RE: A Visit To The Mexican Island Of Cozumel
Cozumel is about scuba diving.
Some of the best scuba in the Northern Hemisphere of the planet...
Also for me, the little island of Cozumel is much more serene and relaxing for a vacation, than Cancun across the water, a ferry ride away.
Yeah diving is meant to be great, although the prices we were quoted were very expensive and we are travelling on a budget unfortunately.
Your picture looks great though!!!
Most of the diving sites in Cozumel are too deep for a snorkel (usually limited to 20ft with a snorkel).
ANY TIME OF YEAR IS GREAT in Cozumel!!
If you want to scuba, you need to be certified as a PADI diver before you go.
If you want to travel and scuba, buy your own fins, mask, snorkel, gloves, wetsuit, BC.
Then it is much cheaper to dive with a professional company organizing outings.
Cozumel is very competitive for scuba diving and you should be able to get a very good price if all they need to do is rent you an air tank and get you out to the dive site.
ANY WHERE IN THE WORLD: You can hire a boat and rent a tank of air yourself and save a lot of $$$.
And often, if you hang around in bars and meet people on the beach, you can get a free ride on a scuba outing with a friendly boat owner, who will let you use his air tanks ;-) ;-)
Wow great write-up @jhcooper7 and thank you sharing this Scuba info @surfyogi ...Question..
I just found out about WholeSale Traveling and on My Site I can choose from a gazillion places at all times..unlike TimeShares..but i'm torn between 2 Resorts One in Bali I can stay for 8 days only $400 Total and a Resort in Cozumel same 8 days but for $180 Total...
any1 Have experiences in Bali that would make me choose it over Cozumel? Thank You for Your Guidance & Cookies <3
I would not trust a site (travel club) offering rates this low. It's probably a scam..
Trust in airbnb and rent from a local property owner, if you don't know the market and want a smart place to stay. Or look at reviews for local hotels and contact them directly. Book flights with airlines, do it all yourself, and you will have a great time! ;-)
Reputable vacation-rental sites are: HomeAway, FlipKey, or Airbnb, all of which will protect your money from fraudsters.
Bali is very nice; I never found diving like Cozumel. Bali has colorful fish and mostly dead coral, in my experience. Maybe I don't know the right place to dive.. I don't recall where I was exactly.
Cozumel has the best diving toward the southwest of the island. I would recommend Cozumel if you want to see the most colorful coral reefs.
I put a little more in this post on Cozumel diving:
