Cozumel, Mexico boasts the second largest reef in the world and, consequently, presents
divers with a tough choice of selecting the best shop out of the 120 that currently
populate the island. All of them look appealing, guarantee safe dive profiles, are
staffed with friendly and knowledgeable dive masters, and many get great reviews on
ScubaBoard and TripAdvisor. But if you would like to find something truly different, you
may want to check out Dive Cooperative, a new dive club in Cozumel.

Of course, they offer the usual diving options at the average Cozumel prices (a two-tank
dive at $85), but there’s so much more that they will let you experience.

To entice the adventure-seeker in you, Dive Cooperative invites you to set out
on exploratory dive trips to places on the island where nobody has ever dived
before (at least, not officially). Maybe you’ll discover something new and magical
during this expedition, maybe you’ll see absolutely nothing… although what are
the odds of that on the reefs of Cozumel? They can also take you to cenotes in
Playa del Carmen, organize seasonal excursions off the island – whale sharks,
sailfish, bull sharks – and arrange a trip to the Cancun underwater museum for
you.

If you are here to learn, you are in luck! Dive Cooperative gives you a unique
opportunity to be part of the recreational diving revolution that they claim is
absolutely necessary in our day and age, and pledge to carry out through fusing
recreational diving with elements of tech diving philosophy and technique. They
are also one of the very few shops on the island offering tech courses and deep
dives. All dive masters at Dive Cooperative are instructors covering most of
PADI, SDI, TDI and IANTD specialties.
Dive Cooperative is a dive club, which means its services extend beyond diving.
They will help you organize your entire trip, from selecting the perfect lodging to
recommending a delicious dinner.
And last, but not least, Dive Cooperative recognizes and honors the necessity
of giving back to the community. Hence their ambition – building a community
outreach program to promote the sport of scuba diving among low income and
underprivileged children of Cozumel, as well as to increase general participation
in marine environment and conservation. This program is funded by Dive
Cooperative members, your fellow divers, for whom diving has stopped being just
a sport, but has become a life mission. And you can make a difference, too!
