best transportation cozumel

[Dano]

I am not an expert on staying in Cozumel, but, have a handful of dives there. I stay in Playa del Carmen and make a couple trips to Coz for diving only. Just got back tonight.

Here's my thoughts and suggestions of the dive business there. Others may disagree, but, again it's just my experience, observations and research.
- I would suggest finding a dive shop that asks you alot of questions about your experience. It is one way they sort divers. The other might be by your first dive with them. Your most recent diving seems to be heavily weighted.
- Find a shop that uses "fast" or "six pack" boats, and at least two or more. This way they can split the experience levels. If they primarily use larger boats, the experience levels will be mixed and you'll be diving to the lowest experience level on "practice reefs".
- 100 ft may be the deepest they would plan.
- Larger tanks are not always to extend dive time. They may be offered to heavy breathers.
- You mentioned 3 dives per day. Your third dive would be the afternoon dive and probably after returning back to the dock. These afternoon dives are usually shallow (60' or less) and could be a mix of diver experience again, including Discover Scuba and training type dives.
- Find a shop that dives by computer and/or air consumption. Some dive by time.
- If you email them and get no response, try calling. Some email has a hard time going either direction.

I know you don't need coddling, but, a shop I just used was Blue XT Sea Diving. Their cost is slightly higher, but it was reflected in their service. Being downtown was a plus for me.

There are maps available of Coz at that may help with logistics. Lot's of info.

And lastly, use a Taxi. For the daily cost of a car you'll save some coin.
