Spearfishing Cozumel

[MMM]

Also, I imagine you cannot spearfish just anywhere around Cozumel. Is Paradise Reef off-limits? Diving there a few times, never saw other boats than dive boats.

No fishing of any kind is allowed within the Marine Park (outside of DMs killing lionfish). Paradise is within the Marine Park.

I would, however, be in favor of making the marine park go completely around Cozumel.

Gordo, aren't there people making their living fishing the waters outside the park?

I'm not Gordo, but yes there are many who earn a living that way. As we know from La Perlita, Pescaderia San Carlos, and many other favorite places of ours...

Thanks for the great trip report, billindenver. I gave it five stars. Glad you had fun.

Wow... I thought let me check this thread for a minute.
Uhhh 15 minutes...

Hola Leo! I'm planning a May trip, but the wife wants a July trip. I think it only fair to compromise and have a solo May trip and ALSO bring the wife in July! I am known for my ability to compromise. It's a gift.

Don't let a few emotional types in here scare you off. The majority are very even keeled.
