Comments	The diving is still great, and it's easy to get here, but Jeremy is phasing out from leading dives every day, to concentrate on the business side of his operation. It was inevitable that he couldn't continue doing both full time. He's working on getting great guides (but nobody can replace him!) and they still offer excellent concierge service. They pick you up at either the downtown dock, or your hotel's dock along the coast, and they are fantastically prompt. They take care of your gear for however many days you dive with them, and offer a lot of water and snacks on the boat, as well as a surface interval at a beach bar/restaurant. The "parkas" for the windy trip back after diving are SO welcome! The Jewfish is a relatively big, fast boat with easy off and on, which comfortably accommodates the usual 6-8 divers, and gets to dive sites early each day. We always stay with David and Magda in town at their B&B because the location is so convenient to most restaurants, as well as the downtown pier. Her breakfasts are Yucatan specialties at their best, and they're quite filling as well as very delicious.
