Diving in Cozumel
This little island off the coast of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula was a sleepy little fishing village until 1961 when Jacques Cousteau visited and pronounced the reef to be one of the most beautiful in the world. That moment changed Cozumel former, and the island is now known as one of the premier diving spots in the world. What makes it so special? Sure, there are lots of great diving areas in the Caribbean; however, as Cozumel...

Okay, let’s face it. You probably wouldn’t be coming here if you weren’t interested in diving. Utila isn’t known for its white sand beaches. Sure if you want a slow pace this is a wonderful location, and one of the safest places in the world.

I’ve been able to dive a LOT (went from 14 dives to 104 in about 2 months), and Tigger even earned his junior open water...
When in Cozumel. . .
So at last our time in Cozumel has ended. For now. Today we take the ferry over to Playa del Carmen. While in the area we’ll visit Isla Mujeres and possibly Holbox Island. Most likely we’ll also check out Chichen Itza and Coba from here as well. I’ll work out the details later when I have a better grip on what we’re doing and when. Right now the big focus in Playa is getting our tickets to Cuba (since I...
