Comments	On my 5th dive trip to Cozumel, I dove with Aldora divers and was very impressed with their operation. If you're looking for extended bottom times, this is the place to go! They run 120 cu. ft. tanks as a standard which translates into 50% more bottom time. Their dive boats are modern, well maintained, DAN oxygen equipped, and usually carry a max of 6-8 divers out to the reefs at speed. These are not 6 packs but full size boats with a cabin and overhead bridge that gives protection from the sun or the occaisional shower. We were usually the first boat out on the reef in the morning. The staff and divemasters at Aldora were very professional. After a first day check with you as to how you like your gear configured, they took care of all your set up on each of your successive dives. The divemasters gave good detailed perdive briefings and seemed to have great familiarlarity with the reefs. I was allowed to dive my own profiles within no deco limits. Aldora divers also offers day trips for cenote diving on the mainland and provide nitrox upon request. They seperate divers by skill level and put you on a boat with divers of similiar abilities whenever possible. I intend to dive with Aldora on my next trip to Cozumel and would highly recommend them to anyone with a desire for good service and extended bottom times.
