It's maybe a mile south of the International Pier on Melgar.
Commute from North Side to downtown for diving - problem?

More specifically, when you are heading south on Melgar and after you pass all the stuff at the La Ceiba/El Cid complex and the cruise ship dock, look for the concrete Caleta sign marking the turnoff on your right. Turn down that road and go about a hundred yards, and you'll be at the Caleta.

It also depends on which shop you are diving with. Some operations will meet you at a dock in town, at least one you can go to the shop in town and they will transport you to the boat, and at least one leaves from the marina north of town. Most shops you can take a taxi to the southern marina as ggun indicated above.
As Harro10 notes, we leave from the north harbor (Puerto Abrigo) making it convenient for anyone in the north hotel zone to reach us with ease and just a minute or two. We also offer pick-up service in downtown San Miguel for those of you staying in downtown (and of course offer pick-up anywhere south of downtown).
Caleta is the main marina where most of the dive boats used on the island come to rest after a day of diving. Some dive operators do not have a location/ storefront anywhere else because it saves them a lot of money. If you look at a goggle satellite map is is just south of the Intercontinental El Presidente hotel. I have been going to Cozumel since 79. Back then there were less than 20 dive operators and a lot of them drove you to Caleta and they didn't have any restrooms 
so you had to go into the woods.

Actually Caleta is just NORTH of The Hotel Presidente.
