Comments this was the most recent of 5 five trips with buena ventura since june 2007. this is a six pack, fast boat outfit with victor as captain and jorge as dive guide. they are excellent both above and below water. the diving was typical cozumel with 10 dives spread between punta sur and paraiso and currents varying from just a little to lots. jorge is a vigilant, safety conscious guide with excellent knowledge of the reefs and a very good eye for life on the reefs, large and small. victor is a rock solid, heads up captain. they are both a lot of fun to dive with.
they are my first choice dive operation in cozumel.
