Do you need a scuba diving certification card to scuba dive in Cozumel Mexico on a cruise?
Hi, This request is perfect. The answer is yes, No dive operation will take you diving without a “C” card. The diving is deep drift diving in one of the best dive sites in the world with depths over 100′, not to mention the current. Here is what you can do. You can take an introductory SCUBA course for one or two dives with most dive operations on the island and there are a lot. This will take a few hours of instruction to make sure your are comfortable in the water. The instructor will take you out to a local reef system at about 40 feet and take you down making sure you are OK. The best way is get certified before you travel, then you’re all set. Or you can try and get a certification in two or three days on the island. Most all dive shops will off a PADI course and they are very strict in how they operate. Good Luck. Dive Safe.
