Hi All!
Have been diving since 1977, mostly in the Caribbean and Florida. Have been to Cozumel several times and it is my favorite spot because of atmosphere, value, and drift diving (lazy and like to conserve air). Haven't been since 2007 but am thinking about celebrating my 60th birthday (damn, can that really be true?) there for a week in the first half of March 2013. Looking for lodging and dive operator recommendations for 4-5 days of 2-tank dives and maybe a night dive. In the past I've mostly used Dive Paradise smaller boats and have mostly been satisfied. In 2007 I stayed at El Cantil (think it's called something else now), stayed once in a B&B back a few blocks, and stayed a few times at what I think is now called Hotel Cozumel & Resort. (It was an easy walk to town, claimed the island's largest pool at those times, and had an under-the-road walkway to the dock.) I was happy with all those choices. I'll be flying in to the Cozumel airport from the US, traveling alone, prefer a queen/king bed so my feet don't hang off, and plan to eat at various restaurants. Don't need a beach but somewhere to catch some sun would be good. The only thing I plan to do in the room is sleep and read so as long as it is clean and relatively quiet I'll be happy. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Tom
