Since I rely on other people's reports and reviews when making my decisions, I figure it is only fair to give my own report. Neither my husband nor my son dive, so 3 years ago I decided to go for a short dive trip by myself, which has been an annual recurrence. All 4 times have been to Cozumel. First year was with Scuba Club Cozumel, then 2 years with 3P (staying at Casa Mexicana) and then this year with Blue XT-Sea, again at Casa Mexicana.
I had a great time with Blue XT-Sea. I dove 2 days with Martin and 2 days with Pedro on both Bandida 2 and Shamu. I liked Bandida 2 as it is bigger, and more protected from the wind (and rain). Though, it was much harder getting up on the edge for entry. Both of these boats were bigger than 3P's. At least, bigger than Loan Shark, as that's the one I was generally on. Pedro and Martin did a great job at pointing things out and taking us on interesting dives. The diving itself wasn't great as the currents were fairly strong and visibility was poor. Surface intervals were a good length and I really appreciated that they provide towels.
Two things that I did like better about 3P: they handle wetsuits overnight, and the chocolate cakes they get are yummy Christi's treats are better made and healthier, but if I'm going to indulge, I like a nice chocolate (or marble) cake. But I'll be contacting Christi first on my next trip.
