Comments Once again the Scuba Club did not let us down. The accomodations were clean and well maintained. The maid service is excellent.
The food was excellent, and the waitstaff were friendly and helpful.
The menu has plenty of variety.
The dive operation and facilities were right on the money.
Dive and boat staff were friendly, helpfull, and knowledgeable.

The one downfall for the week was the variability of the usually constant south to north currents. Currents changed hour to hour which made shore diving hit or miss.
Currents on the boat dives were just as variable and at times quite strong.
My family and I had thought that the dive staff should have checked currents at the dive sites and changed sites based upon the currents.
Two or three dives during the week looked like an underwater sandstorm due to high current. One dive was actually entirely against the current.
Most of the week the dives were what I would have come to expect from Cozumel diving.
