Pro Dive Mexico opens new 5 star facility in Cozumel island, introduces “Free Unlimited Nitrox”
Pro Dive Mexico, an organisation that already operates several acclaimed PADI 5 Star Centers along the Mexican Riviera Maya and on Cozumel Island, announced today that another brand new dive facility will be added to the list and will be inaugurated on the 1st December 2013 – just in time for this year’s busy Christmas season. The new dive facility will be located at the Occidental Grand Cozumel, an all-inclusive 5 Star property that belongs to the finest hotels that Cozumel offers today, and features Cozumel’s longest and most beautiful white sandy beach, Playa San Francisco.
“The far southern location of this hotel and diving center ensures such a convenient diving experience to the diver, due to its very close proximity to Cozumel’s most renowned and most spectacular reefs. Here, we are just a few minutes boat ride away from sites like Palancar, Punta Sur or Maracaibo. This enables the diver to enjoy an early morning 2 tank around the corner of the hotel at world famous reefs, to be back at the hotel around noon where they can kick back and relax for the rest of the day – a true divers delight!” states Pro Dive Mexico Operations Manager Maria Jose Lledo Jara.
Along with this inauguration, Pro Dive Mexico also announced the upcoming birth of their brand new “Free Unlimited Nitrox” program.
“In the past we had to limit our free nitrox program to only one free Nitrox fill per person a day, because we used a continuous blending system requiring the purchase of expensive oxygen. In the future, we will be blending with a modern and state of the art membrane system, making our Free Nitrox program a truly unlimited one. No purchase of oxygen will be required any more and we are happy to pass this 100% saving on to our divers. Even a diver who dives 4 or more dives a day will be able to do all those dives on free Nitrox. That is what we call true “Free Unlimited Nitrox”, and this is actually pretty unique in Mexico”, Maria Jose Lledo Jara adds.
The “Free Unlimited Nitrox” program at Pro Dive Mexico will be introduced firstly at all of their dive center locations in Cozumel island and will then be followed by their Riviera Maya locations in Spring 2014.

Love Camouflage with DYNAMICNORD
Whether freediving or diving – everyone cuts a great figure in the new camouflage suits from DYNAMICNORD.
Thanks to the specially designed camouflage pattern in beautiful colours, the new two-piece
SFS-3 and SFS-5 apnea suits are perfect for freediving. The design gives freedivers the chance to observe underwater creatures from a shorter distance.
Due to the robust and high-quality Yamamoto neoprene and high-quality workmanship, the SFS-3 and SFS-5 are also suitable for scuba diving or other water sports.
As the names suggest, the suits are available in 3 or 5mm neoprene thickness. A combination of high-quality Yamamoto #39/45 Limestone neoprene is used. This material is characterised by its special lightness and flexibility. The suits are extremely flexible and comfortable to wear while providing maximum thermal insulation. The outer flex lamination supports the ultra 4-way stretch. Thanks to the open cells, the suits fit like a second skin.
The double-clip beaver tail is a convenient system for donning and doffing. Reinforced knees and rear ensure the necessary robustness. The vented hood allows excess air to escape.
The MC-15 freediving mask and SC-10 freediving snorkel with camouflage pattern as well as the AF-70 freediving fins are available in matching colours.
The camouflage SFS-3 and SFS-5 apnea suits are now available from DYNAMICNORD dealers in great colours and unisex sizes.

Sizes unisex: S-2XL
Colours: camo/blue, camo/green
