Why fight the current when you can use it to fly effortlessly across miles of bottom? Drift diving is a popular activity along the Atlantic coast and in many resort destinations, such as Cozumel. It eliminates most of the work and many of the hazards associated with diving in strong currents. And, it’s fun. Lots of fun.
The PADI Drift Diver course is designed to help you master the common protocols and procedures for drift diving, while at the same time minimizing many of the potential risks. It is a very “hands on” program and the best part is, you get to go drift diving.
