Dave,Dave Dillehay:Been here 12 years and have heard "stories" about divers being carried away by down currents, but not one has been confirmed since i have been here. Can you elaborate? On the other hand, being the number 1 site,by far, for dive visits, and being #2 in DCS hits should tell you that Cozumel is safer than the other places!

I'm really not trying to pick on you or Aldora here, I'd like to say that up front.
However, you represent yourself as being a 12 year local and in some way affiliated with Aldora. I am personally curious, since Aldora gives "extra" bottom time to newer divers with the larger tanks:
How does Aldora's accident rate (i.e. chamber trips) compare to other shops?
I understand you may be hesitant to answer this, especially if the information is negative or worse yet inclined to fudge some figures. I assure you I have no intention or reason to slander Aldora, I'm just curious. I feel that for the most part divers who have been at it a while are more limited by NDL's than air in typical Cozumel dives so I assume (correct me if I'm wrong) that you cater to newer divers. I wonder how the "extra" bottom time for such divers affecs your rates.
