Drift diving is the trademark of Cozumel. At Cozumel you may get some of the greates drift diving of your life.

Most of the time when you dive in Cozumel you just let the current do the work for you and allow it to drift you over the reef. The boat will follow the divers so that when the group surfaces the boat will be there.

Buoyancy control is important for drift diving
