Good day scubaboard friends,
My wife and I got an email from our good friends in Roatan and while it's our first love and the first place we dove to 130', did wreck dives, did our first night dive, got our advanced and nitrox done, I feel its in our interest to find some other places that affected us as much as Roatan. Cozumel looks appealing since we loved drift diving in Roatan out at Little Texas and since it seems an island designed for diving in mind. What we don't want is to be a part of a diving factory. My wife doesn't have the endurance I do and would like to enjoy some beach time and be able to snorkel and maybe sit out a dive or two while I will go full bore until I must board the plane.
We are not big fans of the large Western feel hotels where everyone speaks English. I can speak Spanish well enough to get myself around anywhere and I enjoy the challenge of speaking and reading when traveling. We are both foodies and love new adventures. We'd like a combination fun ass dive resort and food centric, small scale facility where safety is paramount and the service is excellent but not in your face. My wife would agree to a dive resort if it had some beachy stuff for her to do. As my step mother hasn't been to Cozumel in years, she's not really the best to recommend anything to us even though she has over 500 dives under her belt.
She did mention Club Cozumel. We'd like to also to go on land and dive a cenotes. Perhaps Isla Mujeres as well. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a ton,
swim
