Comments	As usual Tres Pelicanos is and continues to be our operator of choice for 6 years on Cozumel Island. Easy to schedule diving via e mail with instant response to questions alterations to schedule etc.Equipment malfunctions handled quickly, locally, and economically by the shop. Boats are fast,wide and limited to 8/10 maximum divers with very competent dive masters. If you arrive at the shop by 7:40 AM you are transported to the marina at no charge. Also you can be picked at your hotel if on the way to the marina at no charge. Our accommodations at Villa Las Anclas are walking distance to many fine restaurants and one half block from the dive shop. Neat clean modestly priced 8 unit property with one bedroom and one bath rooms, pool,and AM coffee,

UW Photo Comments	A large Rubbermaid container is aboard with room for two/three sizeable camera rigs. Go pro or smaller rigs with lights six will fit sans big rigs.Of course it is filled with fresh water and your rig can be handed to you after you back roll into the water. Lack of fishing control in the Marine reserve has negatively impacted the larger fish population.Reef closures unnecessary.
