He is a libertine. Has nothing to do with the heat, temperature wise.....
What cvchief said.
Besides, the hot tubs at Cozumel Palace are inside the nicely air-conditioned rooms. In addition to the libertine aspects, they're great for rinsing camera housing and dive gear.
June 29th - July 10th with my 2 kids. Our first trip to Cozumel
Staying at the Allegro and most likely diving with Dive with Martin
I want to take my kids on the whale shark snorkelling trip. Anyone has any tips on doing this trip? How to book and who to book with, thanks

AFAIK, the whale sharks are out of Holbox which is probably quite a trek from Cozumel, but I've never done it personally. If no one answers here, you might want to start a new thread or do a search. At the least, your DM should be able to find nurse sharks. Not as big as the whales, but at least they look like real sharks and that should make the kids happy

Now that is multitasking. Only a diver(s)...
Hope you folks have a wonderful time. We have been diving Coz in June the past 3 years. Gonna try Bonaire this summer for a change, but will miss our home away from home. Last June, 3rd week in, visability in Coz was down quite a bit. Had been stormy, and our DM said that had a lot to do with it. In fact, surface was rough that whole week, and the travel down to the southern sites, including the Columbia set, was limited to the point we did not make it. Still great diving Coz though, no matter where you end up.

I have never heard of Holbox, only Isla Mujeres. I understand they are supposedly regulated by the Mexican government in terms of price and water time. Guess I need to do more research.
My son (13) has almost 70 dives in the Bahamas and Belize and had seen many nurse/reef sharks already. My daughter (11) is brand new diver so she will be excited to see anything (she loves seahorse, is there any in Cozumel?). I have over 1000 dives (just over 300 ocean dives) in the past 20 years and I haven't seen a whale shark yet so that is sort of like a dream of mine to see one myself.
I understand they are closer to Cancun so I need to take a taxi from the hotel to the ferry/airport and get to Cancun and from there, get on a boat somehow (so it's a full day event). My question is is there any dive op/tour operator in Cozumel that sells a package that do all the arrangement for me or do I need to book the trip with some whale shark op out of Cancun and do all the travel arrangement myself and try to hook up with the Cancun op when I get there? Thanks
