Comments	the good: mostly well behaved divers; only I had own equipment; Irish scotish and canadian got along ok; the crew was prepared for vomiting with plastic bags; the crew did not want divers to barf over the side; few tropical fishes-- queen angel fish was pretty; divemaster Humberto seemed to be good and took care of my equip. the bad: the water was too cold; all the divers on that day trip. June 20th were TOO cold; some did not wear wet suits (since air temp. was ~85 F compared to bottom of 69 F); 7 of 9 divers got sick incl. me--not just sea sick; short dives (30-40 min. suited the cold waters; cancellation at front desk was ignored--not got prompt refund but got refund slip; Cancun diving is NOT worth it. wish to have known: the guest services mgr. would not put through refund slip given on june 20th; mostly begin. divers; cold water although air was very warm; should have not reserved 8 dives; should have only tried 2 dives rather than lose > $200 USD.
