Hi all,
My son and I are headed to CCV for the first time! Late March, during our spring break. I have some general questions, for those that have been there before:
1. Shore diving markers - I've seen pictures of the chain and buoys. Is there anything at night? While shore diving at Scuba Club Cozumel, I used to hang a flashlight in the water at the exit, just to make things easier to locate. Anything like this already in place? Any spot to put one?
2. We are on the wait list for a room, and might stay down the beach in one of the Playa Miguel Beach Houses. If so, I was thinking of bringing some food/snacks. Is there somewhere nearby pickup a few supplies? What are the chances of getting the bus driver to make a stop on the way from the airport?
3. What's the dining schedule like? Is it very strict? I sometimes missed dinner in order to take a twilight shore dive in Cozumel. Also, I was rushed to eat lunch, since I chose to shower after the morning dives. How do they handle it? What about non-mealtime food (at the bar??)
4. The resort (and Playa Miguel Beach Houses) all claim to have WiFi. How good is it... really? I was thinking of bringing my 3G-Wifi access point and buying a local SIM card for several Gig. Anyone know if they sell them at the airport, or nearby Coco View? Should I get Claro or Tigo?
5. After getting sick once, I now religiously avoid uncooked or cold food in Cozumel. On Grand Cayman, I ate anything I wanted. What's up with CCV on this front?
Thanks everyone! I'm sure I'll have lots of other little questions we get ready.
