Comments Allen Chan (<allenscubacozumel@gmail.com> has a padi master scuba diving trainer certification and worked for a number of years for other dive operations. Several years ago he started on his own, and we (a group of 8 divers and 1 snorkeler) were referred through a friend. He provided a great week of diving, outfitting us with nitrox, coming to the pier by our rental house (13KM south of town), providing safe and excellent guiding (by him and a great colleague), and even having a between dive spread that couldn't be matched. The diving (mostly at the southern dive sites) was quite good, with healthy coral, sitings of sharks, rays turtles, eels, and lots of small stuff too. For a "tune up" week (especially for some in our group who hadn't been diving for a while), it was a great experience. If you don't want to take the long flights and want a great diving experience, this was the way to go!
