So I'd like to fly into Cancun, then I'd like to head down to Cozumel. As I undertstand it, the process would something like this. Never been out of the country but can manage my way around a mass transit system. My daypack will have my dive computer, mask(with prescription lens), regulator setup, hygiene kit, logbook, pair shorts and spare tshirt. My rolling duffle will contain BCD, wet suit, fins, snorkel, a few spare clothes.
Fly into Cancun, pick up baggage, go through customs, get ticket for bus down to Ferry Port, board bus, make sure gear baggage gets loaded onto bus, keep my daypack with me.
My questions are:
1) How difficult is it to get the ticket for the bus down to they ferry port? Do I need pesos for this?
2) Same question for ferry tickets. Do I need pesos?
3) Regarding checked baggage on both air trips, I have two concerns. Do loose batteries need to be "containerized"? Can I take a small tool set? Like one of those "all in one diving tools"?
4) Does Cozumel use 110V like US or do I need a travel converter?
5) Tipping for dives. I plan on using the same dive service all week. Do I tip daily or at the end of the week? Assuming I get good service does $10 for a two tank dive sound like a "good tip". I am accustomed to tipping 15-20% at a restaurant when I get what I consider exceptional service. So knowing that does the $10USD for a 2 tank dive sound reasonable?
