Tickets
We have earned enough clout at Scuba Club that they’ve allowed us to schedule our tip, our way… SPARTAN STYLE!
We are setting up this trip to take care of any sort of certification package you need. We’ve got our Divemaster accustomed to our training styles and have already set him up to expect anything we throw at him.
-
Package 1: Certified Diver $1399.00
If you’re already certified and just want to come play along, then this is the package for you. Cost includes five days of two tank boat dives and all the shore diving you can handle. Nitrox is available at the shop up to 40% (must be ordered in advance), as well as 80 and 100cf aluminum tanks.
-
Package 2: Teach me something! $1899.00
Come learn something new in Cozumel. We're doing everything from Open Water Divers to AN/Deco combination courses. See package options below.
-
Package 3: Non-diver $999.00
Don't dive but still want to hang out with the Spartans or have a friend or partner who dives and you want to tag along? The non-diver ticket is the one for you.
-
Add-on: Limited Penetration Wreck $199.00
Climbing in and out of a sunken boat or structure is epic. Learning how to do it safely with your Spartans in support - epic squared! This add-on includes the cost of training, the dive itself, your 100cf aluminum tank (Nitrox for those so inclined), and certification card upon successful completion. This certification includes three dives: two off the shore where we focus on mapping, planning, and line work, and one dive on the C-53 where we’ll penetrate that rusty lady in all of her open and willing rooms. 😉
-
Wreck Add-on: Boat Diver $49.00
Using the same training material as the wreck diver, this course pairs nicely as most wrecks are only available via a boat platform. This course prepares the diver for how to expertly maneuver and plan for diving from boat platforms. Must be taking the wreck diver course in order to add boat diver.
-
Wreck Add-on: Drift Diver $49.00
Another wreck add-on, and included in the same training materials. This course teaches what to look for with regards to extra equipment used for drift diving, including from a boat platform. Must be taking the wreck diver course in order to add drift diver.
When we go to Cozumel, we go O.G.! Scuba Club Cozumel is the original dive resort established in 1976 just for us! With epic access to the water, and breakfast and lunch included, the 5 days of boat diving seem like a cherry on top.

Day One: Arrival
Arrive at Cozumel International Airport (code CZM). Get bags and navigate through customs. Your Spartan Dive Team rep will meet you out front and get you shuttled to our resort, where your other Spartan rep will help you get checked in, show you around, and get you registered at the dive shop.
Certified divers, you’re on your own for the afternoon: head into town for grocery items or just grab a tank and jump into your bubble therapy!
Spartans to be, this is where your adventure begins! We will quickly get into our superhero SCUBA gear and start our first certification skills and dive. The goal will be to get at least one dive, but two is even better!
Dinner. We will be planning a group get-acquainted dinner at 1900 (7pm) at a close restaurant that’s just across from a grocery store: this is a perfect time to pick up bottled water, sunscreen, or any other essentials you may have forgotten.
Day Two: SCUBA Life!
Breakfast starts daily at 0700 with coffee service beginning at 0630. Join the line for the breakfast buffet and decide on either menu or daily special for lunch. Boats start arriving around 0800 for certified divers to shuffle aboard and get situated.
Spartans to be, you will have the entire morning to yourself! Lay in the sun, head into town, or relax in a hammock while reading a book (aka “napping”). The morning boat dives are usually back around noon for lunch, after which we’ll head back out and wrap up the remaining required 2-3 dives.
Evening plans are up to you. Glom onto one another or your Spartan Dive Team leaders or go it alone: the adventure is yours to choose!
Day Three: Everybody on the boat.
From today until Thursday night, we’ll all be together!
Morning boat 2-tank dive will probably be a bit shallower, no deeper than 60 fsw, to accommodate our first-time bubble heads. But, since that’s where the best stuff to see lives, all the better!
Back for lunch and then free time until the evening when anyone who wants to experience shore diving at night is welcome to join our Chief Spartan on an epic diving adventure. Don’t be surprised to see a spotted eagle ray zoom right past you, baby drum fish, lionfish, and lots of other little critters skuttling about the sea floor.
Day Four: Yes Please!
Morning boat dive for everybody! The afternoon will consist of a specially scheduled 1-tank boat dive to explore the inside of a wreck. Advanced divers only on this one. Other boat dives can be scheduled or joined.
Dinner: this evening we will be gathering at a great place just south of the resort for dinner and a nightcap at the Blue Angel. Hopefully they’ll have lionfish back on the menu!
Day Five: Best Groundhog Day EVER!
Let’s do yesterday again, only this time, we have the opportunity to add on a 2-tank “twilight” dive. This gets us in the water at dusk, and then back down again for a night dive.
Anyone is welcome to add on to this dive for only $95, plus 21% tax.
Day Six: May I have some more, please.
Morning boat dives; hopefully this time we’ll be diving some of the deeper walls.
Once we return, the afternoon is wide open. Schedule more boat dives, blow bubbles off the shore, or head into town for some time on two legs.
Day Seven: Divergence
For most of us, this is an off day. Remember that the rule is 24 hours between your flight and surfacing from your last dive. Your Spartan Dive Team will be heading out for a 2-tank morning technical dive which should put us back just before the end of lunch, and well within our pre-flight requirements, while our brand-new Spartans will be headed out for their fifth 2-tank boat dive of the week.
Divers should feel free to schedule boat dives or jump into the water with a tank out front of the resort as desired, just watch your times!
Dinner. Tonight, we’ll be headed into town for an amazing group good-bye meal at a beautiful Italian restaurant featuring a spectacular open courtyard and memory-making food.
Day Eight: The Long Goodbye
Get up, have coffee, and breakfast before heading back to your room to pack everything up. Get ready to check out by noon. Disperse tips in the proper envelopes for housekeeping, the restaurant, your dive boat, and resort divemaster appropriately.
We will have lunch on site, take some final photos, exchange contact information, and then convoy to the airport en masse.
F.A.Q.
What can I expect to see underwater?
“The bottom of Doc’s fins!”
AND… spotted eagle rays, nurse sharks, lionfish, giant grouper, drum fish, porcupine fish, and if you’re luck – seahorses. And MUCH, much more.
What is the water like?
Pretty similar to the Oregon coast with crystal clear waters at a balmy 80-84°.
Are meals included?
Some, but not all. Breakfast and lunch are included, but dinner is on your own. We have organized three “group” dinners to encourage camaraderie, but nothing obligatory.
Can I bring my kids?
Tough question. The simple answer is yes, but why? Kids under 10 can stay in their parent’s room for free, and there are some rooms with a small, futon-like couch for little Jr. Third Wheel to camp out, but someone has to be there to watch the little tykes at all times.
Why should I go on this trip?
You’d be the first. This is our inaugural trip, and the first of many to come and we’re going someplace we are extremely familiar with. The resort and staff are built around the diver experience. Rooms are air conditioned, beds are clean, and everyone gets their own private place to shower and poop (different tools for each!). What more could you ask for?
US! You get to dive with us.
Tell me about the rooms!
All rooms are air conditioned, spacious with a balcony overlooking the ocean, have one or two queen beds depending on your needs, a private bathroom with shower, small sitting area, a closet safe for your valuables, and a mini refrigerator.
