Pro Dive International Allegro Cozumel

Diving Cozumel from the shoreline

Pro Dive International holds PADI 5* Dive Center status and sits along the resort's shoreline to the south of the island. The location inside the Cozumel National Marine Park puts the reefs just a 5-10-minute boat ride away, with up to four dives each day and night dives several times a week (minimum of 6 divers).

The daily rhythm is straightforward: two dives at 8:00 am and two at 1 pm, usually without returning to the dive center in between. Regular sites include Palancar and Palancar Gardens, Casa Blanca, Chankanaab Shallows and Paso de Cedral. Water sits around 24 degrees Celsius / 75 degrees Fahrenheit, so a 5 mm wetsuit is advisable.

Alongside these, the team runs daily excursions to the cenotes on the mainland — two dives in distinct caverns, groups strictly limited to 4 divers per cavern instructor, with a picnic of sandwiches and non-alcoholic beverages in between. A local reef dive comes first, and the minimum age is 15.

With 5 PADI instructors, 16 courses and activities and 7 languages spoken, it suits everyone from Discover Scuba Diving newcomers to Open Water and Enriched Air students. There's an onsite training pool, classroom and dive boat.
