    Any thoughts/reviews of Secrets Cozumel

    i only know of one op which goes to the east side, aldora. they have a good website which may tell you how frequently they go over there. my guess is that it is just a backup when it is impossible to dive the west side due to el nortes

    Which ops DO NOT go to a lot of special/southern/northern/remote sites?

    barracuda is a pretty normal dive most of the time. however, there is very little margin for error. a mistake there could be much more serious than on most dives.

    Drifting away in Margaritaville

    march is a month when you could get el nortes. however, since you are thinking of aldora, that might be a plus. have never done the east side with them, but posters here seem to think it is a special treat.
