Located directly on the Caribbean -- just 200 feet from a submerged plane wreck -- El Cid La Ceiba Beach Hotel is the perfect Cozumel dive resort for both expert divers and novices. With crystalline water and visibility to depths of 200 feet, Cozumel has earned a worldwide reputation as one of the top five scuba and snorkeling sites on the planet. A sleepy fishing community until 1961, Cozumel gained international acclaim when legendary oceanographer Jacques Cousteau declared it one of the most beautiful diving areas in the world. 

Learn the basics of snorkeling and scuba basics from the SSI-trained dive masters at our onsite Babieca Dive Center. For more experienced guests, our dive boat will take you to deeper, more exotic open-water locations. These include the mysterious underground rivers that honeycomb the porous limestone of the Yucatan -- providing some of the most beautiful cave and cavern diving in the world.
