Frequently asked

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

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

How is the December week different from October?

Same destination and dive style; December 17–21, 2026 sits in the holiday travel window — express interest early if you need those specific dates.

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.

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.
