Comments I have 481 dives logged, 15th trip to Cozumel since 1984. Typical Cozumel diving. We dove with Dive House for one day. Their shop is at Sunscape Sabor, and they pick you up at the Secret's pier next door. Esau and Ivan at the shop were easy to deal with. Two-tank morning or afternoon dives were $95. No packages. Cheerfully refunded our money the second day when the boats didn't go out due to wind. My wife and I prefer afternoon dives. Dive House will go out with just one diver, whereas another nearby operation required a minimum of three divers. The boat, Dive House III, was roomy and comfortable, with a head. DMs Gabriel and Victor gave good briefings and paid attention to their divers in the water. Captain and deck hands were good. Profiles were 83'/54 min on Santa Rosa Wall and 55'/52 min on Paso de Cedral. Surfaced with plenty of air remaining. Reefs from Palancar south that had been closed in late 2019 were reopened.
