Diving in a current can give the impression of flying underwater, of sliding. Knowing how to mobilize and conserve yourself in water with current, and make the most of it, can be learned. In the PADI Drift Diver course, an experienced instructor will give you tips on drift diving and you’ll practice buoyancy control, navigation, use of surface signal equipment and communication with your buddy
Cozumel is a perfect playground to learn drift diving. Its moderate to strong current to the south of Cozumel will be a perfect training ground to gain the necessary experience to feel comfortable… it’s an art to get stuck in the course and watch the movie without making much effort.
