Comments Aldora Divers was a very nicely run operation. They were very accommodating and professional. The dives were great and the dive masters were continually pointing out critters to photograph. Octopus, Rays, Barracuda, and of course turtles were seen often.

The only problem we had was with the Iberostar Hotel not letting operations other than their Dressel Divers load or unload at their dock. It has always been an understanding (to my knowledge) that all docks were available to all dive operations on Cozumel. None of the other hotels seem to have any trouble with operations picking up and leaving off divers staying at their hotels.
