Clearing the mask underwater and buoyancy control are taught and at the completion of the one hour course the diver is able to do shallow dives to 30' under the guidance of an instructor. Open Water Dive Certification is available with prior notification as well as courses beyond Open Water, such as Advanced Open water and Rescue Diving.

A: The boat departs from Marina Caleta at 9:00 AM. Please arrive at least 15 minutes early to check in and set up your gear. Marina Caleta is about 4.3 miles south of downtown Cozumel on the main highway. Once inside, The Swordfish is moored about 150 feet from the entrance.

Swordfish is thoroughly inspected by the Mexican Navy once a year and must show the ability and have the necessary equipment to handle any emergency that may arise. All boats are required to have proper radio communication, life preservers, and available oxygen tanks. All dive guides must pass the Dive Masters courses and know Red Cross techniques to handle any passenger distress involving water activities. In addition Swordfish is licensed through The Mexican National Park to utilize the reefs controlled by the Park.
