Hello all! I am planning a trip to Cozumel in early November and am a newbie (this will be my third dive trip since being certified in March of this year). Having never been drift diving before, I am a little concerned about the current being too strong and me not being able to keep up with the other divers or me being pushed away. Are there certain dive sites that are best for newbies (ie not too deep and not a strong current) and ones to definitely avoid unless you are an experienced diver? We are thinking about using Dive with Martin while down there. Does anyone know if they put guides in the water with you for free? When we dove in the Keys we had to pay extra for a guide and the day we didn't have a guide we ended up drifting VERY far from the boat that the divemaster on board had to swim a line out to us.....but that's another story Oh, & another question - has anyone flown into Cancun and taken the bus down to Playa del Carmen followed by the ferry to get into Cozumel? Is it too much of a hassle or is it better to pay more$$ and get a flight into Cozumel? I will be lugging diving gear along and not renting a car. Oh does anyone have recommendations on a dive op to use to do a day of diving the cenotes? My friend recommended Mayan Aqua Dive to dive the cenotes. They only take 4 divers per guide which I like. Anyone use them before? Any info would be greatly appreciated!
