Due to the recent port closings I decided to schedule my second (and
last) dive day on a larger boat to preclude loosing a day if the port
were closed to smaller boats.

I am not a patron of larger/cattle boats so this left me with little
to go on.  However, Michelle at Liquid Blue gave me two options
despite loosing my business for the day (another reason why I will
recommend and use Liquid Blue on future trips).  She mentioned that
Blue Bubble had a new boat as Dive Cozumel.  Another person mentioned
that Dive Cozumel made beach stops so I went with them.  Walked about
a block and took care of pre-dive arrangements and was to board at the
Aldora pier at 9 AM.  

Their were two groups on board, perhaps 12 total, and the boat was not
crowded.  I actually enjoyed the experience of a larger boat when you
are not sitting shoulder to shoulder.  

The other group went first...then an instructor and student (OK, three
groups), finally the owner, his technical dive student, myself and one
other diver.  The pre-dive brief was fine and I was able to do what I
wanted which is the way I like to dive.   I had obtained a larger tank
that enable me to do a slightly more aggressive dive than usual and do
it safely.

Between dive snacks included fruit, cheese, crackers, etc and water.
I never saw soft drinks but did not ask about them either.

My only "negative" was that the boat did not stop at a beach club
between dives.  I asked the owner why and he gave what may be a
realistic answer but was not sufficient for me since neither reason
applied to me.   I need my beach time between dives!

Other than that, I was very pleased with the dive service, the boat
and owner willingness to allow diver freedom.  

Another potential selling point of this dive shop for some people is
that they do technical diving.  I believe that the owner and his
student were using trimix.   Might be an option if I ever decide to do
extended deep diving.
