Comments Good - only two divers, except for one other on one day.
- long dives - some interesting wildlife - fast boat - some nice swimthroughs and drift diving - liked the hotel (lots of room) - good restaurants - GREAT cenote dives, esp. Taj Mahal - the Yucatan ruins - no problems with the rental car - only got lost once - no snow.
Bad - blown out two days - strong current/downwelling that forced us in a lot of swimthroughs (for safety) - currents reversed (saw the same scenery twice) - swam through "sandstorms" - Cozumel was more urban/populated than we expected - driving is not a "wonderful" adventure - some roads are pretty bad - had to leave and go home.
I take too many clothes.

UW Photo Comments No fresh water rinse container - there was a bucket that my housing didn't fit in. Forgot to take the camera lens cap off on one dive, almost opened the housing up at 80 fsw, but then thought about it - not a good idea!
