Scuba Forum / General / July 2006Name of Dive Shop at the Fiesta Americana Hotel in Cozumel
Does anyone have the name of the Dive shop at the Fiesta Americana Hotel in Cozumel? Also can anyone recommend SSI or NAUI Training Centers there? Thanks, Sy  SignaturePlease post and reply to sytech@yahoo.com > Does anyone have the name of the Dive shop at the Fiesta Americana > Hotel in Cozumel? Juan Leca's Dive House > Also can anyone recommend SSI or NAUI Training Centers there? http://www.101scubadiving.com/directory/cozumeldivingcenters.html Ben, Thanks VERY much for the information. Just curious, is their a tienda or supermarket within walking distance of the hotel or is the place pretty isolated? I won't be renting a car.

And hit Chedrau several times. Carol picked up a big block of achiote that we're still working on. Signaturedillon JAFO Hi Sy! This is Armando Elizalde, director of www.scubacenote.com. I would need to confirm, but I believe that the name of the marina infront of Fiesta Americana Cozumel is "marina sport"... I live in Playa del Carmen, the mainland. I am dedicated to do cavern diving tours in the famous and unique "cenotes" a very popular diving tour you shouldn't miss! fresh crystal clear water, that gives you the feeling of flying between the stalactites, stalagmites and colums. Amazing light efects and fossiliced coral. And sicnce it is in the jungle, there are no boats involved... Save $: Don't buy it in the dive shops, go straight to the source! the diveshops will send you to me any way! I Could pick u up at the ferry, compare prices! My E-mail: scubacenote@hotmail.com shallow and easy and safe, maximum 4 divers per full cavern diving instructor; always within the natural light and never trhough narrow tunels... check my web site above. You need to have at least entry level certification eg. PADI open water, or equivalent. sincerely Armando. > Does anyone have the name of the Dive shop at the Fiesta Americana > Hotel in Cozumel?

I was just wondering about a drive to your location. Have you met folks coming to you in this manner? That is: driving from Texas to Playa del Carmen.

Chedraui is usually our second stop when we get to the island - have to stock up on groceries. We thought about driving one of our cars to the island and leaving it there in our driveway - we have a house www.casaquetzal.com - but it is a long drive from Dallas and there are some parts of Mexico that I would not feel real safe driving thru. Despite what the cruise directors are telling people: 1) there is no curfew on the island 2) the reefs are in pretty good shape 3) the wreck is bent but not broken 4) it is safe to get off the main street 5) the restaurants are safe >> I live near Brownsville, TX (Matamoros, Mexico).

That's what I was afraid of. Matamoros comes to mind with regard to places with unsavory characters. It's probably better to spring for the airfare. Thanks.

Thanks. > > Wayne I saw an article on CNN today that said the Mexican army has moved into the state of Tabasco to quell drug gang related violence and there are still rebels in Chiapas. To get from Brownsville to to Playa, you have to cross one or both. Given the state of political unrest (that may last another 6 years until the next election) I am going to be careful about driving around in Mexico - particularly with a US license plate on the car. Remember too that your US insurance does not (generally) cover you in Mexico and if you are in an accident it is Napoleonic code and they will lock you up until you pay any damages.

The one 20 miles from my house on the US boarder. >Google Earth thinks of that as Nuevo Progreso One 's' sorry. It's confusing I think Nuevo Progreso is on the MX side. and Progreso is on the US side. or the other way around. Everybody calls it Progreso. I see what your talking about though. There's a Progreso down on the Yucatan. Sorry for the confusion. Anyway, my thoughts of driving through Mexico were short lived. If I go to the Yucatan area, it will be via air. I've got a friend in Florida that took the ferry from Tampa. He's big into caving. His group took their own cars and gear. It was a real expedition. > I've got a friend in Florida that took the ferry from Tampa. He's big > into caving. His group took their own cars and gear. It was a real > expedition. Last time I checked on it, the ferry service had been discontinued. Had thought about that myself. Not that bad a drive from Dallas to Tampa and Merida to Playa is all good roads and only a few hours. > I saw an article on CNN today that said the Mexican army has moved into > the state of Tabasco to quell drug gang related violence and there are [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > cover you in Mexico and if you are in an accident it is Napoleonic code > and they will lock you up until you pay any damages.

Chuck is 100% dependable. The house looks good Chuck. You've updated your website since I first saw it. Is everything back together since Wilma? Lee > I've known Chuck and his wife since before he purchased his house on > Cozumel, let alone refurbished it. Chuck is 100% dependable. [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Lee Emily knocked a garden wall down. We rebuilt it. Wilma knocked it and another down, stripped the garden of everything, put about 20 centimeters of water inside the house. With no power the pool got very nasty (we now have a generator). All told about 20K worth of damage and the insurance company finally paid off about 14 of it. All back in order. There are DVD's for sale in various places around the island that document Wilma. One of them has footage taken during the storm. Pretty scary. CH > There are DVD's for sale in various places around the island > that document Wilma. One of them has footage taken during the storm. > Pretty scary. Thanks, but no thanks. We had our own close encounter with Wilma. My loss was not as great as yours, but only because I replaced my roof last hurricane season. Lee >Plaza Las Glorias is now the Moon Palace Cozumel. Unless there has been a very recent name change it is the Cozumel Palace. http://www.palaceresorts.com/Resorts/CozumelPalace/Index.asp http://tinyurl.com/q2dza Ron Lee Hi! Yes, springdiver, you've got three Crossings: Laredo, Reinosa y Matamoros. The last two are the best, and you can aim to cross them after a good night sleep at Corpus Christi, trying to make it all the way to sleep at Ciudad Victoria, Tamaulipas (if you crossed by matamoros) Next morning, this is when you can decide, wheather you want to do the long shot to make it to Puerto de Veracruz, or split in two and only drive to Tampico and only to Veracruz the next day... From there you aim to Villa Hermosa Tabasco to sleep. Next morning, Drive across the south of the state of Campeche all the way to Chetumal, then take north to riviera maya...
