    Cozumel 2016

    What he said. My daughter and I have been diving for 12 years, we've been to Cozumel probably 15+ times, and we've stayed at the Hotel Cozumel every time, and dove with Dive Paradise every time. It's always just been the perfect combination for us. I can't really add anything that others on...

    Lionfish - what dive shops will let you hunt?

    Agree with this, we just got back on Friday night from a one week trip to Cozumel doing at least 3 dives a day, every day, and we covered darn near the whole side of the island, from Maracaibo to the south all the way up to Villa Blanca. We saw probably 15-20 lionfish the whole week, I will...

    My Cozumel Blog

    LOL, feel your pain on that one. I have to budget $60 a DAY when we're gone to board these furball Yorkies of ours. Some days I think I'm in the wrong line of work!

    Eels you have seen in Cozumel

    LOL, for sure. That would explain the Stetson-wearing little gremlin that was riding on the back of it with chaps, boots, spurs, and a six-shooter.

    shore dive in Cozumel

    What he said. My daughter was 11 when we went to Coz, both of us with fresh C-cards, we got our own boat the first day, then went with an operator the rest of the week but got a separate DM for just the two of us, I think we paid $15 for a two tank dive or something ridiculously inexpensive...

    Eels you have seen in Cozumel

    Amen to that. We saw one out swimming a few years back during a morning dive, that darn thing looked like it was 20 feet long, maybe longer, and as big around as a telephone pole. And it was, of course, on a dive that we DIDN'T have our camera with us. I mentioned it to another diver the next...

    Trip Report Hotel Cozumel and Dive Paradise

    Your point is a fair one on the morning dives. We've gone with Allison a couple times (loved her, GREAT experience), but that's been about it. We always take the DP fast boats on the morning dives, and they'll take you pretty much anywhere. I like their Experienced Diver trips as well...

    Aldora Adventure/Sleeping Sharks dives

    I was told one time by a DM, who will go unnamed, that if you get stung by a lionfish, or a jellyfish, and you don't have any hot water on the boat, then unzip your wetsuit and pee on it. Supposedly the heat and the ammonia in the urine helps the sting?? Is this urban legend and was he BS'ng...

    Trip Report Hotel Cozumel and Dive Paradise

    My daughter and I have been going to Coz for 11 years, a few years we've gone twice, so I think we're at 15+ trips now. We've stayed at Hotel Cozumel and dove with Dive Paradise each time, as a matter of fact I just confirmed our reservations yesterday for this year's trip, in March. Your...

    For the fun of it. Who's your dive op?...

    My daughter and I started going to Coz about 10 years ago, right after we got our cards. Our first trip we stayed at Hotel Coz and went with Dive Paradise, basically for the only reason that our dive instructor here in TN recommended them. 10 years and 150+ dives later, we're still staying at...

    A Very Cozumel Navidad - Lista Diciembre 2013

    Paige and I had to reschedule our trip, we got too jammed up in December. That's the bad news, the good news is that we'll be going in January before she goes back to school. Sorry, guys, but I hope that everyone has a safe and fun Xmas dive season. Robert

    Is Dive Paradise truly as bad as the reviews?

    My daughter and I go to Cozumel all the time, we're probably around 9 trips or so thus far. We always stay at Hotel Cozumel, and always dive with Dive Paradise, and that's right at 150 dives total so far. We've also taken the odd side excursion here and there with other operators, Aldora being...

    Cozumel in October?

    Agree with DjDiver - my daughter and I have been to Coz several times in October, along with trips in mid-summer and also in March. No real differences that I can remember, as noted, the dives are all good, all the time. Now, if you go in January when the eagle rays are around, that'll make a...

    Diver lost 15 Jan 2013 Cozumel

    My daughter and I are at Coz right now, we still don't know much other than the diver was female, no info on experience or anything else. We've heard some rumors about this and that but I won't repeat them here as I have no idea how credible they are. She was with the same operator we're...
