hi there,
I have not been to Coz yet- I am booked for thanksgiving. We are staying at the cheaper occidental- the allegro resort and have actually just booked with dive palancar. Before you make you dive operator decision I thought I would share what I have found out in the last 3 weeks of planning.
There are tons of operators with varying differences for experienced divers. If you are advnaced divers, you might want to consider the smaller operators north in the town and go on a smaller boat.
I emailed most of the operators listed on this message board, but the proble I encountered is that they will pick you up from the dock at the occidental, but do not guarantee to drop you back. Several operators said they often drop off back at their shops in the north- then you would need to cathc a cab (with dripping ger) back south - aparently about 17bucks.
All of the operators said they do not pick up for the afteroon dives.
Obviously this is just the response I recieved, but it is somethign to consider.
We are advanced divers, but not used to drift diving- we have booked with palancar for ease and plan to do some shore diving in other sopts. Dive palancar have good reports, but they run larger boats- so if you want the more intimate dive experience, then search out the other operators.
