Comments	I began the 2009 year by diving the island of Cozumel. This was the second consecutive year that my girlfriend, Margi, and I chose to stay at Scuba Club Cozumel (SCC). SCC claims to cater to divers, offering affordable stay and dive packages. Such dive packages include two-tank morning boat dives and unlimited shore diving. During our three mornings of diving, we dived a variety of sites from Palancar Caves to Paradise Reef. SCC requires six divers minimum to do either its two-tank twilight dive or one tank wreck dive. Both are worth the price of admission. However, on this trip we were unable to do either. A good portion of the resort had been booked for a wedding limiting the number of divers. One day we circulated a sign-up sheet for the two-tank twilight dive only to find that the dive staff had hid the sign-up sheet thus discouraging sign-ups. This was a shame as while diving Cozumel during the day is a treat, diving at night is special. The reefs teem with octopi, squid, seahorses, etc. It seemed like the Resort had lost some of its focus on diving. Undaunted, my girlfriend and I decided to dive the house reef. In fact, we suited up three times and walked down the street to the lighthouse where we entered the water. A gentle current flowed towards the Resort. Each dive brought us different treasures. On one dive it was a lone seahorse in the rubble. Another dive brought us a red-lipped batfish. Heck, we even saw an underwater Mayan temple! The accommodations were nice although the mattress was hard. The rooms were well maintained. I don’t recall a camera room, working on my camera in my room. The food at SCC was very good and included in our package. Each day we were given several choices and none disappointed. Soft drinks and alcoholic drinks were extra. The town of Cozumel was a nice walk away. It really gets busy when the cruise ships are in port. I was disappointed in the reduced focus on diving this trip. When I travel I like to dive, dive and dive. I will think twice about diving in the future with SCC as there are many dive operations in this country that encourage diving.
