Why dive here
With 177+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, bull sharks, dolphins, eagle rays and nurse sharks - Tulum Tours and Airport Shuttle offers some of Cozumel's richest diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
Tulum Tours and Airport Shuttle isn't a dive site you’ll find on many maps, and for good reason-it’s actually the dock where you catch the ferry over to Playa del Carmen for the shuttle to Tulum or Cancun Airport. We’ve all been there, lugging our gear, dreaming of just one more dive. While you can't exactly strap on a tank here, if you're stuck waiting for the ferry, peek into the water. You might be surprised by the sheer number of Doctorfish and Barbers zipping around the pilings, alongside a few curious Hogfish. It's a busy spot, but it shows just how much life there is, even in a bustling harbor. Think of it as a casual snorkel rather than a proper dive.
Safety Notes
Strong currents typical this month (avg 79 cm/s). Good buoyancy control essential.
