Join us in
Cozumel, Mexico
for some “Fun in the Sun” at the Scuba Club Cozumel Dive Resort
March 12 to 19, 2016
Escape with Aqua Ventures to the Scuba Club Cozumel Dive Resort this Winter. A unique resort located on the
waterfront one mile south of downtown, an attractive multi-level building of Spanish-Colonial architecture that
blends in with the waterfront. No hype. No pretensions. You probably wouldn't know about it unless someone told
you. That's how divers find their way there. Built in 1976 as Cozumel's first dedicated diver's resort, Scuba Club
Cozumel is still a very intimate place where Cozumel Aficionados find convenience and good value. Designed and
built — by divers for divers — to provide all services in one convenient place.
Due to the prevailing currents found in Cozumel, all boat dives are drift dives. Divemasters will lead every group of
divers. The pace is generally very relaxed. When the currents are running stronger its easiest to go with the flow and
let the current carry you over the reefs and through the passes. Naturally some dives are more advanced than
others and your guide will help to evaluate your diving comfort level so they may suggest dive sites best suited to
your skill level. Dive sites are between a 10 minute and 50 minute boat ride from the resort. The newest site in
Cozumel is the wreck of the Felipe Xicotencatl located very close to the resort on nearby Tormentos Reef. The resort
makes trips there daily (minimum 4 divers) at 3:00 in the afternoon. All of Cozumel’s reefs are protected and
located in a National Marine Park.

Exuma Islands & Eleuthera, Bahamas
Aqua Cat - The Scuba Diving Luxury Live-aboard of the Bahamas
June 18 - 25, 2016
Join us on the Aqua Cat in the protected waters of the Exuma’s Land & Sea Park where the marine life is large and
plentiful! Join us for a scuba diving and snorkeling adventure as we cruise from Nassau to the Exuma Islands in the
Bahamas on the 102' catamaran - Aqua Cat. This is the ultimate escape aboard your own private luxury yacht. No
crowds, no set itineraries, nothing to do but sit back, relax and choose from an incredible variety of activities
including scuba diving, snorkeling, kayaking, sunbathing, and island exploring. With meals, bar, scuba diving and
water sports included in the price, Aqua Cat is comparably priced to a Caribbean luxury cruise or resort vacation,
only the service is much more personal.
Divers and photographers will find marine life in the Exumas some of the most prolific and varied of any coral reef in
the world. Aqua Cat enables you to scuba dive remote walls, wrecks, and coral reefs with sharks. While the
Northern Exumas are only 30 miles from Nassau, there are no daily dive operations in this area. You can experience
truly virgin diving. The Exumas have walls starting at 40', as well as drift, reef, and shark dives. There is a large
Blue Hole between Nassau and the Exumas. For over 30 years, much of the northern Exumas has been a National
Underwater Park with no fishing, spear fishing or collecting allowed. Because of these laws, there are miles of
undersea gardens in which coral, sponges and fish abound. Turtles, rays and sharks are seen regularly on most dive
sites. Goliath grouper truly are gargantuan in the Exumas!
