I have a one shot direct flight out of DFW, which works well for me, but like Houston and Atlanta it is an AM flight which is not friendly to western connecting flights. Unfortunately last year’s DFW afternoon flight was discontinued due to low load factors. If I had to connect and could not make the connection to Cozumel and it required an extra overnight, I would try for Cancun. I love the island of Cozumel and its culture, but I come to dive. The simple math to me is an extra day of travel is a lost day of diving. If I could make Cancun by 6PM I should have no problem making the last Playa ferry @22:00 and dive in the morning. If I could not make the last ferry there are cheap hotels near the Playa Pier and the AM ferry would get me to Cozumel in the at 7:45. Provided you have arranged it in advance (for me a ride to the caleta) I can do the AM dive @ 8 AM.
The primary purpose of my trips is to dive.
Plan B: see if your op is running a twilight dive which should depart @ 3PM (ish) that gives you a late afternoon dive to check out and settle in and then a nice night dive.
