I'm heading to Cancun in January for a bachelor party but the bachelor and I are more interested in diving than anything else. We will spend at least one day diving Cozumel. Long story as to why we got stuck staying in Cancun and not Cozumel...
I've been looking for dive operators in Cancun and Manta Divers pops up quite a bit. They have a very imformative and professional http://www.mantadivers.com/, and seem to get fair to good reviews here on the board, based on my searches.
My concern is http://dive.scubadiving.com/members/tripreports.php?s=2798 I read on a different board, which seems to indicate unsafe practices, namely filling cylinders with air polluted by engine exhaust. I am willing to believe this was a temporary problem that has since been resolved, but I'd like to know if anyone can confirm or deny that based on more recent experience, since 2004 anyway.
Alternatively, I would enjoy other suggestions about dive operators you may know and trust in Cancun. Thanks for your time!
