Comments	Opinions have to do with dive op's vis-a-vis hotel. Hotel great. Dive op's great. May, 2004, Undercurrent, seems accurate. Was on pier when Careyitos (preferred, b'cuz 6-pack with great operator; Sea Urchin great dive op but 12-pack. Both great. Dive crew struck over head by new edict that they produce doc's and pay per-head fee. Dressel, house dive op., went out with jammed boats and novices. Obviously (my opinion), Dressel seemed to be trying to skim seasoned divers who prefer native dive op's, for foreign company who couldn't possibly live up to locals. Wrote hotel management in effort to straighten out B4 next trip. No response at all. Think those of us who have been taking advantage of Coz for years (since '74 or so?) owe it to locals to show indignation about Dressel, Iberostar and attempts for corporate (what's new?)domination. In my last-attempted submission (which didn't go through because of misplacement of my address), I suggested a "buoy-cot." Why not--till this great all-inclusive hotel gets the "clu"?
