Just returned from Cozumel yesterday (Nov 18) and stayed at the Allegro.
I polled the Scuba Board for advice on dive operators. I chose Dive with Martin and did not regret my choice. Small, fast boats with max 6-8 diver and at times less!! Divemasters were all very good and always asked where we wanted to go. On one occassion one of the other divers had already done the Palancar dive sites and asked for somewhere else - no problem!
Weather last week was hit and miss - I actually lost a day of diving because of the Northern winds kicking up the seas. Good news is that the Northern winds only last a few days so I hope the weather has cleared for your trip.
Dive Palancar is on-site at the Allegro but will allow Dive with Martin to pick-up divers at no cost to the diver. I would recommend that when you check in to the hotel, you ask the staff to call Dive Palancar and clear it with them that you are being picked up by another dive operator at their pier. This is what I did and had no problems but everyone has a different experience.
If you have other questions, please feel free to send me a PM and I'll answer your questions as best as I can.
This was my first trip to Cozumel and I am planning on going back next year - lots more dive sites I want to see!!!
