Comments	Diving: Aldora Divers takes care of your equipment, and you only have to worry about your wet suit. They use 100cuft tanks, and this allows very long dives. I regularly came up after 1 hour with a third of the tank full. Temperature on these dives were about 75F. I was diving with an old 5mm and a 3mm vest, and was fine. But I get cold easily. I dove 3 days. Both divemasters, Mario and Luis were excellent. I was last in Cozumel about 8 years ago, and the place has changed a lot. The underground topography is dominated by sand, and it looks like a Lunar landscape. But outstanding, relaxed diving. On one of the dives we saw an unforgettable sight: An eagle ray diving into the sand, getting a mouthful of clams and repeating the process several times. This happened on Palancar Bricks; I highly recommend this site. Hotel: We stayed at the Fiesta Americana. It is about $6 out of town, so figure this on your cost. It is a very nice place, but it does not have a beach. But it does have scuba diving facilities. Food: We ate at La Perlita, La Choza, and La Mission. All of them were excellent. In general the food improves as you get farther from the coast.
