In another thread, I ran across this sig:
PROTECT OUR NOVICE COZUMEL DIVERS
Improved oversight, guidance and training is cheaper than complacency.
GOALS: ZERO non-medical diver deaths. ZERO missing divers.
It left me wondering what motivated it. Certainly, and especially on SB, Cozumel frequently gets billed as dive Nirvana. We hear about dive accidents everywhere else in the world, but not frequently in Cozumel. But it sounds like something is amiss. And, having heard that various dive ops lost several divers in one month alone earlier this year, and using the Internet to dig deeper it seems like people go missing with some regularity, my question is how much of that sort of thing is going on while the powers that be assure everyone that the water is completely safe? Average# per month?
