I have to say I had a great experience with scubalife prior to arriving. I am not diving with them but others here are and are giving them very high props as expected.

COZ it is, but looking a little insight if possible. Myself and my non-diving Girlfriend prefer the big all inclusive resorts with nice sand beaches, restaurants, and entertainment so she is comfortable while I am out swimming with the fishes. Iberostar, where we've been before is shuttered until November which means Dressel is too, at least for now. We're looking at Secrets, but I haven't seen all that great of reviews on "Dive House" who is the on site operator. Can anyone recommend a solid operator that does resort pick ups? Might have to just deal with the on site crew, especially being a single diver and I hate to judge them based solely on reviews, many of which are old but I feel like I should have a backup plan. Planning on booking this trip for July 4th tomorrow. Any tips, tricks, or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
I do not believe you are locked into using the 'in house' dive op. Other dive ops can pick you up there (I forget if secrets pier charges a pickup fee). Many but not all of the dive ops are spooling back up. You might want to inquire with some of the valet dive ops to see if they can accommodate you. After a three month lock down any of them will probably bend over backwards to accommodate you provided they have enough customers to make the trip economically viable.

plus many others.
Secrets/Sunscape last year was charging for non-in house dive op pickups at the wood pier to the south when friends stayed there. They charge the guest. Per communications I have seen from them, Sunscape plans to re-open 15 July and Secrets 1 July but better check beforehand.
I use Google Fi whenever I am outside of US, Canada, or Mexico.
They didn't say that did they?Cancun porters are more aggressive than last time. Said ‘thanks but I didn’t want anyone touching my bags due to covid‘
Response ‘maybe you should go home and not come back’
I couldn't much out of him, but it seems that you can sign up for Google Fi, make sure it works with the new card, put it on pause and change back to your regular carrier card, change cards, when you go overseas and activate Google Fi, and use that number. At the end of your trip, pause google and go back to old carrier.Tell me more...
