Welcome to Cha Cha Cha Dive Shop

At Cha Cha Cha Dive Shop, diving isn’t just our business — it’s our passion. Since 1991, when we first opened our doors in Cozumel, we’ve been sharing the magic of the island’s world-class reefs with divers from all over the world.

What sets us apart? It’s simple: small groups, personal attention, and a deep love for the ocean. We believe your dive experience should feel easy, fun, and unforgettable — not rushed or crowded. That’s why we limit our trips to just 7 divers per group, giving you more space, more comfort, and more time to enjoy every moment.

Our boats are specially designed with divers in mind, and our crew is here to make you feel like part of the Cha Cha Cha family — whether it’s your first dive or your fiftieth.

After a recent rebranding and a few renovations, we’re looking better than ever — but we’re still in the same spot, still run by the same people, and still delivering the personalized, professional service that made us a favorite for over three decades.

Let’s dive the way it should be: relaxed, safe, and full of joy.

What to expect

The PADI Discover Scuba Diving experience is a perfect introduction to scuba diving for those who want to try diving without committing to a full certification. Here’s how your adventure will unfold:


1. Meeting Point & Welcome

You’ll meet us at Cha Cha Cha Dive Shop. One of our friendly instructors will greet you and provide all the necessary equipment for your dive. After a brief introduction, we’ll go over the itinerary and answer any questions you might have to ensure you're ready for your adventure.


2. Briefing & Equipment Setup

Your instructor will guide you through a quick, easy-to-understand briefing, covering dive basics such as how to use your mask, regulator, and BCD (buoyancy control device). You’ll also learn important safety procedures and hand signals for underwater communication. Once everyone’s ready, we’ll set up your gear and head to the boat.


3. First Dive – Shallow Reef Exploration (45-60 minutes)

Your first dive will take place on a shallow reef at a depth of up to 15 feet (4.5 meters). This relaxed dive will give you the opportunity to get comfortable underwater, practice your buoyancy control, and enjoy the vibrant marine life in the crystal-clear waters of Cozumel. Expect to see colorful fish, corals, and possibly rays or turtles.


4. Surface Interval & Relaxation

After your first dive, we’ll surface and take a short break. During the surface interval, you’ll have time to relax, hydrate, and discuss your experience with your instructor. You’ll also get the chance to ask any questions you may have.


5. Second Dive – Deeper Reef Exploration (45-60 minutes)

The second dive will take you to a slightly deeper reef, with a depth of up to 35 feet (10.5 meters). This dive allows you to explore new areas of the reef while continuing to build your skills. Your instructor will guide you through the dive, and you’ll have the chance to see even more fascinating marine life in this stunning underwater ecosystem.


6. Return to the Dive Shop & Reflection

After your two dives, we’ll return to the shop. You’ll have the chance to relax, reflect on your experience, and share what you saw. You’ll also receive a Certificate of Completion to remember your dive experience.


What’s Included:

  • Full scuba gear rental

  • PADI-certified instructor

  • Two-tank dive (45-60 minutes each)
