I've been to Cozumel over 20 times now. Twice without wife & kids. 3 times with wife, but without the kids.
Personally, this should be a quick scuba diving "Vacation", so we're trying to keep it fun & simple, without hassles.
The two times were just w/ scuba diving crazies with the guys, no wife, no kids.
Three times were dive trips with just my wife, when the kids were just babies. We left them at home with family, so we can truly relax & enjoy ourselves.
However, the last 15 + trips to Cozumel, we've always traveled as a family, after our 2 kids turned 3 - 4 yrs old or so. We went diving while the kids enjoy the hotel's kids club activities, when they were 3 - 10 yrs old.
Now that they're both teenagers, both are PADI OW Jr diver cert, we all travel & dive together.
We love kids, however, we just personally think that bringing an 8 month old out of the country, getting passports, shots, etc & trying to find BABYsitters while you're diving ... is just too much hassle.
Would recommend that you wait until the Babies are a little older, so everyone can enjoy the "vacation" is little bit more.
But that's just our 2 cents...
