Comments Cozumel never disappoints as a dive location. Big & small critters, great coral formations and colorful sponges, and varied underwater topography: walls, tall coral columns & swim-throughs, or flat reefs, both shallow and deep. Helps if you are used to drift diving because there are moderate currents.

Alison Dennis (Scubawithalison.com)is the best. regular air or nitrox, max 8 divers so never a big crowd, and you pick the dive site.
Water & soft drinks and light snacks on the boat during your surface interval.

Meet at the marina, or she picks you up at your pier.
Alison always does a great job providing a first-rate dive experience.
