hello y'all,
Have a two and a half week dive trip vacation in the yucatan with my lady friend coming up and could use a little input/advice on a few things. I have dove cozumel several times but this will be our first trip on our own. Our initial tentative plan was to spend the first chunk of our trip in Cozumel at a resort, and then backpack/hump the coastline and see/dive the places we haven't seen before..
We'll be flying into Cancun on April 30th. My lady friend has a free night at Villa del Palmar, which I noticed is right by the ferry to Isla Mujeres. Our most recent plan is we're thinking of maybe flying into Cancun... spending the first night at Villa del Palmar, take the ferry to Isla, and then spend 1 or 2 days diving there. Any recommendations for operators, places to stay? I assume its probably out of season for whale sharks...but are there any runs out to holbox from Isla?
After that I think we'll try and be down to Cozumel around May 3rd for a string of easy resort days/great diving. I personally like allegro but am open for any suggestions?
Eventually we'd like to make it back to the main land and head south towards Tulum... might do a day or two in Playa del Carmen & Akumal. Any suggestions on operators? places to stay/see?
I haven't really noticed a large backpacker presence here on scubaboard but does anyone have any experience with any hostels in the area? I know Tulum is a big backpacking hub.
--Thanks in advance... curious and interested on any input anyone has
