What else can you do at Coz if it rains whole day?

[colder down]

Well, I guess it's my lucky day. I just checked weather. It will rain most time next week. :( Any boat will go out? In the worst case, what can I do there? :confused: Drinking all day? I can do that at home. Now, I am sad.

Eat, drink, shop. Rent mopeds.

[colder down]

I just get rid off 5 pounds. Looks I will get it back at coz.

[zzzScuba]

Go Scuba Diving??? (a little rain never stopped me from Diving.)

Also, don't pay attention to the weather report. Cozumel reports frequently show "rain". It's usually just a drizzle, quick shower, or nothing at all.

[colder down]

I do hope so. It's my first diving trip at coz. I don't mind to be wet at all. Only wish the boat will go out.

... must.... fight... impulse,,, must... keep... tongue... in... check... Nope, I just can't do it.

W.T.F. dude, are you afraid you're going to get wet? The frickin' boats will go out in the frickin' rain! I suggest you read the sticky at the top of this forum page.

Rain only stops the boats if it is windy also. Most times the rain is brief anyway. Storms move pretty fast there and a prediction of rain is not usually an all day thing. H_ll you get wet diving anyway.

Bring an emergency poncho found at most drug stores for a buck, they are no bigger than a pack of cigs when folded, I'm sure someone from Louisiana can find them easily. Walk around town in the rain and remember how you did crazy stuff in the rain when you were a teen, visit the shops and Café's it will still be 80 out.

Go to the Museum, call Sally at Massage: Barefoot in Cozumel (http://www.barefootincozumel.com) and get a fantastic message. Visit other hotels to see what they are like.

Rent a car (NOT A MOPED) go see the east side H_ll it might be sunny there and you can get sunburned.

IF YOU CAN'T DIVE GO OUT AND HAVE SOME FUNNNNNNNNNNNNN. and you don't have to drink all day either

What else are you going to do when it rains? Can't get any rays! We were there in November and it rained quite a bit, but it didn't stop the diving. I'd rather be diving than obsessing about the lack of sun. The rain had often cleared by the time we came up from our first morning dive. There was only one day it rained the entire day. The only bummer part was getting pelted with rain on the boat ride..nothing a warm shower and a cerveza won't fix upon your return.

[colder down]

Thanks, guys. Since rain does not have the same meaning at coz., I have not much to worry. I wll pass barefoot thing. I tired that at China and almost borke my back.

[awap]

I was there for a week last month. Rain was forcast for 5 of the 6 dive days. Sure enough, we saw rain somewhere, sometime every one of those days. One day we even got sprinkle on just a bit. Don't worry about it.

[Fish_Whisperer]

It ain't rainin' underwater. ;)

[NDH]

Hey colder down
Where are you staying at? I just made reservations at Hotel Cozumel for this coming Saturday. I could not believe my luck. My job put my days off together and I talked my wife into going at the last minute. Orbits out of Houston for $488pp for airfare and hotel. This won't be my first trip to Cozumel. Most of the time rain passes quickly. Looking at the extended weather here in Houston it doesn't look like any big Northerns are coming through, so we sould be good.

[ce4jesus]

Hey Colder Down...same thing happened to me last year. Then I got there and realized it always rains somewhere in the Yucatan Peninsula everyday. In any case we had some sunny diving, some cloudy diving and even one dive where it was raining like a mother when we came up. Guess what? It still looked blue and beautiful underwater. BTW topside stuff

Cool beaches on the East coast. Cool Mayan ruins to the North...take mosquito repellent..yeap...lots of mosquito repellent. There's a park in the South where you might see some gators. Shopping....tons of it everywhere but that depresses me just thinking about it.

[Sue Sue]

What to do in Cozumel in the rain.....Dive, walk around town, take rain photos, go to the East side and sit on the beach, Dive, visit restaurants,see Sally for a massage, Dive, spend time in the Chedraui, go to a movie and the cinema, go to the museum, relax, Dive, Dive and Dive !!! My party of 7, which included a 1 year old, had rain everyday this past October. Not one day did we feel rained out....we always had something to do and made the best of the vacation. One of the bonuses was that it was a very relaxing trip. Sue Sue

Unless it's a tropical system the sparse daily rain won't slow you down and is often a welcome relief from the heat.

