Isla Mujeres? Has anyone been?

After reading the replies and doing some more research, we've scrapped IM and booked flights to Bonaire. Thank you everyone for taking the time to give your advice and thoughts. Very helpful.

Well, quite a change from IM but a great place to dive! Happy diving!

well... I dove in Isla several times with Guido Cocchia and dives were really amazing. Don't forget that every trip must take at least one hour or more. Of course if we talk about divespots around the island I agree 100% with Jupiter31: Isla it's nothing compared to Cozumel.
Anyway Jupiter, if you'll pass to Isla ask to a diveshop for Black Stones, Arrow Smith, "Los picos", Raul's reef, Ultrafreeze wreck... and than you'll tell me what do you think about
Guido is no longer on the island but you can dive with Enrique or Emilio.
Greetings

This is an interesting thread...we have a local dive op that schedules trips to this place (Isla) all the freakin time. I had never heard of it before...nor had I ever read about it in any dive magazines. I just happened upon this thread and now I know the truth. I appreciate the info everyone.
