Diving courses launched in Mexican Caribbean

Friday, 14 Sep 2007 08:52
Three new scuba diving courses in Mexico have been launched by volunteering specialist Global Vision International.

The courses, which run for between three to 12 weeks, are designed for divers of all levels and take place on Cozumel Island, Mexico's biggest island located in the Caribbean.

The courses are structured according to PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) guidelines, and there are also options to learn about marine biology, from the dangers to coral reefs to identifying different underwater creatures.

The island is also a great place for a scuba diving holiday as water visibility is between 30 to 60 metres, and marine life includes dramatic sights such as giant green moray eels.

"Not only is this trip great fun, but people will also be taught how to dive responsibly. We teach and promote sustainable diving so that these beautiful underwater landscapes can still be enjoyed in years to come, something that really differentiates GVI's courses from others on the market," commented Tabitha Symonds from Global Vision International.
