    My Research Notes from Planning Cozumel Trip

    COZUMEL 2019 TRIP REPORT You won't believe this.

    We have stayed all over Coz and keep going back because of the diving. We have stayed at minimalist places like Blue Ange which is fine if you don't care about luxury. The rooms are just a place to sleep. They have food there that was pretty good but your not locked into eating at the same...

    Carnival 2010

    Hi everyone. I have a few questions. We are going to Coz (2/10 - 21) so we will be there for Carnival. We are primarily going to dive, but may go see the action in the evening. Should we expect more crowds than other times? Will this impact the diving? Will there be problems we should...

    Playa del Carmen Dive Report

    Just back from Mexico. Dove with Ben from MAD on 2/21, at PdC. BULL SHARKS galore. it was a wonderful, amazing, scary dive. At least 8 - 190 sharks, up to about 10'. They seemed a bit interested in us, but not threatening.

    Any recommendations for Cancun Dive shops?
