Going from 5/26 to 6/2. It's just below Playa De Carmen. Any suggestions or information on where there might be some good diving? Is anyone familiar with the on site dive shop?
Guess I've gotta plan at least one trip to Coz? So, any good operators there to use for a day trip?

My wife and I stayed at Grand Xcaret Feb 2005. We dove with the operator in the park and they were awesome. We dove Tortugas Reef and Barracuda Reef. No cattle boats. The first dive was my wife, myself and the guide. On the second dive, 2 addtional people joined. The dropoff for Tortugas was right in front of the beach of the hotel. You can book the dives at the hotel. It is worth checking into.
I concur. I did a dive with the Xcaret ops and it was just the my gf and I and the dive op. They even had someone to take our pic underwater on the way back. Great dive.

I was at the Occidental Grand Cozumel in January 2008 and the dive shop there was great (at least for me as a beginner it was) you could probably get a day pass from the Xcaret to use the Cozumel facilities at no xtra charge (I know they had day passes from the Allegro to the Gran d in cozumel and the resort is usually very good about that sort of thing)
