HOUSING

Riviera Maya & Cozumel

Mexico is one of the TOP 10 Dive destination in the world. Playa del Carmen is the place to be, with restaurants, beach bars and a sparkling night life.

the Riviera Maya & Cozumel have over 60,000 hotel rooms, so there is something for every taste and budget. We can suggest anything from a $15 per night dorm room, to a $1000 per month suite with ocean view. We are based in several hotels and can provide full accomodations.

We also have agreements with long term accomodation providers for our IDC candidates. These are very comformatble appartments with kitchen and bedroom and starting prices are as low as US$350 per month.

Where is the IDC held?

We have three 5 STAR IDC training centers along the Riviera Maya & Cozumel.
Up to Dive Master you can do at any of our centers. The IDC training is usually done at our 5 Star facility, Catalonia Playa Maroma. It’s 15 minutes north of Playa del Carmen, and we provide transportation.
We also provide training at our other PADI 5 Star facility on Cozumel. This island was a sleepy little fishing community until 1961, when Jacques Cousteau declared it one of the most beautiful scuba diving areas of the world.
Since then the waters of Cozumel have become an underwater marine park to protect the beautiful coral reefs and abundant variety of tropical fish. The wildlife is absolutely amazing due to the clarity of the water and 100 - 200 ft visibility.
The climate is sub-tropical with year round warm ocean waters.


Classes are held ocean front. You look out the classroom's window and you admire the turquoise Caribbean waters right in front of you. We use air-conditioned class rooms with the latest audio/visual media.
