Comments Fantastic dive operation. No diving restrictions except personal air usage/deco limits. Our experienced group (23 years together)of 17 divers dove in 6-packs with knowledgeable, helpful dive masters and boat captains. Tanks were steel 120s and all dives were greater than 1 hour (one was 90 minutes!)We dove Cozumel's west side from north tip to south tip (Maracaibo). Aldora is one of the best operators we have ever dived with. It is a must for experienced divers.

Hotel Cozumel was clean, convenient to town, fairly priced and had a very attentive staff. We ate away from the hotel except for their delicious and varied breakfast buffet of hot and cold selections.
