    Workout for rescue diver?

    You might consider the area that you do your open water course in. My course necessitated that I carry my buddy to a safe spot out of the water. I carried my son about 20ft uphill to accomplish that.

    Diving with Spouse/SO – Benefits/Issues?

    Precisely the reason I took the rescue diver course. Knowing my buddy/hubby was always in control and then being asked to buddy up with a stranger, I felt more education, experience was necessary. Glad I did, never had an emergency, but am much more confident in myself.

    What would you do if in Cozumel for 7 days and couldn't dive

    Have you seen the Cozumel museum? Check out the big poster by the door for events. You might be lucky and see a musical or talent show sponsored by the museum and parks foundation.

    Cozumel sea conditions & sea sickness...?

    Bless your heart for hanging in there and sticking with it. I was sick on every dive for the first 3 years of diving.

    October weather question

    The pattern you outlined is very typical of Cozumel, but of course not absolute. Be prepared for a shower most anytime. Enjoy your vacation!

    Mexican corn dish.

    I found epazote at a gardening nursery and have grown it two years in Michigan. It is the special flavor that adds just the right touch to frijoles, when you simmer them from scratch. Also good if you add it to the water when you cook pasta.

    Yes, my new favorite drink. Really, really good at the bar I believe it is called the Blue Room. It is located over the Forum Shops, at the very end of the shopping district on Melgar. They have a balcony for a great view while you sip. Enjoy!
