Zero Gravity Scuba Equipment - Cozumel

Zero Gravity, or as we call it, the drift diver’s dream. This isn’t a wall dive, it’s more like flying a scenic route over a busy city. You’re not fighting current here, you’re becoming one with it, letting it carry you over expanses of mustard hill and lettuce coral. We particularly love the feeling of gliding past enormous heads of maze coral, knowing there’s barely any effort involved. Keep an eye out for the smaller stuff tucked away in crevices. We’ve spotted plenty of dusky and mottled jawfish here, always a treat to watch them dart back into their burrows. And if you’re patient, the mushroom scorpionfish are masters of camouflage, blending perfectly with the reef. It’s a site that rewards those who can relax and let the reef come to them. Our advice? Go with a larger group, it really adds to the sense of shared adventure as you all zoom along. This is a site best for divers comfortable with a good pace, ideal for those who want to cover some serious ground without kicking a fin.
