Cozumel, Mexico Scuba Certifications
Serious Diving, Serious Fun. That's the SSI (Scuba
Schools International) scuba diving motto. Let Albatros Charters (an SSI
affiliate) take you on some amazing underwater journeys. However, if your
journey needs to begin with instructions, let us begin where the sand meets the
waters and the temperature and visibility are always spectacular.
If you are already certified, you don't need to stop at the
beginning. Once you are an Open Water Certified diver, we can take you to
greater education as well as greater depths and horizons!
Scuba diving is a sport that can be shared with friends and
family alike. It is also fast becoming a very popular sport that parents can appreciate with their children. Families that dive together can have great vacation fun together.
Scuba Schools International is a worldwide dive certification agency with state-of-the-art
training programs, standards and materials. As well, our instructors are relocated from the
United States and meet the SSI high qualifications to ensure that you, our customers, receive
the best quality training. At Albatros Charters, we can keep the groups small and/or private
to allow for a more personalized course while still maintaining high standards.
Thinking about getting certified yet you do not want to spend your entire vacation reading?
Why not sign up for a Home Study Course where you get the books from us ahead of time and
spend your vacation diving? We can spend minimal amount of time on reviewing the material
and more time in water with skills. If you are from Colorado you can sign up with our good
friends Baxter Scuba before
coming here for your checkouts. Otherwise, you can actually be learning and certifying
while diving and seeing the marine life while in Cozumel. Either way, we want you to get wet!
