Hello,
I am headed down to Cozumel last week of December for the first time. Staying at Allegro, which I picked partially, due to the onsite dive shop, but after reading the reviews, I am considering diving with an outside shop primarily due to two reasons:
1. I always dive with the resort operator, and while I have never had a bad experience, I would like to try the "boutique" for a change.
2. My 13 yr old, OW, who has 12 dives(a couple in Fiji, and the rest in Turks & Caicos) is going to be with me and, again, after reading some not so fun posts from other beginners, I would really like for him to have a good time.
I have over 300 dives and AOW with Nitrox.
Respectfully, I don't want to reopen the debate on the merits or lack thereof of the onsite dive operators, instead I am looking for some recommendations on the offsite operators who..
1. Can pick us up at Allegro
2. Small boat.. 6 diver
3. Full service, change my tank pls (while I snack on some fruit in between, and not think about dragging my own equipment diving with a drysuit in BC, ; -) )
4. Offer us both a combination of easy fun dives for my son and some fun advanced stuff so I don't accidentally burn his padi card(just kidding)
5. Willing to take us to distant locations for preferred diving spots.
6. maximum down time
7. 120 tanks - I love breathing air, lots of it.
thank you in advance.
