Possible southern reef closure

Water temps in the winter in Coz? Who cares if you wear a full 5MM suit and sport a beanie (which I do). Water temp in Dec when we go is prob around 80. In Jan/Feb I assume it may drop to the upper 70's like 77-80 maybe. Anything you may read that says it is colder than that water temp is total BS.

I hit 74 once in February but that was due to a fresh water underground spring, 77-78 was the normal temp that trip.

It was a misunderstanding. What Don posted were records of air temperatures, plus he was pointing out that a couple of days it showed freezing air temps, which are clearly in error.

Just returned from Cozumel. Overall a great dive trip and definitely worth going and glad we did not change our destination. Yes , there's were some dives where the reef looked like the first new snowfall of the winter with white as far as the eye can see , but also sites that looked like Cozumel diving a couple years ago. Santa Rosa wall still awesome. Lots of Eagle Rays visiting. Hopefully it turns around soon.

What’s the reef closure status and plan? I just looked for an update on closure and related news and found nothing. Can anyone, like maybe @Christi, give us an update or share a good news source for the same?

Understanding is reopen December 15th, have heard chatter about random or rotating closings but just chatter

And what will we learn from the short closure?

Apprehensive about planning a dive vacation in Cozumel. Wondering what will dictate and the direct their next step, Will they open the southern reefs or close other neighboring reefs? I still wonder about those environmentally friendly sounding 'Marine Park Fees' which obviously went towards zilch.
