Comments	The shallow reefs of Cozumel, ie: Tormentos and Paradise are now effectively burried under sand. In some places under feet of sand. Santa Rosa and Punta Sur (deeper reefs) have a good dusting of sand. Noticeable by their absence are the abundant large green eels of the past and the large grouper. This trip I saw only one green moray and maybe a half dozen medium sized grouper. The underwater topography is radically altered from what I have seen on the 8 previous trips I have made to the island. Scuba Club Cozumel is in operation and doing well. Other hotels are still rebuilding and some will likely be torn down. There is significant damage to the vegetation on the island but it is already making a comeback. The underwater scene will take longer but recovery is already taking place. When the current is running you can watch the sand being blown of the reef structure. Cozumel is changed, and it's not all bad. It is all new. Bottom line, I'll go back in couple of years.
