    Click on some of many links here to be informed. The sea is a big place. Don't worry about it and go have fun.

    It is the tropics. It is the rainy season. I can rain every day, or not at all. Most times it is a brief showering that dumps rain and moves on. No worries!

    In support of my son and the brave men and women of the 3-17 Cavalry as they serve far from home. God bless and keep you.

    Question of the day: Does God love me for some unexplained reason and blessed me with a wonderful wife - OR - Did God bless me with a wonderful wife and, therefore, has learned to love me for her sake?

    Technically, I believe it's a monsoon; at least that's what a couple of sites have called it. When I was there from May 11-23, for 8 of those 12 days it was cloudy and occasionally rainy. At the time there was a named storm in the Pacific off the cost of Costa Rica and another off the US east coast, and a band of rain that started at the Pacific storm and stretched across Mexico, right up the Yucatan (over us on Cozumel), the length of Cuba, across Florida, all the way to the Atlantic storm. The named storms are long gone, but that band of rain smack on top of the Yucatan is still there. It's very unusual; May is usually pretty dry. I've been to Cozumel for the last 20+ years in May and not seen this much rain there, ever.

    But even with the rain, we had a great time. It affects the diving almost not at all, and for the fishing it was actually a bit of a relief. Those still, sunny days out on the water for 8-9 hours can get blisteringly hot.

    Last July it was nice and overcast and a little rainy. Was SOOO nice to not have the sun baking you all day every day.......

    Either way, it is the rainy season so go expecting some form of rain at some or multiple times during your stay.

    Rain in Cozumel, beats ANY day at home.

    Very brief thunderstorm around 4:30 am, otherwise, it's a partly cloudy beautiful morning in CZM!

    I never take 5 day forecast very seriously, and 10 days forecast are just trends. Certainly no tropical systems that could develop into cyclones seen yet.
    You can test the tanks you breathe or - dive on hope.
    Testing is safer...


    Great news for vacation divers who cannot talk themselves into buying a personal CO tank tester!

    >> Rent one for a week or longer here <<

    Yeah it's just the air we breath - at depth!

    For days, haven't been able to stop thinking about my Cozumel trip this Sunday and when I get to work this morning, the alert on CNN.com is "Hurricane Carlotta bound for Mexico." I thought, "You gotta be sh$*ttin me!" Luckily its on the Pacific side and heading west (fingers crossed). Hopefully though its close enough to drain the atmospheric energy needed to fuel another one on the Atlantic side, for the next week or so at least.
