do all cozumel boat dives start at 80 feet (approx.)?

Skittles, not sure about the details of your spinal cord damage but, I have rather significant spinal cord damage. I have been below 100' many times with no resulting problems at all.

... i can't get on a dive that will max out at 60 feet all day?

Tell them your from the cruise ship and they won't let you or the other 45 customers on your dive boat anywhere near the wall dives.

Carnival advertises their first dive as likely to be Santa Rosa wall.

Which I find a bit terrifying (not the wall)...

Was there a fatality a few years ago of a cruise ship passenger (female) at Santa Rosa wall?

I remember years ago, when I first got certified in 1990, Dive Computers either didn't exist, or were only available to a very select group of divers (i.e., those willing to pay enormous sums),

Yep, those early dive computers were very cumbersome with all the vacuum tubes and magnetic tape spools. The punched cards got soggy too.

Yep--all potential failure points. That's why the minimalist approach advocated the Dive Abacus instead.

Psssssssssssffffffffffffffff..... Dive computers....Tape spools...punch cards....abacus's...you guys are far to complicated!

Grab that LP72 with a J valve and jump...when that reg suddenly goes dry and your eyes bug slightly ...pop off that last 500 psi and head on up!

Fancy smancy dive people...geeeesh!!
