Some mornings there are two small boats for the 0800 dive. They leave right at 0800 to. I never saw the 1000 boat, (probably because I was always on the 0800 and gone). There is an early afternoon boat, larger, that went out. It had a slightly bigger group that looked like new divers.
Although the dive shop is small, the op is very well run. It has everything you need and fit my style perfectly. Pony and Martin, are very helpful. I can't say enough about their DM's either, most people like Mateo, I liked Jorge.
They had two large reference books on fish ID and other critters that they let me borrow for a couple of days.............

Thanks for the info guys. Yeah, I come over usually for the 10 am boat. Mainly because that's when my Playa Dive Op was saying we go. I'll press for the 8am boat next trip for sure!!

I have had the pleasure of staying at this hotel when it was still Caribe Blue. I would like to make a small suggestion. I would not call it a resort. It's a small boutique hotel with an adjoining restaurant on the premise and a nice ocean side pool. With that being said, the rooms are comfortable and the views are to die for since all the rooms face the water. I did, however, have an issue with the road noise outside my door,(since the doors face the road) but then again I am a light sleeper. I can only imagine that the new owners are really putting some lovely touches into this place and to make it a "green" hotel is the icing on the cake. For an affordable stay that has a beautiful view and a great staff, it is a big thumbs up, I agree!

We just booked Blue Angel for our trip in April and I am so excited after reading the reviews here on ScubaBoard...This will be our 5th trip to Coz and we love everything the island has to offer.

Nice review. Thanks.
I can't wait.
I can't wait.
My wife and I stayed in early Jan. 2010. We read a lot of great reviews before we went - in fact that is what helped make our decision. I must concur, the place was very nice. Lunch and dinner was very good, breakfast just okay - the menu is somewhat limited but the choices you do have are excellent. Plus it's only a 15 minute walk, 2 minutes by taxi, to get downtown. They mix up some pretty darn good drinks as well. Sergio(sp) is a great waiter - tip him well. It is worth every penny.
We are divers, as most are at this hotel. I wouldn't recommend it to you if you weren't. It's a small 22 room hotel where everyone gets to know everyone else. The rooms are simple, the grouds are small, but the dive operation is top-notch. We dove with Matthew (Poncho). We really enjoyed having him as our Dive Master. FYI - the shore dive from the resort is also quite interesting. Not a ton of coral. However the resort is right next to the stingray cage (tourist trap). The cage draws a lot of fish, eels, crabs, etc.
I will definetely go back the next time I am in Coz! Hello again to everyone we met from SCUBABoard.
