Hi there,
We (4 adults, 3 kids - only 2 adults dive) have Cozumel as one of our ports of call on a cruise next month.
Now I must admit, I am not as much of a diehard diver as I was before the kids, but I still dive every year.
Last time in Cozumel was more than 10 years ago, when I took a ferry from Playa Del Carmen during a one-week all inclusive vacation. I missed out on Palancar Reef because the main harbour was closed due to high winds. So I am really hoping to dive Palancar during our stopover this time.
A few questions please:
Cheers.

A few questions please:
- What's an easy/inexpensive way of getting from the port (main international port, I think) to Playa Palancar for the group of 7 of us?
- Any recommendation for dive shop? We are experienced divers and are not looking to be catered to with kids gloves. Price is a big consideration.
- Do you suggest getting a dive outfit in town/port or find one when we get to Playa Palancar?
- What does a 2 tank trip go for at Palancar Reef?
- One specimen I really want to see but haven's seen is the toad fish. What are the chances of seenig one at Palancar Reef?
Cheers.
