awesome. i've visited Cozumel twice, the first time in '89, and it's by far my favorite place to dive. this brings back lots of good memories. i'm hoping to go back one day soon with my son.
THANK YOU for the AWESOMELY BEAUTIFUL footage. The music and video are OUTSTANDING! SO GREATLY ENJOYED every second of it. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR SHARING.
I dove with Martin many times in Cozumel around 15 years ago and never had a bad dive with him. Glad to hear that they are still going strong. I purchased the dive housing for the Hero2 and tried using it in Barbados last week. To my dismay, the latch popped open one minute into my time in the water and the camera no longer works since salt water got into it. I am now debating on the Hero3+ Black or waiting a few months til the Hero4 is released. Great video and I cannot wait to dive with my replacement camera after watching this video.
Thanks so much. GoPro is pretty good about giving a discount coupon on your next GoPro if you flood yours. I would email them and see if they can help.
Just learning to dive at the ripe old age of 51 (wish i'd done it years ago) and cozumel is definitely on my to do list probably in 2018. Got trips to greece and cuba first and hoping to get enough experience to do my advanced in mexico. Absolutely stunning film. Thanks
You are welcome, maybe I will run into you next year. Make sure to book with Dive With Martin and ask for Mike. I might just be around. Remember everyone if you can breath then you can scuba dive. It takes no great skill and you don't need to be a athlete to do it. Even if you have never done scuba you can take a special introductory dive in shallow water with lots of wildlife to see. Then if you want you can get your certification right away :)
Thanks Mike... enjoyed your video. The best places that I have found are Ningaloo Reef off Exmouth West Australia and Vanuatu. They have everything from Whale sharks to dugongs and colourful reefs seaming with fish. I enjoyed my underway experiences in Mexico and Belize.
We film soulful city walk through's with a gopro, so it's good to see someone filming underwater with it successfully, as we haven't tried this this yet. Thank you I've subscribed and look forward to more.
Wow. Can't wait to see this in person. We have a carribean cruise booked and I'm signed up on a two tank scuba exclusion. Our first cruise took us to Cozumel and hands down this location has the most to see when you snorkel. I'm slowly getting the fam to try scuba diving. I actually got them booked on a casta maya discover scuba while we are down there. Just couldn't sacrifice roatan or Cozumel two tanks. :) I'd love to get them certified for a week long Cozumel trip. Baby steps though since one is paranoid after a snuba exclusion regulator that breathed hard for them.
I am going scuba diving there next week from the carnival cruise! I am super excited but slightly nervous because I've never gone scuba diving in the ocean only springs!
Great video, especially the first sequence of following the tortoise. (6:34) Looks like quite the variety of life down there. Can't wait to use the same camera for something like that.
tortoises live on land. Turtles live in fresh water but sunbathe on rocks or logs regularly. Sea turtles live their entire lives in the Ocean with the exception of crossing the beach after hatching or beaching to lay eggs.
Cozumel is so awesome!! Yes it's drift diving but not normally in a fast currant. Palancar deep has a short through cave that's cool. Lots of eels and lobster that will make you look for butter!! But!! Also barracuda!!! There is a awesome dive shop in the barracuda hotel. Very affordable. The best dive masters!!! I MISS MEXICO,!!
you all probably dont care but does any of you know of a way to log back into an instagram account? I was dumb lost the password. I love any assistance you can offer me
Mike, Nice job post processing all your footage and adding the music. I dive the Playa del carmen / Cozumel area a few times a year and never get tired of it. It is a beautiful, accessible and affordable place to dive. A few questions for us wanna be underwater photographers. Can you tell us what type of lights you used? How many? Is the footage we are seeing actual speed, or did you slow it down a bit for more impact? Keep up the good work and dive safe.
this is amazing footage i actually just bought the go pro black edition i was wondering if you could steer me into some key accessorizes that are needed as well as a external mic that could handle concerts and stuff thanks alot man
Very nice video. Beautiful colors. I guess because you use lights. Correct? What lights do you use? How do you ensure they point same way as camera? Is camera mounted on your head?
