Safari Diver was one of two 5 star dive centers we found on the island. All
of our plans were made over the internet with Donna, who is one of the
owners. She was great and helped us every step of the way. The dive center
was staffed with helpful people and they went out of their way to help us
when we had regulator problems. The boats were nice, especially the fast
boats. They got you to the dive sites first in the morning and we were
rewarded with sharks on those dives! The Dive master went out of their way
to point out creatures on dives, but allowed you to explore on your own
(within reason) if you wanted. I you were staying at one of the beach
resorts, they were willing to pick you up in the morning. Safari Diver does
have rooms upstairs which are clean and nice, but have few amenities.
Because we were staying in Playa del Carmen, we stayed a night in one of
the rooms and were very satisfied. 
The fish life in Cozumel is getting better and better. We are seeing more
fish their than ever before and the corals are looking good. It was nice
seeing sharks their, that is a first for us and a sign of health in the
region. The drift diving is a blast if you haven't experienced it yet, but
leave your camera on the boat for those dives. Make sure you do a night
dive, it was the best yet!
All in all, Cozumel is still the cheapest and one of the best dive areas
around the world.
