumel again I
would choose Eagle Ray Divers again. JERZY (Yurek) GURYCZ ~ Krakow Poland

We just returned from our Cruise and wanted to drop you a note to say thanks for booking the Atantis for us. It was a great excursion at a great price and a smooth transaction. Thanks Again. Richard and Andrea ~ Vero Beach, Florida

I got my beautiful map today and it is great -- thanks! It is for hanging on the wall in my daughter's room. They both look forward to visiting Cozumel again some day if we can. Kay H. ~ St. Louis, MO
