The 4th edition of the annual Cozumel Scuba Fest (Dec 8-13th, 2015) was dedicated to advanced divers who could follow Jacques Cousteau’s journey on his visit to the island back in the 1960’s, and become an ambassador for the world´s second largest barrier reef by completing a route of nine reefs during four consecutive days of this six-day event, to receive the official logbook signed by his son Jean Michel Cousteau, become a “Friend of the Reef” and member of the diver network recognized by the Ocean Futures Society.
“We are proud of Javier, and congratulate him on this fantastic achievement. He is very popular with our divers, students and team members, who love him for his passion, comprehensive knowledge about our famous dive destination Cozumel, his expertise in this industry, and dedication to our marine life & conservation. Javier is setting standards for other instructors and is a true asset to not only Pro Dive International, but the entire dive community,” says Jorge Maldonado, Operations Manager Cozumel.
