Scuba Forum / Scuba Locations / February 2005Cancun..Playa del Carmen..Cozumel
We are going to spend some time in Playa del Carmen and are looking for recommendations on dive operations there as well as Cancun and Cozumel (we understand it is only a ferry ride away). Any input or advise based on your experience would be appreciated. Looking forward to a great vacation. Have not been under water for three years. Last dive trip was to Curacoa in May 2002. Caught a small case of cancer somewhere along the way (found about it in June 2002). Had chemo and radiation which killed the better part of a year. Decided to go ahead and build our dream house (figured if the cancer didn't kill me something else would anyway). That killed another year just to be able to move in. Been landscaping and doing the "sweat equity" thing for another year. My how time does fly. The best news is that I am as clean as a cat's A#$ two years after radiation. Thank you Jesus for small favors. tlc... > We are going to spend some time in Playa del Carmen and are looking for > recommendations on dive operations there as well as Cancun and Cozumel > (we understand it is only a ferry ride away).

Any input or advise :based on your experience would be appreciated. I suggest either Caballito del Caribe, (http://www.seahorsecozumel.com/) or Seafaris in Cozumel. Both shops cater to day trippers from the mainland. They do this by leaving from a dowtown pier at 10 am.

Even better, stay in Cozumel and save on the ferry fare. > Caught a small case of cancer somewhere along the way (found about it > in June 2002).

Watch out so the same thing doesn't happen to you. > My how time does fly. The best news is that I am as clean as a cat's > A#$ two years after radiation. Thank you Jesus for small favors. If Jesus granted small favors, why did he give you cancer in the first place? Perhaps TonyP can explain it to you since he knows Jesus better than I do. Still, there are plenty of Jesuses in Mexico so you can thank them all on your dive trip. A few pesos apiece is the recommended gratuity for cancer relief. >Cancun diving sucks.

How was the place you stayed, etc.? try further down the coast in Akumel, it was very good. no walls like coz, but very healthy reefs and lots of fish elliott Skip Elliott Bowman wrote: > > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > > try further down the coast in Akumel, it was very good. no walls like > coz, but very healthy reefs and lots of fish I have been in Akumal when there were almost no fish (in June), and have heard it as a frequent complaint about the place. We were there in October, and there were lots of fish and a healthy reef. There is an incredible wall 10 minutes from the beach at Akumal, but the top is at 200 ft. There are lots of really big fish there. I was in Cozumel three weeks ago, did all my diving with Deep Blue, and found them to be very accommodating as far as dive times, sites, etc. You may want to shy away from some of the "advanced" sites since your skills may be a bit rusty, but Punta Sur-Devil's Throat was a blast. > We are going to spend some time in Playa del Carmen and are looking for > recommendations on dive operations there as well as Cancun and Cozumel [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > tlc... |
