Comments	Cozumel is a great quick getaway from the states- inexpensive and friendly with good diving. On my last trip I stayed at Village Tan Kah and dove with their in-house dive shop, Blue Bubble Divers. Both are owned and well-run by Roberta, a charming hostess. The property and dive shop are both small which means customized service. We arrived a few hours earlier than expected but the rooms were ready and I was able to get out of the heat and unpack. My family had a novice young diver (my 11-year-old granddaughter) and Roberta arranged for us to do shallow dive sites to accommodate. The fast boat had a full canopy covering. Initially there was no rinse tank for my camera but that was arranged without hassle every day afterwards- I will request one on booking next time. The dive guides were safe, gave good briefings, and watched over my granddaughters so carefully that I felt free to shoot video. There were no limits on the dive times, meaning that our shallow dives lasted over an hour. I was given freedom to lag behind when shooting photogenic turtles and eels. Night shore dives were easily arranged and they supplied a dive flag buoy for safety. The rooms at Tan Kah were spacious and the Monkey Room in which I stayed was well laid out for working on my camera including a large table and good window light on two sides. The air conditioning was excellent despite the hot summer weather. Breakfast was limited to yogurt, cereal, fruit and bread, which was tasty, but we supplemented with pastries from the panaderia. The property is too far from the town square for easy walking and cabs were easily available. It was a nice change from the busyness and regimentation some dive operation impose.

UW Photo Comments	The rooms at Tan Kah have good tables to assemble equipment. Rinse tanks are available on boats with prior notification at the beginning of the trip (daily reminders were NOT needed.) No camera rinse tank on the dock so I used the pool at Tan Kah... worked ok!
