Most or all of the shops will have prices on their websites too. Depending on how much diving you'll be doing, etc., they may be able to put together a package price. Be sure to let them know exactly what you're looking for. The shops can be a wealth of helpful information.

There are a couple more dining options close to Roberta's. Ernesto's Fajita Factory is right across the street from Village Tan Kah and right next to Scuba Shack. Paprika/Tikila is about 100 meters from Casa del Mar, maybe less. Paprika used to serve the food at Tikila, but that may have changed...

Lol!! This one is great too. Your really captured a personality with these shots!

Reeeeaaaally excellent flamingo tongue picture. That green moray might be my favorite green moray picture of all time!

It's a service the dive op provides so you don't have to think about it. Even in 2022, some of us don't care to be plugged in while vacationing. A call from the dive op saves that need. As mentioned above, it's good customer service. It has nothing to do with anyone needing babysitting. I have...

No good deed..... Posts asking about port closure communication have always surprised me. The dive op I use always called to let me know.

I've never done the mentioned dive, but I saw the biggest turtle I've ever seen on the 3rd dive of my life. That dive was in front of Paamul. I've always suspected it was due to the turtle hatchery at Xcaret.

OXXO is a plus and I'm not ashamed to admit the TVs are a big plus for me. It looks like there's a restaurant called The Butcher Beach and Grill just south. Have you eaten there? How about Le Chevacharia? Any other food that close?

I've never stayed at BA, but I'm somewhat of a fan. That said, I too found the sefeuchs post to be informative and well rounded. It really helped me fill out my understanding of the place. Casa del Mar has been mentioned by a few in this thread. As it checks all the convenience boxes I thought...

I dive a Suunto Mosquito, which is considered to be quite conservative. I've done lots of 4 tank per day diving on Cozumel and average 3 per day on normal 2 week trips. My dives probably average in the 50 to 60 minute range. My profile is as deep as the group profiles. 4 tank days with the...

Loved Prima. Went to Prima after it moved. Wasn't good at all. La Terrazza opened up in the original Prima location. It was owned by someone from Colorado who was bringing in Colorado beef. Anyhow, according to him he got the, or one of the, original Prima chefs. Menu and food was the same as...

Haven't stayed there, but as it is south of the marina, just about every dive op will pick you up and drop you off there.

It was longer ago than that when I dove with them. I think they'd only been in business a couple years when I was there. Most, maybe all of my diving was with Pumba. Nice guy and a good DM. The boat, I'm pretty sure it was The Zeus, was a really great boat for diving. 10 pax, cover, padding...

Years ago I did a week with Blue Magic. Their boat was called the Zeus, or the Xerxes, or something like that. Do they still have that boat? Was it renamed or something? Thanks.

I'm a San Clemente fan too. I've seen green morays out and about every time I've been there. Also saw the largest school of fish I've ever seen there.

I'm not a wetsuit peeer (heh) either. A solution in Cozumel is to go with a shop that does their surface interval on shore. Many do. This is what I do and I also wear plenty of neoprene on top and none on the bottom.

There isn't a cruise ship pier in Playa del Carmen, but there is (was?) a cruise ship pier located at Calica which serves Playa del Carmen. I suspect it's not very large and not very deep.

I've haven't stayed at Xanadu, but I have stayed at Ramon's. Check with Xanadu, but I'd be very surprised if they don't come back to the resort between dives. I didn't see the exact location, but their website does describe dive sites as being 10 minutes from the resort, which is about what it...

Something that was pointed out to me, if you stay at the FA, the dive op world is your oyster. Any shop can and will pick you up at the pier as it's south, just a little south, of the marina. If you stay north of the marina, you either need to get to the marina (one way or another) or dive with...

Deep Blue leaves from the Aldora pier downtown.
