I won't go into safety equipment, because I'm a safety freak and own just about every gizmo that I can carry. "Better safe than sorry." I had to use my Dive Alert once in Cozumel, and the captain heard it from about 200 feet away in 5 foot (+/-) surf. My wife may never hear again, but we won't go there.....
Casa Mexicana is incredibly clean, has good air conditioning, is well located, and has a great complimentary hot/cold breakfast buffet. They even have a juicer, so you can make your own concoctions (carrots, beets, fresh fruit). If you add the cost of breakfast (and the hassle of going to a restaurant) to a room rate elsewhere, you will have a better comparison. I was on the 4th floor, and could not get a wireless conection. I sat in the lobby when I needed the internet, where I got good reception.
Search this forum for opinions on the multitude of dive ops (about 100) in Cozumel. We like Blue XT~Sea, but it's a personal choice. Mago does magic tricks for the air hogs who surface early (and during the surface intervals), but always has one eye on the bubbles. He and Aiden are great captains.