The reefs are almost completely back to their previous splendor from the Hurricane in 2005. I would love to do a Black Beard Cruise! Going to Bahamas in January to dive with the tigers and lemons of Tiger Beach!
To anyone considering a dive, just do it. I logged about 5,000 hrs. over 17 yrs. diving from West Palm Beach to Key West, and it never got boring. When you dive open water like this you never know what you may see. And you'll never run out of stories to tell your friends!
Amazing video and even more amazing place :)) so excited to go here next year! Do you have any suggestions of where to stay, best beaches, and best things to do there? Thanks!
I've only been to Cozumel for one day, but I would,d love to stay their about two weeks. Roatan is the also a wonderful place to snorkel at Little French Kay.
Very cool video. I have a request - in the future can you add a little text to the reefs where this was taken? We dive in Cozumel annually, and it will be nice know where this was taken. Strange how I feel I recognize the marine life.
Yes a great dive, however GBR Australia has the most awesome reef and wild life I've ever seen. I've dove the world for the most part. If you have not been that would be your best dives ever. Dive with Tusa T6
Sorry, I meant a certified diver so you can enjoy the reef up close and personal!! I just took the Padi course here on the Island six years ago and it changed my life!!!
You can still snorkel of course and you can try a dive that is called a resort dive where they take you shallow as a scuba diver. If your excursion is booked and the said you don't need to be certified that is probably what it is. So no worries, you will get to see amazing life underwater here. I am very excited for you!
Thank you for sharing! That was beautiful.... I love the music along with the heavenly scenes. I have been diving in Cozumel and like you, simply had to get my certification. Now that I have it I would very much like to shore dive. Is there a good place to stay you can recommend in Cozumel for that? Of course I will boat dive also, but I want to shore dive and practice photography and video. Thanks, and if anyone else has good recommendations I would appreciate that also. An all inclusive would be ideal but I do not want to narrow it down so much there is no place lol!
Ron Really Thanks Ron. I am not to sure on this one but maybe the Park Royal parkroyal.mx/en/park-royal/cozumel or El Cid www.elcid.com/ceiba_beach/. Along that area there they have some places to go in. You might find a sea horse. not a lot of coral but good place to practice and is shallow.
Hey Mike! I am going to Cozumel to dive in Jan. I was considering the Gopro hero black 3 with the back-scatter filter system. How much of this video has the lights running? I am wondering what depth you are at most of the time, but not sure if I can spend the extra coin on the lights. Nice vids by the way.
Wonderful stuff! Great shots - I particularly liked the long tracking shot/close ups of the tortuga and the shot of the 2 filefish, going to the 'cuda. A couple of questions: How did you get 16+ minutes to upload to YT? I've been restricted to 10-ish. And do you think the dual Sola 2000s are worth the investment? Would you buy them again for GoPro? Again, well done!!!
I am land locked myself and live in the Rocky Mountains in Canada....For now :) I plan on moving somewhere where there is warm water year round someday :)
this is an awesome video!!! i found it while researching which gopro to buy for our cancun trip this june. how far in advance can we book our class with you?? thanks!
great video man. I'm going to Playa del Carmen next week. I will have only day of diving, should I do a bull shark/ocean/reef dive or go for one of the cenotes? thanks!
I stay in a condo rental. But I have also stayed at the Iberostar 3 x stars and was great. I have heard good things about Park Royal and Hotel Cozumel is always a budget stay and close to the diving. A real nice place to stay is The Palace.
My first and only time diving (single tank) was in Cozumel. The experience was like heaven under water. Great video! Thank you.
It is like heaven, thank you for your comment!
awesome. i've visited Cozumel twice, the first time in '89, and it's by far my favorite place to dive. this brings back lots of good memories. i'm hoping to go back one day soon with my son.
THANK YOU for the AWESOMELY BEAUTIFUL footage. The music and video are OUTSTANDING! SO GREATLY ENJOYED every second of it. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR SHARING.
You're very welcome, I often have my coffee to this video and enjoy the music as well!
Cheers Mike... i've witness this beauty first hand and i am always amazed at how peaceful the experience can make you feel.
I dove with Martin many times in Cozumel around 15 years ago and never had a bad dive with him. Glad to hear that they are still going strong.

