Comments	My husband and I did two tank dives with Aquaworld because it was basically free (using resort credits from Cozumel Palace). We waited ONE HOUR at the dock from the time of supposed departure (told to be there 20 minutes early) and then rode on a snorkeller laden boat back to their main dock before transferring to the dive boat...another 30 minutes. ONCE we got to the dive site the briefing was professional and the divemaster certainly looked after the inexperienced guy who kept bobbing upwards. We also overheard another Coz Palace guest say their morning dive was canceled shortly before departure. We've been to Cozumel about five times in the past decade or so and the reef/ fish conditions are actually a bit better than they were previously. This is amazing for all the divers present, even during off season. But if you are good on air and want to use more than half of it, go with Aldora or another of the operators that don't limit bottom time and were always on time for pick up at the dock at the Palace! We met other experienced divers staying there that were diving with their favorite operator! The pre Christmas rate for the all inclusive couldn't be beat and it is a very nice place to stay.
