Why Cozumel?

Cozumel is an island full of heart and soul. An amazing Caribbean island brimming with energy, colour, love and life. Full of creative, fascinating people. Surrounded by turquoise, crystal clear waters. Incredibly beautiful reefs. Abundant marine life. Eagle rays, Sting rays, Groupers. Shoals and shoals. Turtles galore. Unafraid.

What is in fact a delicious secret, unknown to many Pacific and SE Asia lovers, is that some of Cozumels reefs are amongst the most diverse, magnificent and dramatic in the world.

 

Enigmatically Exquisite

 

A maze of coral tunnels, canyons and caves provide the perfect backdrop to inspiring underwater images. Plateaus heave with critters, larger predators and myriad forms of enigmatic marine life. From high-flying drifts to abyssal walls, to plateaus brimming with turtles, rays, big fish and sharks, to rolling landscapes of exquisitely coloured sponges, the reefs provide an infinite adventure playground, and a dazzling, contrasting abundance of energy and life.

 

In Cozumel, marine animals are never hunted.

The reefs have never been blasted and dynamite fishing is unheard of.

Because of the high emphasis on marine and natural protection, Cozumels marine animals swim into your face, pose for your camera lens and make the underwater world an inspiring place to be alive. A couple of giant loggerhead turtles go about feeding and interacting within touching distance. For an entire dive.

Unique, never seen before footage is possible every day.

The reefs are so alive, wild and free, buzzing with energy, magic and life.

Here, the marine animals are abundant. Active. Wild.

Here the marine life is never hunted.

Other than by each other :-)

There are incredible reef features, giant canyons, tunnels, and dramatic swim-thrus. There are no soft corals, yet the stunningly picturesque reef formations make up for it. Huge, towering canyons rising up from the ocean floor, with tunnels, caverns and caves for all levels of experience to choose from. Incredible opportunities for images, if you're away from the crowds and with the right Guide.

Here, there are moray eels of all kind. And if you look a little closer, the moray eels are abound with cleaners such as the banded coral shrimp, pederson shrimps and arrow crabs. And if you are lucky enough to see these eels fluoresce, you enter another world entirely.

Across the bay, gatherings of bull sharks. An island up, whalesharks and mantas. And on the doorstep, shoals of fish gather around brightly colourful sponges of all variety.

 

Turtles lay eggs for several months on the pristine beaches, and the military and army patrol them at night to protect the little hatchlings and the entire marine world.

Here conservation and marine protection is not a marketing tool. It is a given. An ongoing work. And a natural part of every day life. And it shows.

Whether Explorer or Marine Biologist, Pro or Novice, Critter-lover of Adrenalin-seeker, this is an island that can fulfill everybody's idea of diving bliss.

What do our guests think?

"Dear Guy and Anita, I cannot thank you enough for the best week of SCUBA and underwater photography of my life! I’ve been diving all over the world since the age of 12, and this was by far the best experience I’ve ever had.

"Your knowledge of the flora and fauna of Cozumel is unsurpassed and Guy is a fantastic VIP guide. Even though I’m an experience diver, I found that his guidance and advice honed my skills and comfort in the water, taking it to a new level. The personalized dive master service was a real treat".

"While I’m a decent photographer, I was never thrilled with my underwater photos. Guy worked closely with me and my equipment teaching me the finer points of shooting in raw/ manual mode, composition, lighting, and working with both my wide-angle and macro wet lenses. He also gave me excellent guidance how to approach many sea creatures such as turtles, toad fish, and sting rays without spooking them to ensure I got the best photos. We even spent time in the afternoons reviewing my photos, with Guy teaching me how best to enhance them in Adobe Light Room and Photoshop. I highly recommend that anyone wishing to improve any underwater skills spending a week with Guy in the beautiful pristine waters off the coast of Cozumel". Mitch Yankowitz, Los Angeles

 

Hollywood Stars Kimberly Leemans and Falk Hentschel in Cozumel:
"I just had the most wonderful experience of filming a movie that required underwater shots, including a scene with Bull Sharks. The challenge of having to communicate underwater, while scuba diving, and handling the elements couldn't have gone smoother or easier without my wonderful underwater Film Director Guy".

"Guy's level of expertise and attention to safety, from start to finish, let me easily trust him with my life and my performance. The footage that I was able to see before the final edit looks absolutely unbelievable! "Not only did he help me make memories of a lifetime, he made me look great making them!" "I'm so looking forwards to a sequel, or to work on any project with him in the future.... Merci Guy!"
