Well , another vacation in Coz is in the books. Not our best trip, but there were a few highlights. Unfortunately, we had bad weather all but one day and the port was closed for 3 days, but I still managed to dive 3 days. That was definitely the highlight of the trip!
We headed to the east beaches during the port closure, but the wind had changed that morning so it was a bit rough and cool even over there, but man, is that side beautiful! Tip of a lifetime: Go to Liquor Box and have the world’s best mojito. I mean it. Have the mojito!! Tip to remember: Stay away from Playa Morena.
Due to the after effects of the norte, diving conditions were rough early in the week, but things smoothed out later. Water temps were good, but it was CHILLY topside all week. I was glad I brought my boat coat, although my dive OP did provide them. Visibility was the worst I’ve experienced here, but currents were mild meaning I could get close and poke around. I loved it! We saw a school of 8 black tips out on Horseshoe that everyone was pretty excited about and we had a truly special few minutes sitting on the bottom while 3 large spotted rays swam a circle around us and put on a show. I saw all my usual friends on the reef and even found a few elusive tiny guys. Pipefish seemed to be very scarce, and I only saw TWO lionfish!
This year I dove with Living Underwater and I can’t say enough great things about Jeremy and his crew. I’ve found 'my' dive OP He provided everything I could have asked for, communication and service were top notch and he made the BEST sandwiches! Long, leisurely dives with some really fun people. Jeremy knows how to provide a great experience and even when conditions are not perfect, how can Palancar disappoint?
This trip was also the beginning of a new chapter as we purchased our retirement home in Qroo. We wanted to be in Coz, but it was not meant to be. The good news is we’re close enough that I can get here easily!
Here’s hoping for a great Holiday Season to all of you headed down!
