Comments	This was our seventh trip to cozumel. We have watched the island change because of tourism and crewships. Many of the eating establishments have begun to cater more to the crewship crowd. It's harder to have a laid back vacation. The diving this trip was excellent. The guys at Diving Adventures especially Rosendo our divemaster and Gato our captain took very good care of us. We found a group of excellent experienced divers and the five of us pretty much dove where weather and conditions would let us. One of the highlights of our dives were San Juan/Barracuda. Rosendo our divemaster told us he could take us to a place to hopefully see a school of eagle rays. He was correct. We dove this site twice and saw eight to ten on the first dive and we sat on the sand in a notch in the reef on the second dive and had the school of eagle rays swim around us for about 18 minutes. We also saw several hawksbill turtles over the week of diving. Overall we were very pleased. Villablanca was a nice place. Very laid back. Service was good and the price was right.