Deep dive, deep colors and deep adventures. Very nice video.
Thank you ebazyli :)
Cancun always allow a nice dive. The warm and crystalline water is amazing.
I got to the Cancun area in the summer to snorkle with whale sharks and manta rays!!
Just learning to dive at the ripe old age of 51 (wish i'd done it years ago) and cozumel is definitely on my to do list probably in 2018. Got trips to greece and cuba first and hoping to get enough experience to do my advanced in mexico. Absolutely stunning film. Thanks
That's beautiful. This is #1 of the things i want to do and can't wait for next year, God willing. Thanks for sharing your experience.
You are welcome, maybe I will run into you next year. Make sure to book with Dive With Martin and ask for Mike. I might just be around. Remember everyone if you can breath then you can scuba dive.

Oh boy, Then that is on the bucket list for sure!!!! Thanks for the comment :)
Really enjoyed the footage swimming along side the turtle. Well done.
We film soulful city walk through's with a gopro, so it's good to see someone filming underwater with it successfully, as we haven't tried this this yet. Thank you I've subscribed and look forward to more.
Thats great I will check out your channel!
Looking to get back to Cozumel soon. It’s world class. Nice video
Thanks hope you enjoy your stay!
Thank you for posting this! Very pretty. The water in Cozumel is truly amazing.
Wow. Can't wait to see this in person. We have a carribean cruise booked and I'm signed up on a two tank scuba exclusion.

My first dive was with Martin too. They were awesome!
great video indeed... and it match perfectly with the music... looking at your video just make me wanna go dive there..
About to go on my first dive trip in Cozumel and loving ur video! Music is great by the way!
Thank you Mimi :)
Beautiful and nice video!

Very nice...I just got back from Cozumel. I need to get one of those video cams for my dives. Thanks for uploading your video.
Thanks for the comment Richard :)
I am going scuba diving there next week from the carnival cruise! I am super excited but slightly nervous because I've never gone scuba diving in the ocean only springs!
You'll love it, open water diving in the Gulf of Mexico is the best.
brittney r I missed the message. Did you go diving. The Dive with Martin scuba shop is right at the Carnival Docks :)
Beautiful work Mike. I enjoyed every moment of your adventure.
Great video, thumbs up from us and cheers from sunny IGY Simpson Bay Marina, Sint Maarten in the Caribbean.
Oh boy would love to dive St. Maarten one day!!!
Great video, especially the first sequence of following the tortoise. (6:34) Looks like quite the variety of life down there. Can't wait to use the same camera for something like that.
tortoises live on land. Turtles live in fresh water but sunbathe on rocks or logs regularly. Sea turtles live their entire lives in the Ocean with the exception of crossing the beach after hatching or beaching to lay eggs.
Great Video Mike! excelent memories from diving down there, thanks
Thanks my friend!!

Cozumel is so awesome!! Yes it's drift diving but not normally in a fast currant. Palancar deep has a short through cave that's cool. Lots of eels and lobster that will make you look for butter!! But!! Also barracuda!!! There is a awesome dive shop in the barracuda hotel. Very affordable. The best dive masters!!! I MISS MEXICO,!!
excelente video ! Me encantaría bucear allí. He nadado en Cancún y vimos muchos peces y algunas barracudas .
This is a beautiful part of the world and your video is fantastic. Thanks for sharing.
You are very welcome !! Thank you for the comment!
I went to Cozumel on a cruise last year. Amazing and beautiful.

