Stayed 5 nights at Hotel Plaza Cozumel and dove 5 days with Aldora.
I booked late and my go to budget hotel, Suites Bahia, was not available. Rumer is they might be remodeling. Plaza was OK, no microwave or fridge but the pool on the roof makes up for it. The included breakfast was not the Mexicana but good enough.
The diving was great. There were a little more particles floating around than normal but not too bad. I was very lucky to get to dive all 5 days with a group of very good divers. When you go solo sometimes you get put where there is room. Dive times were dictated by NDL's. First dives consisted of Columbia deep, Maracaibo, Columbia, Punta Sur and Punta Sur again by choice. Out of 11 dives we got to see reef sharks on 4 of them.
There is a crazy turtle at Columbia that is stealing lion fish from stringers. It is pretty aggressive and gets very close to everyone on their safety stops checking for a hand out.
