Dressel Divers Cozumel Alternatives

[rfield54]

My wife and I have stayed at Iberostar Cozumel and dove with Dressel many times over the years, but were wondering whether anyone out there has had experience with other dive operations while staying at Iberostar. (the Dressel boats are too crowded for our tastes)

Thanks, Roy

Aldora will pick you up on the pier. They have big tanks, small boats, pamper you, and match groups by experience/skill.

There is a whole COZUMEL Forum with thousands of posts on it, just up above in the Destinations section. You'll get more recommendations than you can imagine there...

Thanks for the replies. I'll check out Aldora, and I went ahead and posted this question in the Cozumel forum . . .

I use ProDive usually because they are on site at the Occidental and offer free Nitrox! If I were to use another op...

Aldora
Tres P
Christy's op

would be my 3 choices....but there are many many more equally as good....

My hubby has been diving with Dive with Martin for 20 years.

So what does that have to do with the original thread of having experience with other dive operations while staying at Iberostar?

DWM picks up at the Ibero frequently.
I don't think Aldora does though.

Ibero pier isn't private? So unless those alt ops are paying for it, I don't see how they could pick you up there?
Also, I see the crowded boat thing pain... but IMO the location is too convenient to go for another op (do they leave you using their facilities before and after the dive?).

Not sure if Aldora is allowed to (or chooses to?) pick up from the IB pier but regardless if they do then a “+1” for diving with them while in Coz. from me. We’ve stayed at the IB in PDC and dove once with the onsite Dressel op while we were there - would not do it again.
