The people that I've met that stayed there liked it. Small resort, clean, good snorkeling out front. Pepe diving has been on island a long time, they will know their business. I have not used them. Your on the ocean how can you loose? Have fun. kev.

Can I ask about your experiences with Scuba with Alison? We have her scheduled for Jan because we've heard good things about her (mentioned in passing). Like is her gear in good condition? I have my own but one in my party will be renting. Is she respectful of limitations/conditions or just shove you in the water and that's it?

Most dive ops on Coz dont just shove you in. They will want to know your experience and how many drift dives you've done. Also let them know your recent dives. Most will know by how you handle your kit anyway.
Alison is greatly respected on the island as an owner/operator.

Hubby and I will be at the Grand Palladium in Puerto Aventuras from Nov 16-23, diving with Dive Adventuras.

We hope to get over to Coz for at least one day of diving, I hear its completely different from the mainland dive sites.

Ask away ... or PM me. We've been diving with Alison for 5 years come Thanksgiving Day. Over the years we've become good friends, and I can't say enough great things about her. From what I've noticed she keeps her rental gear in great shape (as well as her boat) and is an excellent and attentive DM. Doesn't hurt that she's funny as hell either!! I think I've become a better, and more relaxed diver due to diving with her. If any of your group has any concerns or questions, just let her know. She'll make sure to take care of you!

Thanks. LDS made it sound like the ops went to the difficult sites and there you were. These dives (in Coz) will be our first ocean dives so were a little bit nervous.
