Comments	Aldora Divers were very accommodating and ran a smooth operation. We delivered our gear to them the night before our dive week began and they tended to it and had it on the boat every morning. They try hard to put divers of similar interests and skills on the same boat. Their boats only take 6 persons, the guide and boat captain. They asked us where we wanted to dive, and as long as those places were safe for the conditions that is where we went. We dove a variety of places during the week and saw a lot of fish, coral and sites. The diving was typical Cozumel diving, mostly good weather and conditions, but we lost a few days of diving due to wind and waves, from an El Norte. We stayed at the Hotel Plaza Cozumel of our own choosing, it was not associated with Aldora. The Plaza Cozumel is a simple, inexpensive, extremely conveniently located, family run hotel. It serves a full course hot breakfast each morning. The rooms are not fancy, but they are reasonably comfortable for the price, the AC works, the pool on the roof is great. The hotel management lives on the premises and are very helpful and caring. All downtown restaurants and shops are close by (within a few blocks). If you want a fancy, luxury tourist experience DON'T stay here, if you want a nice, comfortable, inexpensive, locally run hotel then by all means stay here.
