Cozumel, the largest island
in Mexico; measuring 33 miles long and 8 miles wide,
located 12 miles off the tip of the Yucatan Peninsula,
is a paradise playground. Cozumel is a rarity in today's
travel world. It has maintained a laid back, relaxed
pace and a distinctive Mexican culture, yet it has all
the services of a larger travel destination. Want shopping,
a variety of restaurants, nightlife, beaches, watersports,
and a relaxed atmosphere to compliment diving? No problem
in Cozumel !
Divers world wide have discovered Cozumel's most valuable
treasure... it's coral reefs. Cozumel is constantly
bathed by the south to north flow of the Yucatan current,
which produces visibility often exceeding 100 feet,
and most dives are conducted as mild drift diving. The
underwater landscape includes majestic cliffs, canyons,
tunnels, and cathedrals overgrown with black coral,
sponges, and giant sea fans. The reefs and walls support
a prolific amount of friendly fish life such as giant
groupers and angelfish.
Climate 75 - 90F 24 -32C Water Temp 75 - 85F 24 -29C
Visibility Nearly Consistant 100 ft 30 m

Travel
To Cozumel
Cozumel,
Mexico has an international airport on the island. Airlines
such as Continental, US Airways, Mexicana
and Northwest
fly directly to the island. Unfortunately, during low seasons,
not all departure cities offer direct flights to the island.
These flights usually fly directly to Cancun and then a
very short connecting flight is taken to Cozumel Island,
Mexico.
The Cozumel airport is very small. Your plane will land
and you will deplane and walk into the building. Then you
will proceed to the immigration section. There are several
booths. Please have your tourist cards fill out completely
and correctly (you will receive tourist cards with your
airline tickets and/or on the plane). After clearing immigration,
proceed to the baggage pick up. Collect your luggage and
you will be required to press a button to clear customs.
Red means stop, green light means go. Random. Proceed to
exit.
As you proceed there is a booth on left side before you
exit the doors. You will need to purchase tickets for each
person for transportation to your hotel or destination.
This airport transfer and a car rental is the only to get
to your hotel (besides walking out with your luggage far
enough to get a cab). No cabs allowed to pick up tourists.
There will be hotel representatives, airline representatives,
tour operators and property rental representatives outside.
Car Rentals: Avis and Executive are at the airport.
COZUMEL via CANCUN
Getting from Cancun to Cozumel. (All fares subject to change).
1. Fly from Cancun to Cozumel: approximately 20 minutes
flying time.
Aerocaribe and Aerocozumel with Mexicana Airlines flies
directly from the Cancun (domestic airport) to Cozumel.
Current cost one-way is $60 US. You can book directly online
or with your travel agent. Schedules and fares are available
online: www.aerocaribe.com .
2. Airport Transfer "Collectivo" or minivan direct
from Cancun airport to Playa Del Carmen (approximately 45
minutes traveling time), then Ferry to Cozumel (about 45
minutes). Current cost is $15 US per person.
After baggage pick-up, as you walk towards the exit, there
will be booths for transportation and taxis. At the booth,
ask for a collectivo to Playa Del Carmen. You pay at the
booth, receive a ticket and then proceed outside to where
the minivans are. They will take your ticket and load your
luggage. As soon as one van is filled, the van departs.
The vans are readily available all day long.
3. Express Bus from Cancun Airport to Playa Del Carmen Bus
Terminal (about 45 minutes)
As soon as you pass immigration (green/red button) just
after the transportation pavillions and just before the
outdoors, there is a stand that says Express Bus to Playa
Del Carmen. 65 pesos or $7.50 US. Purchase a ticket and
there will be greyhound like buses outside. They are scheduled.
Express Bus Schedule (subject to change)

will be able to see the ferry docks. Before the pier, there
will be an information booth as well as a booth to purchase
the tickets.
Playa Del Carmen to Cozumel (40-45 minutes traveling time)
Then from Playa Del Carmen, take the ferry to Cozumel Island.
The ferry boat ride is about 40 minutes on the large boats

is the same for tourists. It docks right at the heart of

Helpful Travel Tips
Electricity
Most of Cozumel uses standard 120-voltage.
Taxis are plentiful and reasonably priced, especially if
you share with others. Taxis can also be hired for a day
of touring the island.
Rental Cars
There are many rental agencies available with a wide variety
of cars, jeeps and vans. Try to use one of the reputable
agaencies or check with your hotel for advice. Also keep
in mind there are few gas stations and hours are short.
The good news is that it does not take much gas to tour
the whole island. Scooters are also available, but remember,
you cannot purchase insurance for these so check with your
company before you leave home to see if they will cover
you.
Dress
Dress is mostly casual. There are few places where you need
a coat or formal dress. The weather is warm and you should
dress comfortably. Some resuarants and nightclubs do not
allow sandals or shorts and swimsuits should not be worn
around town.
Sunscreen
Bring a lot and use it, everyday! The combination of sun,
surf, sand and beer makes for a perfect a perfect sunburn.
Water
Most hotels and restuarants offer bottled water. Use it!!
Cozumel's water is supposed to be quite good, but visitors
are just not used to it. No sense in ruining your trip because
of the water.
