Comments	This was our fifth time with Aldora Divers and third time staying at Villa Aldora. Aldora Divers is a first class operation - maximum of 6 divers (although one day we had 7 due to a scheduling problem) per fast boat, and often extra DMs for new divers. Tell the DM what you like to do, and they will accomodate (my wife and I like to "poke along" and take pictures). The DMs were great. When "newbies" were aboard, the DMs paid special attention to their briefings. We've used other operations in Cozumel, but have found Aldora to be the best. On almost every dive, several of the divers not staying at Villa Aldora were repeats with Aldora. Villa Aldora is a great place to stay. Pickups are at the Villa early enough to be first on site. Rooms are very nice - good cooking facilities (although we like to go out to El Moro, Kinta, and the other great restaurants in Cozumel), very clean and comfortable, Wifi and LAN both, great phone system, gear soaking and storage, etc. Excellent staff (extremely helpful and ready to serve. We've found that the resident managers (Brent right now) takes good care of you. Guests seem to be family by the time you leave. We'll be back!
