Dave is absolutely right. Do 40-50 dives and attain some basic competence and comfort before AOW. Also agree that CZM would be a challenging environment for certification dives. I'd personally do those in Playa which has a much easier diving environment.

I frequently rent a condo up north (usually at the Peninsula Grand). I dive with Aldora, so, as others have pointed out, you can just walk to Villa Aldora and get picked up there if you want to dive with Aldora. If you don't want to dive with Aldora, it's pretty easy and cheap to grab a taxi...

Punta Tuniche, La Francesca, Yucab, Tormentos, and the tops of most of the wall dives are all around 50 feet and are pretty easy and beautiful dives. I have about 200 or so dives in Coz, and I've only seen a few down currents. They didn't come out of nowhere-on the weeks those happened the...

Dave is absolutely right. Coming from Chicago, I would much rather go direct to CUN and do the bag drag than connect in DFW. Too much can go wrong on the connection either way. Craig

My experience is that almost every place stays open all day to accommodate the cruise ship people. You shouldn't have any problem finding someplace to eat in the mid to late afternoon. That said, I'm don't go down in the summer, so not sure if it is seasonal.

This is pretty cool for hunting lion fish at depth Worlds First Eco Robot Protecting Reefs from Lionfish

Decided last night that I wanted to dive, so jumped a flight this morning and just finished the bag drag. Diving with Aldora and staying at the Flamingo on Calle 6. Diving thru the 14th. Craig

Dario is a great DM. Love diving with him.

Video of the dive that started the thread is now up on Aldora's facebook page. Aldora Divers - Cozumel Public Group | Facebook

Those are some big lionfish. Someone needs to go hunting and clean them out.

On the one hand, they are probably five years old. On the other, they don't have a lot of dives on them-probably less than 50 as they are backups most of the time. Hate to just throw them out with that little use, but I may have to.

I have three Geo 1.0s. My son and I went diving last week. One of them just completely shut down between dives. Tried swapping out the battery but that didn't do any good. On another one, the select button has stopped working. I can't access the nitrox settings since that requires me to...

One of the other divers has video of the rays and the dolphins. Perhaps she will post it.

As we were headed to our surface interval, we think we saw their fins in the water from about a hundred yards away and a dive boat was near them. Probably was you.

Just got back from a week in CZM diving with Aldora. Anyway, first dive on Tuesday was at Santa Rosa with DM Ricardo and two other divers. About 30 minutes into the dive, we saw two spotted eagle rays skimming over the sand just inside the top of the reef. We watched them for a minute, then...

Yeah, I was being diplomatic and not pointing that out...:):):)

I've been down in Cozumel four times in the last four months. It is pretty rare to see any significant number of lionfish on a dive in the marine park, although you can usually find a few, particularly on the deeper dives, if you make the effort to really look. I presume this is due to DM's...

I dove the east side with Aldora on Thursday. We killed some lion fish, saw a squid, eels, etc. it was fun because it was different. It was calm when we went into the water for the first dive. The wind picked up and the chop increased over the course of the day, but it wasn't too bad. It...

The prevailing opinion seems to be that the quality of the diving doesn't warrant carrying my mask and fins halfway around the world, so I'll spend my few days in Phu Quoc sitting on the beach with a cold beverage in my hand. I'll get my diving fix in Cozumel next week. I am looking forward to...

I only dive with Aldora and I can promise you that pretty much every first dive is below 60 feet, typically 80-90 foot depths unless you do some of the more advanced sites where it is deeper. Some of the second dives are shallower, like Yucab for instance, where the bottom is 50-60 from what I...
