Comments	These guys are the BEST. I've dived with them 4-5 times in the last calendar year, am friendly with all divemasters and instructors. They do strive to be the best and offer the best service. The hotel is the Allegro Cozumel, excellent rooms and service, the food is great, and they do a great job with the all-inclusive thing. I stay at the Allegro/Occidental First Club, a club within the resort. I have a timeshare there. Going back in September for two weeks--and back in December 09 for probably three weeks. I dive 32% Nitrox and enjoy first in/last out priveleges on each and every dive, and I get plenty of bottom time for the buck. When I was there in March 09, we had 12 (!) turtles on one dive! Also seahorses at Tormentos, schools of barracuda all stacked up like goods at Costco, sharks on most dives, mostly amazing water conditions. Makes me want to put a camera in the water for the first time in over 15 years.

UW Photo Comments	You want fresh water rinse tanks for your rig? They'll do it for you (but the validity of this request is questionable, since after surface interval, it's going back into the briny) Camera handed down as requested, handed up after dives.
