Cozumel is one of the most popular and written about destinations. Search
Google groups, specifically rec.scuba.locations and you will find lots of
good information; it's current too.

You are going to get a lot of help....probably too much...

Good travel agent that knows Cozumel >>>> http://www.islandream.com/

Good web site for Cozumel hotels if you want to do it yourself >>>
http://www.virtualmex.com/cozumel.htm

Good websites for Cozumel information >>>>
http://www.cozumel-hotels.net/index.htm http://www.cozumelmycozumel.com/

My favorite dive shop is Aqua Safari. They will pick at all hotel
docks...I think >>>> http://www.aquasafari.com/
Two tank morning dive trip is $60US For $9 more they throw in a third
afternoon dive.
If you you don't need an all inclusive hotel and the accompanying expense
they have a nice, clean, spartan inexpensive ($40) rooms they rent that are
above the dive shop. See their website for photos. They also rent some
nice condos north of town. You will need a car (my opinion). The dive shop
is right on the water front in the middle of town.

Another inexpensive hotel that is on the water and about 1/4 mile south
from the center of town is the Hotel Barracuda. $70/dbl They added a
pool, pool side bar and restaurant. Dive Paradise dive shop is on site.
>>>>> http://www.hotelbarracuda.com

Last one....Scuba Club Cozumel. It's 3/4 to 1 mile south of town. It's
100% dedicated to divers. The price includes lodging, diving and food.
Makes it real simple. >>>>>>> http://www.scubaclubcozumel.com

Okay, one more...Cozumel Palace. All inclusive, $250-300/dbl low season.
That does not include diving. They are about 3/4 south of town. Aqua
Safari is the in hotel dive operator. I'm told the accommodations a re top
cabin and the food is great. Just more $$$ than I want to spend. I'll save
the extra $150/day and use it on the new motor I'm building for my '67
Fastback....another expensive hobby.

Hope this helps,

I heard that Barracuda went all inclusive, but they might not have.
I've always liked having dinner in town.I've stayed at what is now Hotel
Cozumel which is close to Scuba Club Cozumel, but the all inclusive part
is optional, unlike SCC. It would be hard to go wrong in Cozumel.
Bay Adventures (www.bayadventures.com) has been my choice for Cozumel
and Belize, but there are lots of good travel agencies.
