Arrival And Departure Information
All expedition members are picked up and dropped off at Cancun International Airport, provided they arrive within allocated dates / times. From here, you are transported to and from the expedition base via Tulum. You must arrive on the published start date of the expedition, preferably the day before.
Please Note: Anyone wishing to join for the second five-week phase of a ten-week expedition must already be a qualified diver. If you would like to join the second five-week phase of a ten-week expedition and are NOT a qualified diver, GVI can offer you the opportunity to arrive in Mexico seven days early to complete your dive training before the start of the expedition. The cost of doing this will be an additional £100 / US$185 / €150 on top of the NON-DIVER price (see above). Please contact the GVI office for more information.
