You can fly into Cancun or Cozumel. Check both for prices and flight times.

From Cancun, once you get out of the airport you'll have about an hour travel time to get south to Playa del Carmen. The cost will be between $8 and $65, depending on whether you want to take the bus, a taxi, shared van or private transfer. From Cozumel it will also be about an hour and cost you about $21 - $10 for the van from the airport to the pier and $11 for the ferry. The ride across is 30-40 minutes.

They are a full service dive shop with a newly redesigned boat. Open the lodging page and see the video of the cottage that they rent. $50.00 per night for 2. Great lunch served on board the boat. Rental equipment included in the dive price. You're gonna love it!

Nice website. Are you a new operation? I haven't heard of Aquaconnection. You refer to the dive op as "they," but from looking at the site, isn't this your dive shop and casita?

Funny, wish I had signed up here before now. I was diving with Dennis last friday (we did a 2 tank cenote dive at Gran Cenote and Taj Mahal.) He has been really busy lately, but he is well worth the time!!!! Great diver, and excellent service. Couldn't recommend him more.

I took Econoklass in December and I would not do it again with luggage. The weather wasn't the best and the crossing was a tad scary. I don't get seasick, but, several times the boat listed so badly that water came right in one side and then out the other. When we arrived in PDC it took them over 5 minutes to dock, and getting off with our luggage was not a fun experience. They used a ramp that was a big arch with a steep up and down pitch.

If you're crossing for the day in great weather and don't have more then a day bag or mesh gear bag, I would take it and save half the costs. Otherwise, take a look at the boat before buying tickets and make the decision.
