So why does Cozumel Palace have Aquaworld on-site?If they sucked or had issues, the Presidente would boot them in a second.......top hotel has a top op.

What does that have to do with the Presidente?
Mossman said: So my experience is that it's better to stay away from the house ops at top hotels and instead just research and find the best dive op period and use them unless the convenience of using the house dive op is a deciding factor
Mike said: I've seen their dive schedule for the week with their sites all pre-selected too, all based on a dumbing down of the dive experience in Cozumel because of their typical divers on their boat from the hotel.
Actually, another view that I'm just now considering. Besides convenience, one might be offered a package deal that includes lodging and diving. If there is such a package that combines a room at the Presidente and 2 tanks a day with ScubaDu that saves one significant money, that might be another reason to consider them. In the case of package deals, however, one may be limited to the cattleboats and not have the option of upgrading to fast boats or doing advanced sites (and if one can upgrade, there will usually be an extra cost).mossman and Mike, interesting views that I had not considered. The OP is apparently well experienced so I would suggest finding a dive op that is more likely to visit some of the more challenging sites...if that suits your diving needs.
