Well, I've made reservations for me and Peter and a group of our friend to go to Cozumel in March. We're looking forward to some great ocean diving, but three of us would also like to do a cavern course while we're there. HBDiveGirl and Kevrumbo did that earlier this year, and did it on the island. That was what we were planning to do, but I've had someone raise some concerns about the safety of diving the cenotes on Cozumel proper.
I am quite aware that the caverns on the mainland are larger and more open -- more what one would envision when thinking of a cavern. The cenotes on Cozumel, as I understand it, are more confining and much more like cave diving. But is there any significant safety issue regarding them?
We are thinking we would like to stay on the island so we can have breakfasts and dinners with our group, even when we are not diving with them. But perhaps I'm overestimating the time required to go to the mainland?
Any feedback would be appreciated.
