I went to Cocoview four or five years ago and the reef was in terrible condition, has it recovered some?

Well, I was checking whether it’s worth the trip before I asked if you wanted to go!I say put a trip together so we can all find out. ;-)

We were in Cozumel a year ago in November and it was the first time I had seen significant deterioration of the reef tgere!These charts don't answer your question specifically but in the big picture it doesn't look good. We'll be in Roatan in March and was in Cozumel in November, will be interesting to compare reef health between the two.
Probably the lack of sunscreen in the water hasn’t hurt either!While there is some bleaching and vomit on the reef in Coz, its wasnt as bad last week compared to last August...the demise of the cruise ships has a definite positive effect on the reefs imho.
