Scuba Club Cozumel:
Pros:
1. Closer to town if you like to walk instead of taxi
2. More rooms available, means more people, more socializing
3. More DM's, consistent DM staff
4. More food, buffet style for breakfast, dessert included with lunch and dinner
5. Internet accessbile from every room.
6. Offer juice and water between dives. Can grab fruit from breakfast buffet for snacks between dives.
7. Usually have a fun fiesta night every Wednesday, tons of delicious mexican food and pinata on the beach at sunset.
8. More hammocks available...more inviting set up for hammocks.
9. Better locker situation, not as DAMP feeling. More lockers available. Easier to access.
10. Breakfast, lunch and dinner offered 7 days a week.
11. Alarm clock in room. You always know what time it is.
Blue Angel
Pros:
1. More laid back atmosphere
2. Green grass under your feet versus concrete and sand
3. Massage available ocean side
4. Much nicer pool area, bigger pool
5. Nice palapa built over eating area on second floor, feels cooler and nice ocean views
6. Offers twilight dives, afternoon dives, night dives most days. (Sundays excluded)
7. Internet available, but mostly from lobby and restaurant. If you are lucky you might be able to get it from your lanai. Some have gotten from their room, but not as a rule.
8. Provide locks for locker system
9. Tanks of air available 24/7 without checking them out.
10. Awesome shore dive next to sting ray pen. Easier access to shore dive.
11. TV in your room. Could be a pro or a con!
12. Every room has ocean view.
13. Weights always available on boats.
14. Offers water, fruit, and some type of carb during surface intervals.
Scuba Club Cons:
1. Slower boats...adds 1 hour usually to the day. (half hour or more one way)
2. No "twilight" dives like BA. Afternoon dives unusual.
3. Tipping with cash in envelopes at the end of your stay is the norm for waitstaff, cleaning staff, maitre D, DM's the way they do on cruise ships!
4. Bring your own lock
5. Must check out tanks of air before they close at 5:30 or 6pm for shore diving.
6. No TV available. Could be a pro or a con
7. Some rooms no view at all.
8. Given weights at the beginning must take them on and off boat each dive.
BA Cons:
1. Locker system consists of plastic bins, harder to access and feels more DAMP as a result. Water doesn't drain well and collects on the cement floor. Smaller area.
2. Walk to town not as practical. Most people would likely take a taxi after long day of diving. Taxi fare a bit higher to town.
3. Internet access: would be nice if you could access from your room.
4. No dinner service available on Sunday. Need to fend for yourself. And they don't always let you know this.
5. No alarm clock or any other time telling device in room
