I'm going to Cozumel next week. Weather.com says it's going to rain
EVERY day (30-60% chance) but no thunderstorms. Are they going to go out
for diving trips?

Are you worried about getting wet?

Rain itself never stops diving, but the storms that accompany it often do.
It's not thunder you need to worry about, but wind. Cozumel is one of the
better places to dive in the rain because there's not much soil to cause
run-off and murk up the water. Consider it a post-dive fresh-water shower
for those boats otherwise unequipped. If you haven't picked your boat yet,
you may want to find one that has some cover or a dry cabin area if there's
anything you don't want getting wet. A dry bag is a good idea even when
there's no rain.

Relax. Tropical rains run 30-90 minutes in length. Nothing to them.

And a damn fine one, at that.

Stay in touch with your dive op - they'll know if the port is closed due
to high winds.
