Comments	Our second time in Cozumel and we returned to Fiesta Americana & Dive House. Hotel was very good and met our needs: not luxurious, but comfortable and a very good value. Went with the all-inclusive package this time and was glad for it. There were a lot of flies around the buffet area. My youngest son often at on the pier to avoid them. Staff and service were outstanding. Dive House was on site, convenient, competent, but not as exceptional as on our trip in Jan 2005 when two of the DM's really stood out. In contrast to Doc Vikingo's report in Undercurrent 21:4, we were surprised by the LACK of apparent hurricane damage to the reefs (except during shore dives), especially when compared to the destruction on the surface. HOWEVER, every site we dived was different from the ones we saw in 2005, so we can't make direct comparisons. I would definitely go again (hopefully soon!), and stay at Fiesta America, and use Dive House.

UW Photo Comments	Had a new digital camera. The combination of shutter lag and very fast current resulted in many blurred and off-set photos. At times I wished for my old film camera with its instant shutter release.
