I returned from a very nice trip to Cozumel a couple of weeks ago. I went with my wife, and we stayed at the Presidente for 8 nights. I dove for 7 days (2 tank morning dives) and my wife dove for 6 days. The hotel had just finished some significant renovations last year, most of which were nice changes. My wife had some serious health problems last year, so this was her first time diving in over a year. We dove with Scuba Du, which is the on-site operator at the hotel. We hired a private dive guide just to play it safe. He was great, and it was nice having a private spotter. The diving was fantastic, as always, and the hotel was excellent. We particularly liked a new restaurant that was installed during the renovation, called El Cap, I believe. Food was great and the view was wonderful. We have been to Cozumel several times before, and the diving was as good as I remember; the visibility was fantastic. Sponges added great color to the reefscapes. the assortment of fish and the density of fish were both as good as I remember.
