Comments	Bottom Time Divers provided superb service. The fast boat had a cover, and could hold a maximum of 6 divers. We had a group of 4 divers, and we were the only ones on the boat except for one day. Bottom Time Divers was very flexible about dive sites, times, pickup location, etc. Divemaster Raul was professional, thorough, and helpful. They cleaned -- not just rinsed -- our gear at the end of each day and had it set up and ready to go on the boat when we met them the next morning. They provided clean towels on the boat and bottled water, fruit, and snacks between dives. Diving was excellent, aided by Raul's knowledge of the Cozumel reef systems. On one dive we saw a large eagle ray, two large turtles, sea horse, cruising Nurse shark, yellow stingrays, flounder, nudibranchs, large groupers, angels, butterflies, triggerfish, grunts, parrotfish, and many others large and small. The shallower reefs had some sand covering from Hurricane Wilma, but marine life is abundant and visibility is great. La Ceiba resort has been extensively remodeled after Wilma and is clean, comfortable, and staffed by friendly and attentive people. The only drawback is the pressure when you first arrive to attend their time-share presentation. Once you attend or make it clear you don't want to, though, they usually don't push the subject again.