Most beautiful video in the world 😍👍🏽 amazing footage!!!
Thank you very much!
excellent video! you've moved mexico to the top of my dive list
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
At what distance do the 2000s have no effect on lighting? Great video. I dive Cozumel every year and can't wait to get back in the water. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing this is so beautiful
Dude the shallow water feels like heaven and I'm going there this summer too no joke
Maybe we will see you there!
The first song made me think of Ocean's 13 immediately!!
Hey, Congratulations, awesome work.
this is amazing footage i actually just bought the go pro black edition i was wondering if you could steer me into some key accessorizes that are needed as well as a external mic that could handle concerts and stuff thanks alot man
really like the background music and awesome video
great video.. peaceful stuff. thank you
You're welcome :)
Like your video, you went to one of the fanciest beach, Quintana Roo, México. You'e a thorough camera diver.
I was in cozumel diving is the best experience in my life the water is so clear and transparent incredible.
I know right!! It is amazing!
Wow what a great video!!!
Great video! Thanks!
Thanks for the comment altitude9.
Great video, well edited and perfect music. Go to the Red Sea, you won't regret it. Thanks for sharing it!
Thank you Mauro, I can not wait to try the Red Sea, I have heard so many amazing things about it!
Hey mike! You met my dad Kirk on the dive with Martin boat! Really impressive work on here, your videos are what made me get a go pro.
LexiLouxoxo Haha, yeah I remember your Dad, great guy. Thanks for the Compliment and enjoy the GoPro!
Very nice video. Beautiful colors. I guess because you use lights. Correct? What lights do you use? How do you ensure they point same way as camera? Is camera mounted on your head?
Nice video! The last time I was in Cozumel the reefs' looked pretty beat down. Check out the Bahammas on a Black Beard's cruise.
The reefs are almost completely back to their previous splendor from the Hurricane in 2005. I would love to do a Black Beard Cruise! Going to Bahamas in January to dive with the tigers and lemons of Tiger Beach!
Awesome video!
Thank you for the video, I hope to get certified in diving so I can do these things too!
I hope you did it!!!
I live right across cozumel, Playa Del Carmen. The beaches there are very nice there to.
To anyone considering a dive, just do it. I logged about 5,000 hrs. over 17 yrs. diving from West Palm Beach to Key West, and it never got boring. When you dive open water like this you never know what you may see. And you'll never run out of stories to tell your friends!

I've only been to Cozumel for one day, but I would,d love to stay their about two weeks. Roatan is the also a wonderful place to snorkel at Little French Kay.
Thank you, my first love was snorkeling and I just recently got my freedive certification. Would love to snorkel Roatan. maybe this year!
Simply amazing. for real.
Love the turtles -! Great shots :)
Thank you tampamichelle. Possible I dove with you in Playa Del Carmen?
very nice clip
Very cool video. I have a request - in the future can you add a little text to the reefs where this was taken? We dive in Cozumel annually, and it will be nice know where this was taken. Strange how I feel I recognize the marine life.
excellent advice!
Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
I love this video 💖👍👍👍
Thank you!
Yes a great dive, however GBR Australia has the most awesome reef and wild life I've ever seen. I've dove the world for the most part. If you have not been that would be your best dives ever. Dive with Tusa T6
Thank you, I would love to dive the Great Barrier Reef someday and thanks for the shout out to Tusa T6 i will check them out!
Hello Mr Mike Gerrie, your is video so fantastic.
Thanks so much!!!
Hey! I'm gonna be in Cozumel on May 5th on the Carnival Dream from New Orleans.
Awesome, are you a diver yet? Better get certified if you are not!!!
Certified?
Sorry, I meant a certified diver so you can enjoy the reef up close and personal!! I just took the Padi course here on the Island six years ago and it changed my life!!!
Do I have to? I don't think I can afford it. It didn't specify that when I booked an excursion.
You can still snorkel of course and you can try a dive that is called a resort dive where they take you shallow as a scuba diver. If your excursion is booked and the said you don't need to be certified that is probably what it is. So no worries, you will get to see amazing life underwater here. I am very excited for you!

Thank you all who have left a comment. You are helping me get more and more views by leaving your comments :).
Mike Gerrie ok
Cool vid :) how much light did you have?
Amazing! I have to do this before I die.
Yes you do!
Beautiful!
Great shots! 4K?
Wonderful stuff! Great shots - I particularly liked the long tracking shot/close ups of the tortuga and the shot of the 2 filefish, going to the 'cuda.

did you use a filter on this dive. I have a gopro 3 and I am going to cancun soon. Great video.
Robert Ray yes I did use a filter. it is in the description
I am land locked myself and live in the Rocky Mountains in Canada....For now :) I plan on moving somewhere where there is warm water year round someday :)
