Cozumel Drift Week

October 15–19, 2026

Back to the board

Advanced drift diving the walls — Palancar, Santa Rosa, clear Caribbean current. Advanced Open Water required; dives regularly exceed 60ft.

  • My Dive Locker's Cozumel Drift Week runs October 15–19, 2026, with up to 14 day-boat drift dives on sites such as Palancar and Santa Rosa Wall.
  • Advanced Open Water certification is required for this trip, since Cozumel's wall dives regularly exceed 60ft; Nitrox certification is highly recommended given depths and multiple dives per day.
  • This is a shore-based Cozumel package — not a liveaboard — and can be used as a warm-up week before longer Maldives liveaboards on the same board.

Frequently asked

When is the next Cozumel drift week with My Dive Locker?

October 15–19, 2026 (a second week runs December 17–21, 2026).

How many dives are included?

Up to 14 dives across the week, or a path that combines diving with Open Water / Advanced Open Water course options.

What certification do I need for Cozumel drifts?

Advanced Open Water is required — Cozumel's wall sites like Palancar and Santa Rosa regularly exceed 60ft. Nitrox certification is highly recommended given the depths and repetitive daily diving.

Is this a liveaboard?

No. Cozumel diving is day-boat only under Marine Park rules. You stay shore-based and boat to the reefs daily.

What gear do I need?

Standard recreational kit; many divers use a 3mm full or shorty in Cozumel's warm water. Confirm rental vs. bring-your-own on inquiry.

What's the group size?

Small group, capped around 10–12 divers.

How do I book?

Express interest on the trip page. We follow up with seat availability, operator pairing, and payment steps — seats are limited.

Can this trip prepare me for a Maldives liveaboard?

Yes. This week works both as a standalone Cozumel trip and as a 'get ready first' path for Maldives guests on the same board.

How much does this trip cost, and what's included?

$1,450 per person, limited to 10 divers. Includes up to 14 advanced drift dives via private charter with Cangrejo Divers, free Nitrox (current certification required), airport transfers, welcome dinner, daily onboard lunches, and boutique accommodations at La Perle Noire Auberge. Guided night dives are available as an optional add-on.

What if I'm not certified yet?

Join the same week as our Cozumel Open Water Academy — same dates, same price — and get certified during the trip instead of doing the drift-diving track.
