Planning a dive trip for your family includes finding destinations that accommodate various experience levels. Maduro Dive is a wholesale dive travel agency that helps you plan your diving trips to maximize your dive experience. Here is more information to help you find family-friendly dive trips around the world:
Mexico
Cozumel, Mexico, is an ideal destination for dive trips with divers, as it offers clearer water visibility. Some seasons offer completely calm water while others can have currents of up to two knots. Our experienced team can help you plan your trip during your preferred season. Divers are also able to experience drift diving, allowing with good buoyancy control the current to gently propel them through the water.
Cozumel offers 40 dive sites and a vast variety of ocean life, allowing your family members to see vibrant color reefs, sea turtles, rays, eels, sharks and endemic species such as the toadfish. If your family includes advanced divers, they have the option to try wall dives or explore tunnels. Dive sites near the all-inclusive Ibestostar Cozumel include the Santa Rosa Wall and the Plane Wreck.
