Does anyone have the name of the Dive shop at the Fiesta Americana
Hotel in Cozumel?

Also can anyone recommend SSI or NAUI Training Centers there?

Thanks,

Ben,

Thanks VERY much for the information.

Just curious, is their a tienda or supermarket within walking distance
of the hotel or is the place pretty isolated? I won't be renting a
car.

there is a supermarket across from the Old Plaza Las Gloria (Chedrau)
Not actually within walking distance - I do not think. taxis are
readably available

Heck, we walked from Scuba Club to the plaza on a regular basis. And
hit Chedrau several times. Carol picked up a big block of achiote
that we're still working on.

Hi Sy!

This is Armando Elizalde, director of www.scubacenote.com. I would need
to confirm, but I believe that the name of the marina infront of Fiesta
Americana Cozumel is "marina sport"... I live in Playa del Carmen, the
mainland. I am dedicated to do cavern diving tours in the famous and
unique "cenotes" a very popular diving tour you shouldn't miss! fresh
crystal clear water, that gives you the feeling of flying between the
stalactites, stalagmites and colums. Amazing light efects and
fossiliced coral. And sicnce it is in the jungle, there are no boats
involved... Save $: Don't buy it in the dive shops, go straight to the
source! the diveshops will send you to me any way! I Could pick u up at
the ferry, compare prices! My E-mail: scubacenote@hotmail.com
shallow and easy and safe, maximum 4 divers per full cavern diving
instructor; always within the natural light and never trhough narrow
tunels... check my web site above.
You need to have at least entry level certification eg. PADI open
water, or equivalent.
sincerely Armando.

Armando;

I live near Brownsville, TX (Matamoros, Mexico). I was just wondering
about a drive to your location. Have you met folks coming to you in
this manner? That is: driving from Texas to Playa del Carmen.

Plaza Las Glorias is now the Moon Palace Cozumel. Chedraui is usually
our second stop when we get to the island - have to stock up on
groceries. We thought about driving one of our cars to the island and
leaving it there in our driveway - we have a house www.casaquetzal.com
- but it is a long drive from Dallas and there are some parts of Mexico
that I would not feel real safe driving thru.

Despite what the cruise directors are telling people:
1) there is no curfew on the island
2) the reefs are in pretty good shape
3) the wreck is bent but not broken
4) it is safe to get off the main street
5) the restaurants are safe

That's what I was afraid of. Matamoros comes to mind with regard to
places with unsavory characters. It's probably better to spring for
the airfare. Thanks.
