Comments It had been 12 years since my last trip to Cozumel, previously I made a trip yearly. My dive guide was always Jorge who worked at Blue Angel, where I stayed. Jorge was an important part of my learning to dive, following him around I learned buoyancy, how to go slow and look around to find interesting things. Last spring, due to Covid and not having traveled much I went to Cozumel to get out of the winter weather, staying at Blue Angel. I dove with them for a couple of days until I found Punta Sur divers and found Jorge AKA Cubano, who was part owner. And had the best dives of my trips. Although Cozumel had changed, Covid had slowed things down so it was not terribly crowded. The viz was not as I remembered it, Sargassum Seaweed had arrived. The swim throughs were fun, the current zipped us past the large angelfish, turtles, school of various fish. And the corals were not like they used to be but still impressive.
