Shore diving at the Reef Club??

[cozdiver2001]

How is the shore diving from the Reef Club? Is there better shore dives close by?
Also has anyone ever used Dive Mike out of Playa del Carmen (www.divemike.com) for the cenote trip?

Thanks in advance,

I've never stayed at the Reef Club, but I've stopped there for SI many times. I don't remember any easy access to the water. The Reef is on pretty high ground for Cozumel and the shore is rocky there. You go down a flight of stairs to get to their pier, and I don't remember seeing a way to get from there down to the water, or (more importantly) a way to get back up.

Cheers,

No shore diving from Reef Club.

My recomendation for the cenote tour is Diego Corzo diegogolem@yahoo.com His package includes everything from Cozumel to the cenotes and back, including transportation and lunch.

It is not a bad snorkel but shore dive iwould be difficult because the in-house dive op (Sand Dollar) will not rent tanks. They get pretty upset when you snorkel around their pier. If you are already locked in to Reef Club, I suggest you bring a small marker bouy and enjoy the snorkeling. Best area is to the north of the pier. Watch the current if you venture too far north (or carry some mony for a taxi).

Enjoy

Very pretty, but it doesn't even look like their beach which is a lot more beige shell sand than coral sand. It may hurt tender feet. Sand gets lighter & softer as you head south from Reef club towards Allegro. Shore diving at the southern resorts is not very good . For shore diving look at Fiesta Americana on north to the Barracuda. It's not Bonaire but it beats the hell out of a TX or OK lake. It might be interesting to ask them where they tok that picture. If they can't give you a good answer, they'll have to give you a free dinner
