Thanks for the update. Is that diving amount for 5 x 2-tank morning dives, or does that include a night dive or 2 also?

That is for 5 2-tank morning dives only. Aldora is not cheap but we are bougie divers, We put our money into quality, valet diving and save on the hotels and airfare whenever possible.Thanks for the update.

Cool. If you've not done night dives in Cozumel before I'd say adding 1 or 2 is worth it, whether with Aldora or doing a night shore dive with a dive op like ScubaJuan at Hotel Barracuda ($40/person) or Jungle Divers. On our trip in August we saw lots of cool critters on our night dive with ScubaJuan - in addition to eels, crabs, octopuses and other usual suspects, it was my first time actually seeing squid in Cozumel (we saw a group of 3).That is for 5 2-tank morning dives only.

We frequently see reef squids while night diving at Blue Angel, but oddly enough we do not often see them on boat night dives out on the reefs.Cool.

ggunn, a bougie diver is a lazy diver that likes for someone else to do all the work. Carry the tanks, set up the gear, maybe even take my gear off in the water so I don't have to strain to get back in the boat. A bougie diver likes a nice boat, a fast boat but also big and it must be covered. Also, we like nice snacks like homemade bandana nut bread and the finest of fruits!What is a "bougie diver"?

I go to Cozumel 4 times a year. Barracuda is a crappy hotel. I can help you build a nice package for Cozumel. I'm thinking of going in January also.Just got back from a 2 week trip to Roatan! I feel like I need more diving! I’m working on a 6 night trip to Cozumel in January. I already got plane tickets for $244 which requires a bag drag but that’s ok! Can you help me build an economy trip? I have Bonaire on the books for 2024 too so I need to be financially responsible! . I was looking at the Barracuda but can’t figure out how to book with them. They haven’t answered my email! Their website is terrible! Any and all suggestions would be appreciated! The option for shore diving is a bonus!
