Dove with Aldora Divers. Very professional organization with top Dive masters. I have about 500 dives in Cozumel over the years but this time I dove Barracuda and San Juan twice. The current was strong but not ripping at 6 plus knots as I have read in the past. Lots of Lion Fish, Eels, Turtles, Sharks, and the standard Tropical fish of the region. Basically did 90 minute dives on (Noitrox) every dive over the 10 days of Diving. Great Diver assistance getting in the boat and having gear ready to dive. The Villa is in a nice convenient location just North of town, close to walk to Town center in 20 minutes. The Dive Boat picks you up every morning 7.30 am and drops you off depending on where you have been diving from 1 to 2 pm. Villa posts your dive boat and who you are diving with. The Dive shop does a great job pairing you up with other divers of your skill level.
