Comments	These were two (2) dives that were set up by Carnival Cruise lines. Completely unimpressive/disappointing. This was my first time diving Cozumel and it will be my last. Although the dive operator and Carnival may have contributed to the bad locations. Our first dive, Tormentos Reef, had such bad visibilty and seaweeds that we had to move. Second location wasn't much better. They called it drift diving although there was not much current and very little live coral. Max depth was 65 feet. My buddy and I were the last two to surface after 38 minutes and I still had over 1200 psi left. The second location they called Paradise Reef but we were so close to the Cruise ships docked at Puerta Maya Pier I could have easily swum over to the ship. I started the dive with less than a full fill at 2954 psi. I wasn't worried since I figured I'd still have air. I was right! We did 43 feet for 47 minutes before the dive was terminated. I still had over 1100 lbs. Not much marine life, not much live coral, not a very cost effective set of dives.

Hi Jack, I'd say you did not have a typical Cozumel dive experence and that you might want to give it another try on a real dive vacation. Send me an email and I will give you my persoal recommendations. Good diving, Craig
