DrSteve:Just curious if there is any need to take Peso's to Cozumel? All the dive operations seem to encourage dollars (US).
getwet2:I took some travellers cheques to exchange for some cash if I needed it but any large purchases went on a credit card, you get a better exchange rate when you get the bill.
In instances when they won't barter on the price use a credit card. At other times beat them at their own game, agree on the price, if they don't like you using a credit card when it comes time to pay just say OK and start to walk away. You'll be surprised at how much of a "FRIEND" you become.ggunn:I've heard that, but I've also heard that many places on Cozumel charge a premium for using a credit card that outweighs any exchange rate advantage you might get.
