Let's give some props to the DMs in Cozumel. They work hard for their money! From loading the boats, to dealing with less than perfect divers at times, and Cozumel DMs always have a smile on their faces.

Nestor, my favorite DM at SCC

Firstly Scuba Tony & then Eric Perez who worked for him back in 07.

Our all time favorite Dive master, the late Tom Hartdegan. Tom actually was our dive guide on our second trip to Cozumel in September 1985. He told us all about coming to Cozumel on a dive trip and fell in love with the place, then moving down. He started a little dive operation some of you may have heard of called "Dive Paradise" about 10 months earlier. I only wish that we had underwater cameras back in our early days to "document" some of the things we used to see.

Through the years we have dived with numerous operaters, some big and a lot small, and many different divemasters and all have been good. Some better than others, but none have ever been bad. I wish I had written down the dive operator we used on our first trip in October 1981. All I remember was our dive guides name was "Jesus", and he was a looker. :blinking:
