2025 Cozumel Scuba Adventure Interest, Part 2
2024 Update: I would like to re-send this survey out as I get more serious about planning this trip. I’m thinking early to mid June makes the most sense so we really need to get cracking on Scuba Certification for those that will need it. I will check for group rates on that shortly. I will be in Cozumel soon and intend to coordinate a group deal (if possible) in person at that time. No commitment, but hopefully a firm price. But I would like to give a more accurate count of how many we might be bringing. Please fill out this form and reach out to Mr. Bielkiewicz directly if you have any questions beyond the scope of the form. And we will require Scouts participating in the Scuba to be 14 years old or completed the 8th Grade by the date of the trip. Thanks!
I would like to run a High Adventure Scout trip to Cozumel in Summer 2025 (Dates TBD) primarily to go scuba diving. I’ve found a resort that has all-inclusive packages which include diving for 7 nights at approximately $1200 per person, however we would have to work out some details such as if people aren’t Scuba Diving but want to go to the resort anyway and possibilities on group discounts if we bring enough folks. For now, just assume the price is around $1200 plus flights and other incidentals. Also, for those who are not certified to Scuba Dive yet, you would need to be fully certified prior to our departure and that component isn’t cheap or quick. However, this can be coordinated as a group to get certified which can be a lot of fun, including the required open water dives (can be done locally, in Blue Hole, NM, or at Homestead Crater, UT). Total cost can be around $700 for the classes and open water dives plus lodging if we do it out of town.
We realize this is an expensive trip, overall, and want to plan early so there’s plenty of fundraising opportunities. Since this would be classified as a High Adventure, Scouts participating would have to be 14 years old (or completed 8th Grade) but that includes most of our current Scouts since we’re almost 2 years out.
We want to get an idea of how many might be interested in such a trip/experience.
