Need Suggestions For Diving In Cancun

[Jcsgt]

They also can make you an awesome kick-tail music video of your dive. My husband's video from SC was the incentive I needed to get certified. I had snorkeled above, so I was already feeling a little jealous of those people down below me... the video only cinched it. Have watched it a hundred times or more!

That's right, I had forgotten about the video. We had one done that included our local Cancun dives, or Cozumel dives and our dives at the Cenotes. Very, very cool!

I prefer to avoid the crowds, so I stay on Isla Mujeres when I'm in the Cancun area, so I dove with Coral Scuba Dive Center. They ran a great operation with great service, but the last time I went was Dec 2002. See my other posting for details.

I agree with all those in favor of Cozumel!

We are headed to Cancun in 2 weeks and were wondering if there were any good suggestions about diving in cancun. Have heard to goto Cozumel instead b/c viz is much better etc, but just wondering if I can get a few ideas from some other divers and or maybe some good crews/companies to try and hook up with out there?

Thanks!

I'd recommend a day trip to Cozumel which can be done by ferry. Then a short taxi ride for $5 to Caleta marina. My favorite dive company is Pascual Scuba. His phone number is 011-52-1-987-876-6956.

Has anybody used "The Wet Set" in Puerto Morelos? We will be there in four weeks and are thinking about using them. Any reviews would be appreciated.

hi, recently got back from mexico, i'd definitely reccommend diving in cozumel, maybe try Studio Blue, they have bases in playa del carmen and cozumel so you can arrange dives in without going back and fprth to cozumel! we dived palancaar reef and chankanaab and were lucky enough to see a couple of turtles and nurse sharks! have fun!

Email Ben at benrmooney@yahoo.co.uk. He has two fast boats, one holds twelve the other eight divers. Never been to Coz and from all the posts I'm sure it is. However, the diving in good around Cancun.

Does Ben operate out of Cancun? Does he have a dive shop there? I am heading to Cancun in 3 weeks and have to stay in Cancun, so that will be my base of operations. I will be diving by myself, so I am definitely looking for someone that knows their way around u/w!

No doubt about it! I have two OW certs scheduled with Ben and some other dives I want to do.

He also has a line on hotel/dive packages as well. I wish I could go earlier!

Diving is Cozumel is Great!!! If you are planning on staying in Cancun I put in a 2nd for "Scuba Cancun." They are a great bunch of people and have some good dives. They do great videos set to music also.
