    Are reef hooks allowed in Cozumel?

    No rope or hook needed if you are doing the eagle ray dive use 2-4 lbs extra and just sit on the sand ledge at 80' they come in squadron formation. Some will break formation and come close and check you out. Hold mask if one comes real close. I saw about 30 about 7 years ago but not so many...

    Sunscape and Secrets get Hyatt

    MY BAD I changed it. Old men get confused sometimes. Oh no --- Hyatt means the Pritzker Group is managing partner and the ILL governor is J B Pritzker the founder. In case you don't know --- he had 14 toilets removed from his personal Chicago mansion just before the property was reassessed...

I had to supply the return confirmation from the other airline in order to leave Chicago. again this was 4-5 years ago and I don't know if it was airline rule...

    every time I fly into Cancun and out of Cozumel on different airlines the agent in Chicago's outbound flight ask for proof of return flight. Was told that some discount airlines did not integrate with other airlines but AA, United, and Delta sync one way international flights so agents see a...

    Cozumel luxury resorts close to great diving?

    Palace is #1 Presidential #2, anything else is mediocre at best for "upscale Luxury" Hotels. Do not go by the star ratings of any hotel they lie. All the AI's at south end have food that is the cheap bulk purchase quality and all of it is used whether full of fat or gristle, withered, under...
