Comments [None]My husband & I are avid divers with over 100 dives per year. The diving in Cozumel is great as everyone knows so the only variable is where you stay and who you dive with. We found Scuba Club to be less than we expected. Lockers are available but you have to buy a lock, seriously!! No place to hang your gear up except on your patio. That is good if you are on the ground floor but we were on the 3rd floor. Room was great but we had to drag wet dive gear through the room to the balcony. There was no assistance or use of a cart to get your gear and weights to and from the boats as is common at other “dive resorts”. The package includes 2 tank morning dive but afternoon dives were only available once during our 1 week stay. It is odd that a so called dive resort makes it difficult to do an afternoon or 3rd dive. We were able to get afternoon dives at Hotel Cozumel next door whenever we wanted. The dive boats and staff were very good to outstanding. It was a pleasure to be in the water and on the boat with them. The people who run the dive shop were not nearly as customer friendly. The food was great, maybe as good as the restaurant staff but we did not have the dinner package. We would assume the dinner experience would be the same high quality of food and service. There is very little if any bar activity possibly because the drink prices are 30-60% higher than anywhere else except Cancun airport. We love Cozumel and will return often but we felt the resort did not live up to its reputation and there are better values to be had.
