Pancho's Diving Adventures provides diving and snorkeling boat trips, scuba instruction, and equipment rental - everything you need for a memorable under-the-water experience. Our dive and snorkel trips start from the Caleta marina, between the El Presidente Hotel and the Puerta Maya cruise ship pier - just a few miles south of the main town of San Miguel. We also pick up divers at the hotel and condo piers south of town.
For divers, the prices below include tanks, air, weights, and weight belts. The prices also include all taxes and the daily marine park fee. An experienced and certified dive master leads your dive at no additional cost. If you intend to rent scuba or snorkeling gear, please contact us prior to your scheduled trip with your sizes so that we can have the proper gear ready for you.
2-tank Boat Dive
$75 USD
Dive trips leave from the Caleta marina for morning or afternoon excursions. Trips include weights, tanks, air, and snacks and water/juice during the surface interval. The daily marine park fee is included in all prices. All trips include a dive guide.
Multi-Trip Discount
$70 USD
Discounted rate for multi days of diving (2 or more days during the week)
1-tank Night Dive
$60 USD
Night dives are done at one of the shallower reefs close to the marina. Divers enter the water as the sun touches the horizon and descend while some light remains. The majority of the dive is then done during darkness. Each diver is required to have their own dive light for this dive.
2-tank Night Dive
$75 USD
The 2-tank night dives include a twilight dive late in the afternoon and then after a surface interval a regular night dive just as the sun touches the horizon. Each diver is required to have their own dive light for this dive.
Snorkeler Ride-Along
$50 USD
For those who want to snorkel up top and watch the divers explore the deeper parts of the reefs we offer a snorkeler ride-along trip. We will find some shallower parts of the reef more suitable to snorkeling while the divers go deeper. You still get the snacks and drinks between dives. We can provide snorkel equipment (mask, fins, snorkel) if needed.
Non-diver Ride-Along
$25 USD
For those who are not divers but want to partipate in the dive trip, ride along as a non-diving member of the trip. You still get the snacks and drinks between dives. You get some great views and photo opportunities of the Cozumel shore from the water. Maybe you can even play cards with the boat captain. But watch out, sometimes he cheats.
Fuel Surcharge
Add $10 USD
For trips to the far southern dive sites (Columbia, Punta Sur, Chun Chacaab, Maricaibo) there is an addition cost per diver to handle the extra fuel costs.
1/2 Day Snorkel Trip
$50 USD
Dive trips leave from the Caleta marina for morning or afternoon excursions. Trips include snorkel equipment (mask, fins, snorkel) and snacks and water/juice during the surface interval.

Snorkel trips require a 4-person minimum group.
