Cozumel Water Sports; from North to South

Cozumel water sports and activities are abounding and plentiful on the leeward side of the island. As you might expect, there is no shortage of things to do on Cozumel. This jewel of the Caribbean has always been known for its world class SCUBA diving and snorkeling. But what is less known is that our island has evolved over the years to encompass just about every water borne activity known to man.

This web site will not only give you a comprehensive view of the vast array of water sports activities available on the island, but we will show you where these activities are located (on our interactive map below) as well as give you directions on where to go to help you plan your activities. We want to help make your dream vacation to Cozumel a reality and we hope that you will find this guide useful as well as informative.

So without further ado lets "dive in"!

Starting on the north end of the leeward side of the island you will find the perfect spot to enjoy Cozumel Kite Boarding. This up and coming sport has always been the domain of our long time resident expert Raul de Lille. Their staging area is a sand bar which is located between the north end of the island and Passion Island. If you are interested in partaking of this challenging sport, or if you are just curious, visit our Cozumel kite boarding expert for more information.  Perhaps kite boarding is a bit aggressive for you? Don't worry, be happy! How about some deep sea fishing? Cozumel's channel and drop off has always been famous for world class deep sea fishing. Depending on when you come to the island will also depend on which fish are "running". One of our best deep sea fishing captains can be found through Cozumel Concierge's deep sea fishing planner.

	Fishing boats are moored in two main locations; Porto Abrigo and the Caleta. The picture on the left was taken December 4th, 2008 just as all of the pictures on this web site were taken. It was just another picture perfect day on Cozumel! As we traveled south from Porto Abrigo our next water sport stop was the Stingray encounter area. If you are so inclined you can swim with these magnificent creatures of the sea in their pens. Although I have mixed emotions about this tour, I'll just report it here and let you decide!
	As we traveled south of town along the main road (there is only one main road traveling south:-) the next thing we saw was Sand Dollar Sports staging area for their SNUBA diving spot. That would be the small floats on the lower left side of the picture on your left. Further out you will find our most famous snorkeling catamarans with of course a cruise ship always nearby! One of the next sites that we found on our journey was the headquarters of one of Cozumel's most outrageous attractions! If you have ever wondered what it would be like to dive into the depths in a REAL submarine, this is a chance of a lifetime!
	As we continue southward on our Leeward side trek we come to Playa Uvas (grape in English). There you will find the only location on the island where you can experience the unique thrill of water kayaking in a clear acrylic kayak. Imagine the thrill of having your very own up close and personal view of our world class reef system while paddling along in your kayak! Maybe you just want to lounge around? Chankanaab National Park is the perfect spot to do nothing on a manicured beach while sipping on your favorite beverage. While you're at it why not swim with dolphins! That's right, flipper will be all smiles!
	Now if you are really in the mood for extreme water sports there is always Paradise beach! If you look carefully at the photo on the left you will see floaters, a water trampoline, Caribbean iceberg, and even a jet ski making a wake in the far background! Paradise beach might be a bit on the commercial side but if you want to watch plenty of tourists having fun in the sun, this is definitely ground zero! Or maybe you would like to have a birds eye view of the island. If that be your preference simply strap on your parasail and take off! This is definitely a thrill like no other!
	Water sausage anyone? Mr. Sanchos is the place to bump and jump your way through the water while having a wild ride on the "banana"! Just make sure to hold on because the ride is wild and the last person sitting wins! Whether you are interested in Jet skis, parasailing, scuba diving, snorkeling, kite boarding or any manner of water sports, you will find it right here!
I hope that you find this information useful, and remember, we are the only vacation guide that does not accept payment from anyone to advertise on our site. We are simply about the best that our paradise island has to offer. We hope that you have enjoyed this tour of our many water borne attractions, and we hope that you have the best vacation ever!
