Did my research for my last CZM trip here, so wanted to add my trip advisor review so it can potentially help others:
Normally dive in FL or NC but was looking for something different. Stumbled upon Blue Magic and quickly determined that we could dive there for cheaper than we could in our normal dive locations of S FL or NC. There was a group of 8 of us and it worked out to around $350 a person to include 5 days of lodging and 3 days of diving. Blue Magic set everything up for us!
The hotel we stayed at was the Hotel Plaza Cozumel which was perfect for us. It was VERY clean and comfortable, and was all we needed. The Breakfast was great, and the pool deck on the roof was great to hang out at to recap the day. The best thing for me is that the hotel was close to everything. Just about anything we needed, the dive shop, a convenience store, restaurants, etc, were all within 2 blocks.
The dives were great, and BMS seemed very on point with figuring out what level the divers were at and what was within their comfort level. The boats were super fast with big motors such that I don't think another boat ever passed us. That said they have a very narrow beam, so they are pretty tender and getting gear on required the crews help, which they were happy to provide. Oh another thing is that once your gear is on the boat, they take care of rinsing the gear and drying it overnight. No hotel rooms full of dank gear here!
We are talking about a slightly shorter trip this summer, and will definitely book the dives and lodging with BMS. If the trips offered don't fit your exact needs, shoot them an email. They will make you the perfect package, all you have to do is ask!
