Hello everyone!
Booked my first trip to Coz. I've been diving since I was 13 (became DM at 18), but stopped for about 7 years whilst I pursued my studies here in Canada. A trip to Cancun last October saw the girlfriend getting certified, and a re-sparking of my love for being underwater.
Currently scheduled to be in Coz from April 9 - 14, and then over to PDC for a few days of relaxing. Potentially a couple of cenotes dives over there if my girlfriend and her equally-new friend has a decent grasp on buoyancy control. We're staying at the Casa Mexicana on Coz, and likely to be diving with Tres Pelicanos.
A few questions...
1. What are my options for shore diving from around where I'll be staying? We get to Coz at about 3pm, so it would be nice to get a dive in there as a check-out dive and to help my buddies out with trim.
2. What should I expect for diving / photography? I grew up diving Sipidan, Mabul, Layang Layang (oh the good old days of Layang...), Bali, and many weekend trips to Puerto Galera. Most of my previous photography was macro-focused (and film too, using a Nikon F100, thus not having many photos still accessible these days). I'll now be diving with a new Sony RX100 setup. How would the diving of Coz compare to what I know? Cancun was really rather dreary and rather boring.
3. Any recommendations for safe cenotes dive ops / recommendations for particular cenotes?
Since we're such a visual-emphasized community, I'll leave some photos I took way back then (2004) here as a thanks for your responses
