Just wondering about shops that tend to offer later dives. I know some do, assuming they have enough people. I'd be coming from the West Coast of the US and it's about a 2-3 hour difference in timezone. I like to sleep in on vacation and would prefer not to rush for a 7:30-8am departure. Any thoughts on shops that go out a little later?
Later dives?

I believe dive times are listed in the detailed spreadsheet (also now a Google doc) also in this Cozumel section. However, off the cuff here are a couple of options:

Latest morning dives I recall seeing: 11 a.m. with Sea Horse ::Scuba:: I have not dived with them yet.

Deep Blue has a 9am departure. They have boats that leave from downtown and can pick-up at hotel piers south of downtown.
OP
Where are the spreadsheet and Google doc version posted?

Finding a (Best) Dive Op in Cozumel
First let me reminisce: a year or so after joining SB in 2009, I read a thread about the best dive op in Coz with people cheerleading for their choice. I found myself looking at the different websites of those dive ops and was surprised by how many claimed, on their webpages, to actually be the...

Most shops I have dove with will do an afternoon dive also. Salty Endeavors, Challenge Divers, and others often do an afternoon boat if they have customers
Blue Angel usually runs a 10AM boat.

Depending on how they handle "lunch", imo, that's a nice, relaxed trip and perfect if arriving by cruise ship. Dive 10:30-11:30, lunch at a beach club until 1:15, dive 1:30-2:30, back by 3:00. If I was two-tanking that sounds appealing, especially if there are more options than Playa Paradise and the Money Bar for lunch.
