Anybody know of any good websites with aerial views of Cozumel? Googlemaps doesn't get in very close, and a general search didn't turn up much. I just need some material to get me more excited before I'm there in November.
Cozumel aerial pictures?

I'll be diving with Dive With Martin...be down there with the Scubadillo dive club from the 3rd - 6th. Sounds like you have a nice little vacation planned.

Tried Google Earth? http://earth.google.com/torrey:
You can "fly" over Coz at about 200' and clearly see the boats, the reef in front of the hotels etc.

Excellent! I had tried google maps, but had never played with google earth. Thanks.

Yeah, I've been on a boat with Orlando. The club has used DWM for the annual trips at least the last few years and we've always had an awesome time.

Well google earth was great for the norther half of the island, excellent detail. Unfortunately, it went limp on the southern half, which is where the Allegro is and most likely where we'll be doing most of our diving.
When we were leaving Cozumel last January, the plane took off toward the mainland, but immediately took a left and flew all the way around the southern 2/3 of the island at fairly low altitude. It came back across right along Benito Juarez (the road from town to Mescalito's), flew directly over the airport again, and then climbed up and out toward Playa del Carmen. I never found out what that was about, but I got some pretty cool video out the window of the plane.

For those who have been following this thread, the best thing I found that fit what I was looking for is yahoo maps beta. You don't have to install anything on your computer and the entire island is in high detail, unlike google earth which only had the northern half of the island in high detail.
