Chili Charters & Safari Inn or Casa Mexicana

Join us for this great annual trip to Cozumel. Enjoy a week of diving in waters that have been protected as a marine park for almost 20 years. Many great fish finds await - including the endemic Splendid Toadfish, only found there. When not diving, you will enjoy all the wonderful food and culture that Mexico has to offer, as well as daily seminars by Cozumel local and long-time REEF Expert, Tracey Griffin. This popular trip always sells out early.
