Comments	Second time at the Fiesta Americana on all-inclusive package. Always treated very well by staff and the dive shop has done an exceptional job of taking care of our group each time. We had our own boat and same crew each day. Dive Master was good in the water about pointing out things, but stayed with crew topside when out of the water. The 2004 Dive Master was much more friendly. Cozumel is Cozumel for visibility and lots of corals and fish to look at. Water seemed cooler this year than last and less large fish. Beach diving great for observing critters without having to go far (<500') or deep (15') A lot to see for snorklers too! Rooms not very diver friendly in setup, but clean and well maintained. Food good for where your at (Mexico)and plentiful. Entertainment lacking, but we're not there to be pampered. Definitely would go back again!
