We're in COZ right now. DWM is great and more "personalized". Walter was our DM and was beyond perfect. We're are diving with blue magic run by Yval an American Ex Pat, Santos runs the shop and have dove with Pumba ((20 years as a DM in Coz) and Master for a night dive. So far the diving has been great. Blue Magic Runs out of Caleta which is maybe a 5 minute ride from the International Pier. You might be able to email Yval and set it up so you take a taxii to Caleta instead of going to the dive shop. blue MAgic dive shop is always back into town (Turn right at Ron Jon)then literally turn around and go back to Caleta. Yval is great and a cab to Caleta would be probably $4.00. Diving is great, seas a little rough, and bring a coat or towel for the trip back in. It's cloudy so it's chilly in a wet wetsuit. We have been back in by 1:00 every dive except for today and we were back by 2:00 because the boat had a linkage issue and we had to get another boat loaded and ready. blue XTSea is another operator that frequents this board, I emailed her and she was absolutely willing to accommodate cruiser's needs when we cruised down in October.
have fun, you can't go wrong, the diving will be amazing with whoever you choose. Safe travels.
