You know you're a cozumel Diver when?

[PhilaDallas]

I will hop in on this even though I only have 11 dives (all in Cozumel). This is related to another thread in the beginners section.

When you don't know what people are referring to when they say "free ascent" or "blue water ascent".

I had no idea since all of my ascents to this point have been free with only my buddy, dive guide, and depth gauge to verify my safety stop depth.

You know you are a Cozumel diver, when you think the viz is just ok when it is 75 feet.
I think I have about 120 Cozumel dives or so and still haven't done Devil's Throat, no real need to either.

When you go crosseyed when a diver tells you that he/she prefers another dive destination because the boat is moored and he/she can SWIM to/from the boat and around the site!!!

"You know you are a Cozumel diver when"...

You request to dive the Gardens, Bricks, or the French Lady and your DM actually knows exactly what you are talking about..
