Dude come on down for a couple days, gonna be there on May 28 to murder some pez leon. (nice pic)

Hey Kev! Who's winning the war? The DM"S or the lionfish? I just finished the book Helldivers Rodeo. It was a good book, It's about extreme diving and spear fishing, you would like it.
Ive been working 60 hours a week. I don't even have time to get up to the islands and dive. I usually dive in Canada a lot over the summer. Your lucky you can go. Where are you staying this time?

It is not just the equator difference, indeed that is not much of a factor. The big difference is that the Yucatan Peninsula juts out into the Caribbean to the East and is just a few miles from Cuba. Just look at a globe and you will see that Cozumel and the Yucatan is about 1000 miles east of Mexico City.

If it were not so closely connected economically with the rest of Mexico it would indeed be on the Eastern Time Zone. This does create all kinds of problems for us trying to support cruise ship divers as they are usually on Cruise Ship Time which is Eastern Time Zone, yet our clocks are "by law" Central Time Zone".

If you want to know where the sun is in the sky (apparently, of course) at any time of day, any day of the year, from any point on the Earth, go here: UO SRML: Sun chart program.

Here is the sun chart for Cozumel:
EDIT: The output is in .pdf format, which is unsupported here. Oh, well, it's an easy program. Just enter the latitude and longitude (CZM: 20.5N -86.9W) and set the variables to read out in local time, solar time, or whatever, and hit the button.
