Recommendations : Cozumel + Playa Del Carmen (Mexico)

Make ABSOLUTELY SURE that you know the departure times for the ferry between Coz and PDC, especially if you are planning to use it the same day as your dive trip.

Trust no one to tell you the correct times, apart from the ferry companies...

I was lucky that Christi at Blue XT-Sea was great with us... We got the wrong info, and thus delayed some unhappy divers...

Also, as already mentioned, if going on the PDC side, don't miss the cenotes! An amazing experience!!!

Enjoy your trip!!!

I am diving in puerto morelos in October? I have dove the coz many times. Is it worth it or am I waisting my time? I am just going to get some dives in. Please advise

I will go to Playa del Carmen, 1 week in April, with 1 day in cenotes and 1 day at Cozumel. Is a 3mm full suit enough for this time of the year? Should I add my 1mm neoprene "T-shirt" for the cenotes? (I do not know the name in English, it covers only the body from neck to waist)

The temperature in the ocean should be 26-27C (78-81F). The temperature in the cenotes is usually 24C (75F). I find a 3mm full suit comfortable, but I also wear a 1mm hood. You may want the 1 mm t-shirt (sometimes called a "rash guard") for the cenotes.

Thanks. I will also take my hood...

just got back from playa, very nice, second time there, i was dissapointed with coz, very little fish life, reef were nothing special, plus you have drag your gear to the dive shop, in august this was not fun, don't mean to be negative, but ferry ride is $22.00 each, plus $60.00 for two tank dive, plus tip, it gets expensive
