Haha my trip reports oft go on and on for a week of updates. PM in 2 weeks if you'd like.Dandy Don, will be looking forward to seeing if you can make the arrangements and if you do the dive, hearing about your experience.
I remember hearing something a while back about a controversy between ops on Cozumel and ops on the mainland being upset by cross channel dive trips. What I heard was that they came to an agreement that both would stay on their own side of the channel.I am certainly asking my Op for next week about going.
I have been trying to imagine all of the dive ops on Coz agreeing on anything, much less that. It's difficult for me to believe, altho some of them might have - and you can hear anything....!I remember hearing something a while back about a controversy between ops on Cozumel and ops on the mainland being upset by cross channel dive trips.

I don't know if the weather will allow us, but I already have approval from Scuba Mau. Excerpting from an email...Dandy Don, will be looking forward to seeing if you can make the arrangements and if you do the dive, hearing about your experience.
I'll let you know if we make it but if the channel is choppy, it's too hard in a small boat I know. I did not ask about extra charges, probly takes more gas, but better than the time we stayed in PDC to dive with a local shop who forgot to take us where we asked - and yeah we had the whole boat paid for.We have no problem going to the north or the otherside (playa) for the tortugas site, we love it there!

Well, it's all the way across, then the same back to a middle dive site, plus the trip form the middle site to the dock - so I would accept if they wanted more gas money, but then I'm getting the cheapest base rates on the island so I don't mind paying for requests that might costs extra. And it may not.I have never been charged extra for this trip by either op I used. I don't think it's much further than heading to the far south end of the island.
Actually, it's a quite a bit shorter boat ride from, say, Blue Angel to the mainland than it is from BA to Colombia Reef.I'll let you know if we make it but if the channel is choppy, it's too hard in a small boat I know. I did not ask about extra charges, probly takes more gas...

The one time I dived it, the current was screaming! No walls or reefs, just sand bottom and turtles munching on sponges - me shooting pics as I passed. From the direction the current hits the island and the channel, I guess that is the norm...?
