NW wind Saturday are they diving?

According to the weather models they have a NW wind today and most of the week N to NE winds. Are they able to still dive or does the port Master close diving down?

I just got back from 2 dives today. It was fine, but a bit chilly on the surface. Vis wasn´t great at Punta Sur. Seemed a bit churned up.

We´ll see what tomorrow brings.

It all depends...how strong and exactly which direction the wind is blowing. We never truly know until about 7:00 to 7:30 am each morning.

Thank you Christi and MMM. We are coming on our first cruise this week. And for me this whole trip is based on what happens Thur. for two dives.

It was gorgeous yesterday and today and is supposed to hold for a few more days yet. Enjoy your trip.

I'm arriving in Coz Friday morning. The Weather Channel forecast isn't showing much wind or rain in the 10 day, but what is the feeling for the regulars?
Anyone care to play forecaster?

Hi,

I'm in the process of trying to schedule some diving for late next week and early the following. I'm sure it'll be all new weather by then, but I'm just curious... what is "bad" vis and conditions in Coz?

That is, everything's relative. My last dives were in Galapagos a couple of months ago and vis was a bit murky 40' w/swells that tossed you around like you're a toy. And I've dived wet off coast of NJ w/10' vis in 50 deg. water. Sooo... I guess when I hear "churned up" or "bad" I feel compelled to ask what that is.

I guess the question is... "When people say 'bad' or 'churned up' in Cozumel, is that still "spectacular" by a northeast US diver's standards?"

Thanks,
Scott

Yup. Vis was maybe 50 or 60 feet horizontally.