:rofl3: Jeff you are cracking me up:rofl3:

No worries the weather reports as usually not accurate...plus you will be in paradise better than being at work....like I am....wanna trade:eyebrow:

[colder down]

NDH, I will be at Coral Princess. You get better deal than ours. We are from LA. Which dive shop will you use?

[jpomerantz]

ABSOLUTELY!!
(Looks like we are both getting work done today!)

[mississippidiver]

On a rainy day???

If you brought your significant other down with you, then...welll... you can take it from here...

You should also consider going diving...The fish and coral are already wet...

Visit the museum in town. It's very interesting.

Rent a vehicle and explore the eastern shore. Be sure to stop at Palancar Beach Club, say hello to Oscar in the dive shop and try their fish tacos...

[drbill]

Um, not sure I understand the problem. I rarely let rain stop a dive... in fact I often get my best video underwater when it is raining topside thanks to the more even lighting. It's a warm tropical rain down there, I assume. The only time rain interferes here is when it is also real cold and thick overcast... surface intervals are a bummer under those circumstances and there isn't as much light to film with.

[driftin' by]

colder down, did you get your question(s) answered?

Good. Now, open mouth and insert foot! :D

[Piro]

It usually does rain every day, could be a morning shower, or an afternoon shower, could be an all day downpoor. That usually wont stop the boats from going out. Personally i would recommend Blue XTC, but as the owner is having some family problems back in Texas, i dont know if Blue XTC is open, i would assume it is. If they do close the port, you can always hop on the ferry, and head of to the ruins on mainland, but stay away from Tourist Traps. The best shopping for stuff is usually about 1 or 2 streets behind the main plaza. Take a trip over to Coconuts on the other side of the island.

You can go on an ATV tour of the center part of the islands around some of the mayan ruins on Cozumel, but like i said, the best ruins close by are on the mainland.

[colder down]

My foot is in my mouth now. I was at Maui in one Nov. and it rained so hard that the water turned into yellow. Well, I hope this trip won't end like that.

[NDH]

Colder down

We are out of Houston so our airfare cost less. We are staying at Hotel Cozumel, nothing fancy but great for a quick get away. We have dove with Scuba Club and Dive Paridise in the past but might try someone new this trip.

How about ya'll, who are you using for your dive op?

[dlndavid]

Don't drink yellow water, no drink yellow water, it's probably beer :shelli:

[suzbo]

???? Why would you think the shop might not be open because the OWNER is sitting with her father in intensive care??

Blue XTSea Diving has a fully competent staff and crew who handle two boats (AND the office) at all times unless the ports are closed.

Even when Christi is out of town, she's in constant contact with her staff. They all know how to handle their jobs and get divers out. Christi is the one who personally replies to reservation requests, so that is the one thing that might be slightly slowed down while she's helping family with a medical crisis.

That place runs like a well-oiled machine, give 'em a call!

[colder down]

NDH, I will go out with Aldora. I like their tanks because I enjoy sucking air.:blinking: Next time, I will get a hotel at the southern zone.

What suzbo said!!

We are diving with Blue XT Sea Jan. 20th - 24th and have no worries that we will be well taken care of and receive the same great service that has made them our exclusive dive op choice whenever we go to Coz.
We'll certainly miss Christi if she isn't there, but we KNOW that we will still be getting one of the best diving experiences available on Coz.

Hi Colder Down

I have been thinking about going with them also. They gave me a quick email reply. Where Dive Pardise has not respounded to either one of their emails.

What day are you going down? For us its Saturday morning out of Houston.:D

[colder down]

Hi, NDH

We will arrive coz. on Sat. Aldora gave me a very quick reply too. Since they have 6 boats and their rate is not the cheapest, I think there shall be some spots open. I will begin to dive on Sunday. My "boss" wants me to snorkel with her on Sat. Plus, I will take a Cenote trip with German on 17th.

[NDH]

Hey Colder Down

You don't have a stop over in Houston do you? We are on Continental that morning. We have not decided if we are going to jump on a boat Saturday afternoon or not. We will wait and see when we get their.:D

[Nevis Diver]

Well, we will be there all week next week and if it rains I guess we will get wet. Hey, since we are already wet let's go diving !

[colder down]

Hi, NDH

Too bad, we will stop at Charlotte. Since we fly red eye, we will take it easy on Sat. Anyway, we will get wet soon.
