Our first trip to Cozumel was a 2 dive day trip while we were staying on the mainland.
The mainland was lovely but Cozumel took our breath away. We vowed to return to Cozumel and are planning a trip for the last week in June with our two teenagers, 14 and 15 years old.
Here's the question. Since we've not stayed on Cozumel, we need advice from you seasoned Cozumel lovers on where to stay and which dive op to use.
On our last trip we dove the Palancar Reef and Santa Rosa wall. We would like to dive there again, and have no real interest in the Cenotes. We are looking for color and marine life, and will probably not look for dives over 80 or 90 feet.
Our son is certified but our daughter is training and may choose to do her open water cert dives while there.
We aren't familiar enough with Cozumel to know where we need to stay to be near the dive sites we'd like to most frequent. We recently returned from Utila and found that although our resort was wonderful, we were on the wrong side of the island for the really great dive spots and had boat rides of an hour each morning to reach them.
The kids don't need additional entertainment other than maybe walking around town when not diving. We're really looking to book a trip to ensure we get the best diving, with a great dive shop, in the right location.
Can't wait to go back to Cozumel. I'll book the airfare to Cancun today but will hold off on the dive/lodging stuf until I hear from our friends at Scubaboard.
Thanks. And by the way, I've read the positive and negative reviews of Cozumel post Wilma and if it's half the Cozumel we saw last year, it will STILL be one of the most beautiful places on earth..................
