Finding a (Best) Dive Op in Cozumel

[jonhall]

This fellow is asking about Cozumel Adventures dive op but I don't see them listed?

Thanks Don. I just added them and posted to the OP's thread. When I first saw this, I was thinking someone brought in "Cozumel Adventures" similar to "Cabo Adventures" or "Vallarta Adventures" who offer various excursions along with scuba diving - but that's not the case.

Found some info on them from their website, but it would be nice to know if anyone on SB has used them before.

Anyway, the list is slowly getting updated - added Careyitos Divers a few days ago and am slowly updating prices and other pertinent info. Also updated Pepe Scuba as they have changed locations as of Nov. 1.

Just an FYI. I have updated all of the information for every dive op I have in my spreadsheet. The "last update" of information, including prices, is shown in the first column after the dive op name.

I have also included a column with a link to the dive op's website. To go to the website, one has to click on the link to the website which opens a small box with the dive op name - then you click that.

Have also found that anyone wanting to let me know of an update or anything new can 1) highlight the cell with the data to update, 2) click on "insert" from the menu, 3) then click on comment, which will open a comment box. It is more likely I would see updates here on SB before I would notice them on the spreadsheet.

Thanks for the info many of you have provided. I will occasionally update on my own in the future, but will definitely add your updates when I get them.

I just dove with Roberta's in August, Out of ~16 dives, only one was under an hour, my average was 73 minutes. No complaints from the crew, we just had to stay near or under the DM after he sent up the DSMB (on most dives, he stayed near the bottom until about 1/2 the divers were at their SS}.

I suggest to add Blue Note Scuba

PADI 5 Star, has legal and permitted boat plus recently voted as one of the best dive operators.

I've actually had them on the list for awhile, last updated 12/3/23.

one of the best dive operators

Funny, the term "best" goes back to why I put the term in the title of this thread (explained way back in post #1.)

Thanks for the post/link: glad to see a couple of Coz ops on the list.

PADI 5 Star...

That just means they sell enough certs in a year, and haven't been caught violating standards.

I’ve seen recent references to Sharkys, are they listed under different name?
