"In 10 yrs of Cozumel diving, have dove the Throat one time. That single time was more than enough for me. Hated it, was a wasted dive in my opinion. But it does seem to be a right of passage dive." You can say that again! I had the same experience as Gdog, and once is enough, or is it? A...

Last week my computer showed water temps of 84 to 86 degrees.

That little pool area was ideal for training my 5 year old grandson to snorkel last July. By the 3rd day he wanted to go out beyond the wall. Turk9

Yesterday, half a dozen black tip sharks near the old Martin memorial site. Made our day. Then, while enjoying a couple of margaritas at the Blue Angel restaurant, viewed several boats hanging around a pod of dolphins for what must have been around 20 minutes. Yes, yesterday was a good day...

Anyone familiar with this outfit? From their site, it appears that at least a couple of their crew are ex Aldora dive leaders that I had enjoyed diving with in the past. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks, Turk9

Good Point! If I know my grandson, getting him out of the water and sun will be like pulling teeth. I will follow-up on this recommendation for sure. Thank You, Turk9

Great suggestions from all, Thank you for all the info and suggestions. The tension in my neck has receded and I am now thinking it may just be possible to keep Jazz Jr happily occupied for the entire week. In fact, even without diving every day, I just might have fun too! Many Thanks to...

I have been going to Cozumel twice a year for the diving for the past 6 or 7 years. This year I skipped the usual April dive vacation and will be heading down for a week beginning July 14th at Hotel Cozumel. I don't expect to do much diving. This vacation will be different than the normal...

I have stayed at both hotels several times each and would not hesitate to go to either again. Suites Bahia has very large rooms, two large beds, and small desktop. The kitchenette has a full size refrigerator, microwave, sink, cabinets with plates, glasses, cups, and utensils. The bathroom is...

10th to the 15th - Turk9 and son Chris, Suites Bahia, Aldora Divers. Quiet, peaceful, comfortable air temps, warm water temps, yaa that's October.

"Frankly, I don't know what Aldora does or doesn't do with wetsuits. Maybe someone who has dived with them can chime in." Aldora is my dive shop of choice in Cozumel, but they do not take care of wet suits. I see that as the only customer service they could work at improving. Otherwise they...

"Travel rig plate help figuring out whats best for me ???/" In April, I took my newly purchased Oxycheq Ultralite travel plate to Cozumel. I had it coupled with an older 35lb Diverite Venture wing. I was a bit worried that having not previously tried it out, that it would be a bit unstable...

Sharky, Christopher can't make it this time around. He was there with me in October and will be going again this next October. If you recall, on his very first ocean dive they forgot to bring his requested 100 cu ft tank on board, with a look of panic on his face, your lovely wife urged you...

Pulled the trigger yesterday: 4/23 - 4/30, Suites Bahia, probably diving with Aldora. Turk9

Dive day #6 (the last) - 1st dive was Palancar Caves, 85ft, 63 minutes. Plenty of swim throughs, several turtle with one of them trying to sleep in a depression in one of the caves. That was pretty neat. He looked a little anoyed that we were interupting his siesta, but he did not abandon...

blue steal, Pelagicgal gave a very good description of the the northern sites, right on the money. The far south sites were deeper with less surge and had a nice current that made for far less finning than the northern sites. Reefs are long and not scoured out as much as the northern sites...

Dive Day #5 - Port closed this morning, went to the east side again. 1st dive, Rosta, near the southern tip of the island, 109ft, 61 minutes. Very wide and long reef, seen a couple of turtles and a a few lion fish, crab and lobster. Dive #2, Rosta(Shallows), 63ft, 75 minutes. Lots of color...

For those who asked, water temps have been a very comfortable 83 degrees.

Dive Day #4 - Port closed to all water sports due to wind and waves. Aldora took us to the east side. 1st dive, Hanan, 50ft, 68 minutes. No current, plenty of surge. Lots of different types of coral decorating the 20 to 30 foot coral heads, including a rather large stand of Staghorn coral...

Dive Day #3 - Maricaibo, 128ft for 56 minutes, Columbia Shallows, 33ft for 96 minutes. No big animals to speak of at Maricaibo today. Virtually no currents either. Went under the arch at 128 feet. Columbia Shallows had lots of small critters and a few larger ones. Three turtles, two nurse...
