I've been reading about different operators, but before I reach out to each shop independently I was hoping to get some guidance from the experts here...
I'll be on Cozumel from January 2nd to January 18th, in 2020...
I'l be staying a stones throw from the Coral Reefs Monument (right by the Playa Del Carmen Ferry Pier), at the Hotel Plaza Cozumel.
From my reading, and relying on the SB recommendations, I'd like to contact Aldora, 3P, Blue XT, and maybe Salty Endeavors.
It seems like Aldora keeps their boats north of Downtown, and they head south past Downtown to the southern dive sites? Do they offer pick-up's along the way, or would I have to go to Villa Aldora to get on the boat?? If they do make a pick up, what would be the best pickup location for me?
Along the same lines... it seems like Blue XT will pick up at a downtown location for $5. The $$ isn't an issue, but where I would be picked up could be. Does anyone have experience with their pickups from the north side of downtown?
With 3P, I've read they'll cover taxi fare, or pick you up in a car? Is this correct of did I misread something? Where do they dock their boats?
With my last operator, Salty Endeavors, how do they handle dives in my situation?
Lastly, just to avoid the hassle of dragging my wet gear around, are all the above operators 'valet' operators, where they store your gear between dives (excluding the wetsuit, I can handle that without issue)?
