The
Divemaster selects the specific site based on ocean conditions
and individual diver requests. So, don't forget to request your
favorite. Once you complete your check-in, which includes verification
of your certification card and a brief orientation to the Dive
Store, you are ready to go.
The dive begins at our staging area in
front of the dive shop where you assemble and check your equipment.
A Divemaster is always at hand to assist you if needed. We allow
a maximum of 8 divers per boat. The average dive group is four
to six divers per trip. Because the majority of our dive sites
are within a 10-minute boat ride, most are single tank dives.
Special two-tank dives are easily arranged.
Chivalry is not dead, we prefer to carry
the ladies tanks to the boat. Gentlemen, you are on our own unless
you request special assistance for the 100 foot walk across the
beach to our open style outboard-motor boats. A final dive briefing
is conducted on the boat just prior to departure.
The 9:30 AM dive is our scheduled deep
dive of the day. The depth of our morning dive ranges from 70
to 100 feet, site dependent. The 11:30 AM and 2:30 PM dives are
40 to 60 feet, site dependent.
Upon return to the dive shop you will proceed
to the rinse tank area to disassemble your equipment. For your
convenience and comfort, The Akumal Dive Shop provides you with
hot water showers and use of our standard lockers. Deluxe lockers
are available for rent.
