Just got back from a week in Coz diving again with Salty Endeavors. Consistently 82-83 degrees. Most were diving in wet suits and I brought a shorty. But I ended up not using it at all. 21 total dives over 6 days.

im kinda laughing at this thread today after my lake dive in ft worth saturday... I was in a 5 mil and the water was so cold at the bottom of the lake, it took my breath away and I had to come back up for a few minutes before going back down.
by the time I finished locating 2 slalom course anchors and running new mainlines, I was iced. And after gearing down and getting dry and warm clothes on, they asked me to go back down, i was like hail no!
So looking forward to heater top scuba in cozumel May 4

Holy resurrection! Well I got back over a month ago. I wore my 5 mil with 5/7 mil hooded vest and 5mil socks and still froze everyday. It’s funny how drastically different everyone’s cold tolerance can be. We actually did my longest dive ever which was 110 minutes and I was ready to come up at 60 shivering cold. Still had a blast though. We counted a fever of 13 eagle rays at Cantarel and pretty much had 1-3 on most dives.

Hey, DG. What was the alternative to Scuba Club?
We stayed at Wyndham Hotel Cozumel and dove with Daniel and Sea Life Cozumel. You may remember Daniel as a Divemaster at Scuba Club.
Definitely a different vibe at Hotel Cozumel, but it worked out fine for our large group - 30 plus divers the first week and up to 16 the second week. The big difference for me was the size of the rooms. At Scuba Club I usually had room 14 when there was 3 of us sharing a room. The first week at Hotel Cozumel 3 of us shared a room, and it was very tight.
Daniel was great at arranging the two boats, crews, and other divemasters. Nestor from Scuba Club was a divemaster during the second week. There were always snacks or sandwiches on the boats for the surface interval. I also liked that you were given a water bottle, that you could refill from a large water cooler, instead of the one and done plastic water bottles.
I was not impressed with the on site dive op - Dive Paradise. You had to rent a tank for a shore dive, unlike Scuba Club where you could just sign out a tank. I rented a tank for a shore dive, but had to cancel after taking a bad fall on slippery wet concrete (missed 3 1/2 days of diving and still recovering) and they would not refund what I paid for the tank. They could have easily rented it to another diver.
Overall I think the group was satisfied with Hotel Cozumel and we can't say enough good things about Daniel and Sea Life Cozumel. We have already booked again for next year !!
