CCR support in Cozumel?

[stuartv]

Hi folks,

I'm looking at going to Coz next week (12/26 - 1/2). I'm interested in bringing my rEvo CCR to use for my diving while I'm there.

Is there anywhere there where I can rent cylinders for my CCR and buy sorb?

I called Deep Exposure and they said they would only rent to customers who are diving with them. I will be diving with Aldora. So, DE basically just said "sorry. We can't help you."

Thanks for any guidance!

CCR means Creedence Clearwater Revival to me.

Check with Protec in Playa Del Carmen. Or maybe island Divers in Cozumel can help you too. They rent tanks and have sorb.

or check with Memo at Aldora. he is a CCR advocate.

Island Divers sells Hollis rebreathers, Chris, the owner dives them - don't know how he feels about renting tanks. I'll message you Chris' phone number.

Deep Exposure is like that - one other place might have tanks is Cozumel Dive School as I think one of them guys dives rebreathers.

Hey, all. Thank you for all the help!

After more research and, especially, talking to @macado, whose blogs were posted by @Wstern5 (thank you!), I have decided not to take my CCR on this trip.

I can see that it would be a lot of hassle, both traveling, and on a daily basis to get cylinder fills. It is not worth it for this trip (diving with everyone else on OC, doing NDL dives). With Aldora having HP120s, even I can manage not to Hoover a whole tank down before my NDL runs out... On the deeper dives, anyway, obviously.... LOL

@ChuckP, thank you again for the other info, too.

FYI, Island Divers does rent CCR tanks (my roommate works for them).
