I am planning on a trip to Puerto Morelos in January. Any recommedations on diving. Is it possible to do it on the Cheap or do you have to take the charters? > I am planning on a trip to Puerto Morelos in January. Any recommedations on > diving.

Apparently, this diver though having had dozens of dives at Coz over the years has never seen a turtle there but always does on the Cancun side. I was quite surprised.

I have only done one dive in Cancun. My first ocean dive '89. The water was spectacular, but the currents were ripping. The guys we dove with started the dive by having us swim into the strong current. So strong that going down the line upon entering pulled my mask away from my face. We burned a lot of air just starting the dive. I prefer Coz > > I met someone the other night, that actually prefers to dive Cancun and/or > > Playa, instead of Cozumel.

After you got your mask back on, did you see any turtles? > I prefer Coz :^) It was the first time I had ever heard a diver say that they preferred Cancun to Coz, hence my surprise. Oh, it was also the first time I'd ever heard a diver that had been to Coz (more than once) say that they'd never seen any turtles there. >>>I met someone the other night, that actually prefers to dive Cancun > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > After you got your mask back on, did you see any turtles? I was so visually overwhelmed (plus I had been up since 3AM) I don't remember what the hell I saw) I guess I could check my log book >>>I am planning on a trip to Puerto Morelos in January.

That does seem odd.... having filled more than one logbook from Coz, it seems odd when I don't see one, rather than when I do. Maybe this other diver's attention was focused on something else?  Signaturejer email reply - I am not a 'ten' I've had many dives in Coz and Cancun and I have never seen any turtles, or perhaps I should say "almost never" because maybe I just don't remember. I *do* remember that the most turtles I have ever seen on any dive was when I dove in Akumal, south of Playa del Carmen. So if the guys want so see lots of turtles, I would suggest Akumal. > >>>I am planning on a trip to Puerto Morelos in January.

Well, ya, I thought so too. > having filled more than one logbook from Coz, it > seems odd when I don't see one, rather than when I do. Maybe this other > diver's attention was focused on something else? Can't imagine what. The diver is quite experienced, so it's not a situation like a newbie, who often misses lots of stuff. > > > I am planning on a trip to Puerto Morelos in January.

When I dove Cozumel last May, I lost count of how many turtles we saw. There were plenty of them. Gordon in Austin >> > I am planning on a trip to Puerto Morelos in January.

Turtles every day last week. Also splendid toadfish. Looked at Carol's pics today, gonna drop mine off tomorrow. I'll have CDs and prints on Tuesday.

I saw turtles on every dive when I was Cozumel two weeks ago. It was my first time to Coz/ I thought it was classic Caribbean diving, much like T&C and the Caymans, both of which I've been to a few times. I had a great time. Dan |
