Start this fun day on the island of Cozumel by hopping on a ferry in Playa del Carmen. Then kick back and relax for 40 minutes while you are treated to spectacular views while gliding over the Caribbean. For your comfort, the ferry has facilities, snacks, and drinks. Consumables are not included in the price. Sit up top and enjoy ocean breezes, or watch the sights from the large viewing windows below with air conditioning.

When you arrive on the island, you will meet at a location that is a short walk from the ferry. That is where the friendly, English-speaking staff is waiting with your reservation. This one sells out quickly so you must book in advance or risk missing out. Blue Water Sea Trek shore excursion group size is kept small with a maximum of 8 per departure only!

The trained guide will show you where to secure your belongings and then the fun begins. They will go over the safety instructions, the equipment that you will be using, and what to expect. You will also learn the hand signals that you will use to communicate underwater.

The concept is relatively simple. A continuous flow of air into the helmet keeps the water out. Think of the helmet as a glass you turn upside down and push into a bucket of water. Physics keeps the water out and your head dry. The SeaTrek helmet will go over your head and rest on your shoulders.

Once you are ready, the guides will assist you into the water from the little beach area via a ladder. The water level will come up and stop at your shoulders (remember physics). Your face and head will stay dry so this is one of the few underwater activities where you can wear your prescription glasses. The bottom of the sea is just 20ft down basically like the bottom of a diving pool.

The Cozumel Sea Trek helmet diving cruise excursion guide will lead your group on a walk where you will bounce along in virtual weightlessness sort of like the astronauts on the moon! They will show you the many colorful tropical fish, play games, and lead you on a fun exploration for about 25 minutes. You will then return to the ladder where you will be assisted out.

You then have a mini beach break where you will enjoy 2 beverages from the domestic bar that includes bottled water, beer, soft drinks, mixed drinks, etc. You may stay and relax on the small beach area, use the provided snorkel gear, stretch out in one of the beach chairs and head back when you are ready. You may also purchase food and snacks as well as additional beverages at the full-service restaurant on site.
