Isn't Aldora north of town and Sabor far south? How are you getting to Aldora after lunch for the shore dives?They're not. I wish they were. I like what I've heard of SCC, but given the sizable discounts on package deals, it's going to be cheaper for us to stay at the Sabor and dive with Aldora Divers. 2 tank boat dives every day, with unlimited tanks for shore diving. And as others on here have mentioned, Aldora uses HP100 or HP120 tanks, so your dive is likely to be limited by NDL, not gas.
The restaurants at the Sabor are also more likely to fit us. We like to get off the boat, eat something and take a nap on the beach (it simply doesn't do to come back from Mexico without a good tan....) and then grab our lights for a twilight/night dive, followed by a late dinner.

For the Sabor, this may help some: Legionnaires' disease - FAQ
No chest pains, so it wasn't Legionnaire's that I caught. Woke up in the middle of the night before last puking my guts out, which lasted intermittently through yesterday, along with terrible stomach cramps, fever, light sensitivity, and my whole body hurt. Wanted to die. Skipped yesterday's dives, of course, probably could have made it this morning as I felt somewhat better, but Jeremy offered to not charge me for the day so I didn't push it. Still a bit sore all over today, but stomach feels better - was able to keep down my food and a bit of liquor to make me feel better - and I'll be right as rain tomorrow morning. Definitely not "traveler's diarrhea" since I didn't even have diarrhea. I figure a norovirus - there are lots of kids here - but told myself I wouldn't go see a doc unless it got even worse and it didn't. Getting laid up two out of our six days here really sucks, though!Isn't Aldora north of town and Sabor far south? How are you getting to Aldora after lunch for the shore dives?

What do you mean that you are unable to see a doc? Do you mean you wouldn't be covered under your medical plan and don't want to pay? Sounds horrible, and you should go even if it costs money - duh.No chest pains, so it wasn't Legionnaire's that I caught.

Will accept diagnosis from any amateur docs, or even pros, but I'm not able to go see a local doc unless I truly am dying, even though it would mean DAN would reimburse me for the one nonrefundable day of diving I missed.
An interesting plan there DDog. I'd like to see a report on how it works for you.
The link is how to avoid Legionnaires' disease - a problem at the Sabor.

I walked back in the kitchen once the one time I stayed at the Reef Club; is that the same place as Sabor now? No cooking. :amazed: They shipped food in from another resort. The poolside buffet was the worst tho: lukewarm pizza covered only by flies from the nearby cattle farm. That was before I joined SB tho. If I walk into something like that these days, I'll be posting a tirade about why I was not warned here.
It's been discussed here. Here are a few links, but click & read this time please. Now I could be mistake about what names the Sabor has gone by in recent years. Kayak.com lists is as Sabor Wyndham Cozumel..I'll post a report after we return, of course. But it's not till December.
I'm already familiar with Legionnaires. But I'd be interested in seeing the report that proves it's "a problem" at the Sabor...
