Scuba Diving is fun!

Our job is to make your underwater experience safe, exciting and just plain old fun. We love our jobs!

 

Reef and diverThe 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.
