Comments	This was approximately our 30th trip to Cozumel and diving with Deportes Aquaticos. We love the Island and the dive operation. The Sandoval family has been diving these waters for 40 years. His son, Sergio Jr. and all the other dive masters are extremely helpful and very safety conscious. If you are an experienced diver with your own computers the dive masters give you freedom to have a nice long dive. Most of our dives ended at about 1 hour. However, the divemaster also look out for less experienced divers and make sure they are safe throughout the dive. I also appreciate that the divemaster let the divers decide which sites to visit. The only real exception to this is if the currents prohibit a particular site on that day. All dives are relaxing with plenty of time between dives to enjoy their home-made lunches. Their boats are somewhat slower and small, 10 people max, but there is usually plenty of room to sit or lay. We were picked up at the Fiesta Americana pier at about 9:30 and returned at about 3:00. There is always a crew member ready to help you with you gear and any other small need you may have. Deep sites have incredible coral formations and walls. The shallow sites have coral, a large diversity of fish life and macro detail. You may even see a shark or turtle. For me this is the best dive operation on the island.
