[None]We had the same DM all week, and he was accomodating.  Strong
currents and down currents on several dive sites.  Small groups made the
diving fun--no crowds.  Also, Papa Hogs has its own restaurant across the
street, which has the best breakfasts and burgers on Cozumel.  Villa Blanca
is simple, but the upstairs rooms are large, airy, and clean, and they give
you a five gallon jug of water.  The garden and pool were a great place to
relax, and there was never a problem with anything we asked for.
