Quote from the above trip report that BD posted...
 
 Dressel Divers is great! The boats leave right from the pier. There are morning dives, afternoon and a night dives.
 
 That says it all !!

I've seen pictures of the boats too, nice big ones, (not the rowboats with a motor tied to the back   :D  )  A few of the reviews that I've read have talked about how spectacular the night dives are, with the sounds of the "splendid toad fish" coming out of the darkness.  
 
 soon come... patience.    :D

For those non swimmers, you can still go diving.  It's called Sea Trek.
 
     -
 
 Sea Trek is helmet diving. It's the easiest and most comfortable way to explore underwater. It's as simple as walking and breathing. A space age helmet sits comfortably on the your shoulders while a continuous flow of air provides breathing with ease.
 
 Your hair doesn't get wet and you can even wear prescription glasses. The maximum depth is approximately 20 feet. A sea Trek guide wears a helmet while and divers in scuba gear remain with the group.
 
 Our Sea Trek staff entertains and stays with you every step of the way. If you can't swim, no problem! Sea Trek was developed to allow non-swimmers to explore underwater.
 
 Our professional guides will provide a briefing, review safety procedures and describe the tour. After the tour, you will be able to enjoy unlimited use of Chankanaab National Park and all of it's facilities plus Sea Trek will provide you with FREE snorkel gear rental to use for the rest of the day at the park.
 
 Schedule:     Monday - Saturday ~ Flexible Times
 Pricing:    US$60 per person

another excursion is snorkelling with the whale sharks.  It's not available while we are there, but it looks fantastic.
 
     -
 
  Experience this once in a lifetime opportunity to snorkel with these gentle giants of the sea.
 
 Known as "Dominoes" to the local fishermen in this region becuase of the coloring of their skin, these giant sharks can exceed 30 feet in length. They migrate to this area of the Yucatan pennisula to feed in the abundant plankton filled water and play with their off-spring. This phenomenon only occurs during the summer months in this region.
