Finding the perfect dive operator in Cozumel is really a matter of deciding what you want service wise, and then how much you're comfortable spending. Prices range from about $50 up to $90 for a 2-tank trip. There's no one best dive shop. They all have their loyal customers. They all dive the same sites. The price difference are for the little extras like towels, water, snacks, beach SI's, gear storage, larger tanks or steel tanks, smaller groups, no extra charges for the farthest southern, more advanced or northern dive sites, personalized service, etc.
My personal preference is Living Underwater www.livingunderwater.com They offer what I like and I feel their price ($85/2 tank) is worth what I get for the money. Jeremy is very service oriented. He offers low pressure steel 95 and 120 tanks, a comfortable fast boat with a shade canopy, beach club SI's, towels, water and soft drinks, fresh fruit, snacks, towels, jackets, gear storage including wetsuits. No extra charge for the far southern sites, east side or northern sites. I like his diving style too. Dive sites are chosen each day by the divers onboard. Jeremy takes it slow and you'll have time to really enjoy the dive. He also got a real knack for finding the smallest obscure things. Almost all our dives are well over an hour and I've had a few that are just shy of 2 hours.
