If for whatever reason you can't make it to Cozumel, I have the next best thing

here you go

 
Although October is the rainy season, it is my favorite time to visit. Loging is about half of what it would cost during peak months, less crowded, warm water, although it still is hot, evenings are comfortable. I once visited in March and the weather was near perfect. Last year I visited in Feb. A norte closed the port for two days. I was cold during the surface intervals and the water was chilly. I swore off going in Feb again. My plan for this year was to visit Curacao in Feb. Airfares were twice the cost of Cozumel, and my favorite lodging was booked up. I ended up renegotiating on my promise to never visit again in Feb. Hoping for better conditions this Feb.

Carnival parades February 18, 19 & 21st 2023. Lots of other small parades and block parties for the month prior.

The moon is photoshopped in. It's at the wrong place in the sky at the wrong time of night and there is no reflection of it in the water. Nice picture, though.

In defense of Gopbroek, I'm sure that's exactly what he saw thru the camera lens after his third Margarita !!!

Stock photo, but in my defense I have never got up on a float with just three margaritas in me. Several times I have fallen while attempting to climb back on the Rasta float and was almost run over.

we didn't have great conditions this Feb either. Nortes, crazy changing currents and diving closed in the southern sties our whole trip. Trying again this October.
