The top 5 teams will be declared the Ultimate Diver Team. Of those ten, divers will then compete individually to determine which one of the ten will be declared the “Ultimate Diver” as chosen by the panel of judges.

This year’s event will be produced as a television show, which will be hosted by Evelyn Vaccaro, an avid scuba diver who has traveled the globe. The “Ultimate Diver Challenge will be produced as a “reality show” and is expected to be transmitted in several USA TV channels such as CBS and NBC. There will also be an Educational Activities Day to allow the local children from Cozumel to experience and learn about the beauty in the underwater world.
