Comments	I had always heard so much about Cozumel, but I this was my first trip... I wasn't impressed. It is an easy flight from Houston, the hotel was ok, the people were friendly, and the dive operation was clean and competent. Now for the bad: The boats are slow and the better dive sites are far to the South. I saw enough of Paridise Reef... must be the only remaining shallow reef with any coral remaining. Cozumel is not cheap! There are much better Caribbean locations offering better value for money. There were at least 3 cruise ships docked every day... what a nightmare. The speed of the currents during many of the drifts leave much to be desired... since there were few large animals to see, high speed drifts don't allow you to enjoy the macro. I wont be going back.
