Cozumel Diver Discounts Offered Posted Wednesday, September 5, 2012
In an effort to create new awareness about Cozumel’s reefs, to attract new divers to the island and to treat all divers as an important part of Cozumel’s economy and future, a new diver’s discount program is about to be implemented, the “Plan Local for Scuba Divers”.
The program is the brainchild of Paul Ellis, a long-time resident of the island and the founder of the Swim for the Reef Foundation. For those of you who don’t know Paul, he created the foundation to promote reef awareness and reef protection in 2004. Later that year, he became the only the second person to swim from Cozumel to Cancun, a feat that received attention from media outlets around the world and helped to publicize reef conservation.
Mexico Water Jets, and the members of COPERMEX (business association)and CANACO (Chamber of Commerce) are going to offer “local” status to divers. Any diver with a PADI, NAUI or SSI certification card will be given local discounts by presenting that card at participating businesses. The discount on the Mexico Water Jets ferry from Playa del Carmen to Cozumel is 45%.
The goal is to show divers that they are important to Cozumel and that Cozumel needs their help in spreading the word about the magnificence of Cozumel’s reefs and the importance of reef conservation world-wide.
Information about the program is on the Swim for the Reef web site. Click on “diver’s specials”. The discount from Mexico Water Jets is only available by going online to this page.
