Black Water (Photography) Dive on Cozumel – an ethereal experience!

Robert Stansfield is one of the top photographers worldwide when it comes to Blackwater Diving and reveiling the magic of active creatures in the ocean at night. On the 23rd of November he will spend the evening with us in our Summit Headquater and amaze us all with his breathtaking photos.
Black Water Diving is depending on good weather and flat conditions are needed!
Therefore we did not set a fix date for this experience yet but would like to have those sign up who would be interested in joining such an event!
Blackwater dives are at night over very deep water. However we stay really shallow.
Here is some more general info about it:
  1. Minimum of 4 divers needed to run the boat / max. 15 people
  2. Costs 120 USD per diver including weights & AL80 (Nitrox or bigger tank is available and charged extra)
  3. Divers should bring a strong UW light, full body dive suit and should be confident night diving
  4. Divers joining in need to stay one night on Cozumel before going back to Playa del Carmen the next morning (hotel recommendations will be made once the date comes closer)
  5. Meeting at 7pm Marina Fonatur Blackwater Cozumel https://maps.app.goo.gl/TimdX8ZcwHFRREZR6?g_st=ic The boat used is called “the Splash”. After meeting there, equipment will be prepared by all participants and then leave the port as soon as possible. Robert will give the dive briefing on the way to the drop zone as it’s nice to catch the sunset the way out.The drop zone is approximately 3km off from the reef. We then cast a free floating lighting array. The lights are spaced down the line to give us a visual reference and attract in the crazy critters that we only find well out open water. Then we spend 90min drifting with the buoy. It’s a very ethereal experience! It’s like diving in a swimming pool . There will be no noticeable current. However we will cover normally around 8miles and the animals vary in size from tiny up to super massive.
If you are interested in this event, please sign up here and we will update you with further information when the event comes closer.
After that you can make your final decision if you would like to accept the challenge 🙂
