Is now a dangerous time to travel to Cozumel?

[Dom@DiveAdvice]

You should definitely keep your plans for Cozumel - diving is great and the place is probably safer than many parts of the US. And you can still find good value flights to Cozumel.

"I wish they'd also include some statistics such as risk of getting hurt in a crossfire in Quintana Roo versus probability of having a depression episode while overworking yourself in a cold rainy stressful environment.
As far as I'm concerned, it is definitely NOT safe for me to NOT go to Mexico soon."

.......my sentiments exactly !

Not to me! Lost time, dragging all your gear to bus, to fairy, to taxi, nope, fly me direct.

Last time I dragged all my gear to the fairy it wore him out and I ended up having to take the boat instead.

Was there in November and back in February. Mexico is a large country. It is heart breaking what is happening in Mexico, but taring Coz with the same brush as the problem areas of Mexico is like comparing East L.A. to Boulder, Colorado. Go!!!!

I fear dem "fairy's" just ain't what they used to be!

Bless you guys for stating the fact that Cozumel is a wonderful and safe place.
If I say it, it's not nearly as believable as a tourism operator in Cozumel; and it's sad to get messages such as "cancel my reservation; my wife refuses to travel to Mexico what with the violence".
It's the television and the newspapers that don't state precisely where in Mexico something happened that is hurting us. I thank God I live in one of the friedliest and safest places on the planet.
Saludos,
Bill

Going down for the holidays with wife, daughter (6) and Son (4). No place I would rather be.

Cozumel is very dangerous!

Beware of the uneven sidewalks!

My wife, my 2 y.o. daughter and I will be down in Cozumel and diving with Bill (Aqua Safari) the first of the year. Cozumel is safer than any big city in the U.S.

Hola Bill, see you in a couple of weeks. Can't wait.
