We flew down from Houston on Continental Airlines. This was our 3rd trip to Coz, and again stayed at the Occidental Grand and dove with Blue X-T Sea Diving.
The Occidental Grand was great. The room was very clean, a/c worked very well, the food was very good, the bathroom was huge, and the maid service was very good. The one thing about the hotel that we didnt like was that on this trip they only served lunch at the outdoor beach restaurant. The floor was sometimes slippery, and there were flies all over.
The diving with Blue X-T Sea was great! Christi and her staff are excellent. They were on-time each morning, took us to great dive sites and treated us very well. In between dives, dry towels and windbreakers were supplied as well as a fresh water rinse. Also they gave us all the water we could drink, juice, home-made muffins, brownies, sandwiches and assorted other munchies.
On this trip we did our AOW certification and Christi was our personal instructor. We had an awful lot of fun during the course, especially with my husband trying to swim a square during his navigation dive. Christi said she needed a geometry book to try to figure out some of the patterns he was swimming, although to hear him tell it, he swam a perfect square and that we were just ganging up on him!
Oh, and Christi lent me one of her dee-rags which worked like a charm taming my wild hair under water. I highly recommend them. I just ordered one for myself - available from Dee on this board.
In summary, we had another great trip to Cozumel. We would recommend the Occidental Grand without hesitation a great AI, and it goes without saying, we strongly recommend Blue X-T Sea Diving.
We are already planning our next trip as soon as we can save up some more money!!
