I absolutely love Cozumel and have been there many many times. Cozumel, however is really about the day life and not much on night life. If you are looking for big dance clubs that swing until dawn, Cozumel isn't really the place for that. You won't be bored, but you won't be swamped with choices, either.My little brother is turning 21 tomorrow and I've offered him PADI certification courses, which I will be completing with him. Our courses start in two weeks and certification is in late October. I'm turning 25 in December, so we plan to take a trip together either in Mexico or Caribbeans at that time. It'll be our first trip just us brothers, our first diving trip and a lonnnnggg overdue vacation for me.
My uncle is a veteran diver and he suggested we either go to Cozumel (considering Cozumel Palace now) or Turk & Caicos (Club Med), pointing out they were both amazingly beautiful places to go dive. I trust and believe his word 100%, but my brother and I are also looking to have fun at night after the diving is done! I was wondering which destination you'd suggest which has an enjoyable nightlife experience? Any of you guys been to both places and could give us some pointers?
Our budget is about 1500$ each for hotel+plane fare, but would prefer an all-inclusive for that price. We're flying out of Montreal!
Thanks a lot for the help
PS. I'm doing a lot of research all around, but it's also appreciated to get up-to-date information directly from the horse's mouth!
But if you are going for the diving remember this: Dehydration is a major contributor to DCS, and a hangover is in large part residual dehydration from the effects of alcohol. Diving hung over is very risky, so I'd advise you to conduct yourselves accordingly.
