    Where to stay in Cozumel

    I haven't priced the Park Royal and it isn't really my cup of tea, but it sounds like a pretty good choice. If not there, it sounds like a resort somewhere further south would work too, if you're thinking AI is the way to go. Further south will have better, less congested swimming, not...

    Where to stay in Cozumel

    You could stay at Villa Aldora, north of the square, you could stay downtown and walk to the pier they leave from downtown, or you could stay just about anywhere south of town and they can probably pick you up from the hotel's dock. Some hotels will charge your for using their dock to get on a...

    Cozumel dive center recommendations for base OW PADI certification?

    That's a pretty quick time frame. I'd agree with others about doing what you can from home. If you can get some of it done at home, it might make for a better experience when you're there. Though you are remote, if you have internet access you can do the "classroom" work from home with PADI...

    AOW, Stay and General Advice for Cozumel/Cancun?

    Ditto on going to Cozumel immediately. It sounds like you want to do some diving. MUSA was kinda "meh" in the opinion of a friend who is a bronze artist. The cenotes (which we did prior to the museum on the same day) were the bomb in his opinion. Maybe combine cenotes and the museum later in...

    Question Cozumel Adventures Dive Operator

    Crazy. Coz. Adv. was definitely on your original post in this thread. I went straight to the Best Op. thread, looked at the sheet, and it was on there too. I didn't come back to post on this thread for awhile and only did because I figured someone would have already pointed out that they were on...

    Question Cozumel Adventures Dive Operator

    Did you edit this post? When I first saw this post, it appeared as though part of the spreadsheet was on your post. It's not there now. In any event, on your original post on this thread, Cozumel Adventures was on the sheet, or partial sheet. When I look at the actual spreadsheet on the Best...

    Lautoka, Fiji Diving

    With the shortish time in port, checking to see if the cruise ship offers a scuba diving excursion might be a good idea. If they do, it'd be convenient and also cover the tight turn-around.

    Question Condo in Cozumel

    That text is also part of the fulviocozumelrentals listing for Orchid. The listing for Alegria doesn't mention the location. The location on Paz and Amor listings say something to the effect of, " ...on Avenida 55...located 11 blocks from the water and 14 blocks from the square...".

    Trip Report Dive Sint Maarten - St. Maarten

    I notice that Cozumel isn't on your list. Based on where you've been and your desire to go someplace new, that might be a nice choice too.

    Cozumel (and Cenote) Vacation Video

    I had a hard time watching too, due to the jittery nature of the clips. Fwiw, this doesn't feel like completely user introduced jitter in the shooting. It looks more like a playback/technical sync issue, or something like that, or maybe some kind of stabilization setting issue, or possibly a...

    OW training for children?

    My personal cheerlead would be Sandro Quijada at Deep Blue. It might be difficult for people to make specific recommendations as there are many, many dive shops on the island that have thorough, patient, competent professional instructors that would be suitable for instructing someone of any...

    El Cid La Cieba vs staying in San Miguel

    I would second this recommendation. It would be very convenient for you, plus you'd have easy access to shore diving. From El Cid, it's a quick (<10min?) ride to downtown and will cost about $6 US each way. It will be very quick/convenient to get a taxi at El Cid too.

    Found: Sealife and phone near Palancar bricks

    I may be misunderstanding something, but couldn't you dial one of the phone numbers and ask who it was that dialed them? For instance, maybe there's a contact called "Mom". You could dial the number and say "Mrs. Mom, I found your kid's phone. Is she in Cozumel right now?" Etc. Or maybe the...

    Trip Report Casa Mexicana & Jungle Divers Macro Hunting May 2023

    For a meaningful impact on short, ready to dive when you get on boat diving, I think you'd have to stay far south at one of the AIs. If you dive with the house op there will be no other pick-ups and the trip to the first dive will be quite short. Second site may take a little longer to get to...

    Coz Quick Reference Cheat Sheet

    I would chime in to say that there are also books for Cenotes and Playa del Carmen. Another place one could check is Deep Blue (the dive shop) on Cozumel. I have all three and got them there. Likely they are out, but you could try.

    Tiki-la tanks?

    If Jungle Divers doesn't work out you could try Roberta's Scuba Shack, which is probably 200 feet or so south of Tikila. I've rented shore tanks from Scuba Shack many times, even though I wasn't staying at Village Tan Kah or diving with Scuba Shack. I've rented night dive tanks too, but was...

    1st time to Cozumel Questions

    I haven't stayed at the place you mentioned, but I would echo what others have said regarding AI food. The three times I've had food poisoning were the two times I've stayed AI, once at an AI south of Playa del Carmen and once at an AI in Jamaica, and the one time I ate Domino's Pizza in...

    Coz first time question

    Yes, I'm from and live in North Dakota and also lived in Grand Forks for a time. The diving isn't great, but I like it. Lake Sakajawea, the Garrison Dam and the Dam's tailrace are within day trip shooting distance. The lakes near me are mostly shallow and very low viz, but those dives are like...
