    Celebrity or Royal Caribbean cruise lines--dive op on Cozumel?

    We are visiting Coz in January, '18 and have some onboard credit to use, so we are considering taking the ship trip for a 2 tank dive. Wondering who the dive operation contracted with Celebrity or corporate parent RCI is? I know they do offer a dive trip--just not who the dive op IS.

    United plane change time needed in Newark?

    I see United sells a ticket with only 1 hr 10 minutes time between arrival from Bonaire and departure to Florida. Is it likely that anyone would make it? I assume one must do Immigration and Customs in Newark? Any other hurdles??

    BUDGET resorts in Anilao and Puerto Galera areas? Looking for good but inexpensive...

    I am guessing there must be some hotels and dive shops where one could spend less than 1k for diving, food, and room? What are the favorites? I just got home from the DEMA show in Orlando and there were a bunch of resorts represented, but mostly Atlantis type places. What is available?:cool2:
