You know you want to travel to Cozumel—but that’s as far as you’ve gotten. Enter Vacation Connection. This travel agency lives and breathes Cozumel. It’s run by Stacey Burton, a divemaster who knows the island’s reefs, dive operators, restaurants and hotels.

She starts every booking with a conversation, learning whether you’re a beginner or seasoned diver, whether you want to dive nonstop or mix in island touring. Divers book only as much diving as they’d like. However, anyone who books five days or more sees significant discounts.

She books her diving with Dive with Martin, a locally owned company leading underwater tours and teaching scuba for 25 years. Martin runs eight daily dive boats, limiting group size to seven so that every diver gets a more personalized experience. Staff members are locals who have been diving Cozumel for decades.
