The Scuba Diving International Congress (Congreso Internacional de Buceo) comes to Cozumel from October 15 to 18, 2026. It brings together specialists and organizations from across the dive world to talk about safety, technology, professional training, conservation, communication and dive operations.
For us it is about the reef we dive every day: field research, tracking technology, environmental education and applied conservation are on the program, next to DAN's safety seminar and hands-on workshops on the beach. Entry is free, and dive students are welcome.
