We just got back from Cozumel last night after spending a week diving and living it up Cozumel style. We dove 6 days with Albatros Charters www.albatroscharters.com , small fast boat, great DMs. We dove sites ranging from Devils Throat to Columbia Shallows and had great dives on each site. We had one day of diving with just my husband and I and the DM..what a treat! Most days we had one or two others on board. We have dove with Rita and Burak many times and one of them has always been on board as the DM. This summer they hired Laura, a DM who has been on the island for quite a few years. She was exceptional! Lots of fun, flexible and had a great nack for pointing out the less obvious on a dive. We had the pleasure of diving with her 3 dives. Its funny, the world is really small, Laura grew up only 15 miles from where I lived in Connecticut! As always, diving with Rita is great fun..nice sites lots of critters and relaxing. The SI were spent on the boat most days eating great cakes cookies and fruit and sipping water or juice as well as great dive chat. Frankie, the boat captain was always close when we came to the surface, he took by BC on the boat from me so I could come up the ladder without the weight on my back.
We stayed at Casa Martillo www.casamartillo.com in Corpus Christi area of town. We have stayed there many times and like the location, pool and maid service. The maids washed any dirty clothes we had daily. I think we paid 450 a week for a 1-bedroom unit. We always choose to rent a car and used Rentadora Isis for the first time. Great rate (210 with all insurances) for a small VW sedan. We like to eat at the places like El Pique and Jorges for tacos. El Piques Pastor is the best. La Lobstereia was just incredible the night we went. The Independence holiday was Friday night.food, beer and fireworks a real treat, the locals partied on until the very early hours!
Cannot wait to go back. We plan on using the same condo, car rental and dive op the next trip.
