Hi there,
I've done about ~40 dives at Cozumel in the last 3-4 years but I've never dove Barracuda/San Juan. I am going back to Coz last week of July and stay at the northern hotel zone for the 1st time. I wonder if I should try to get to Barracuda/San Juan this time. I hope I can get some advice from folks here who have dove it before.

- I understand it is considered an advanced site with strong current. I assume that just means fast drift dive and you don't really need to fight the current hard to stay near a particular spot, right? (I plan to bring my tiny Scuba Pro Go fins instead of the bulkier Seawing Nova Fins. Go fins have been working fine for me for other Coz sites in the past).
- Are there usually strong up/down currents? Our group and I experienced a really bad one in Komodo a few years ago and it was somewhat traumatizing and I hate those
- Will the site be better saved for the winter instead of now, weather/sea condition-wise.
