Comments The folks are Dive Paradise are friendly, helpful, and competent. There is good diving off the pier at Hotel Cozumel and I have used that space to conduct check out dives with students. The only down side of the location is the long boat rides to the south end of the island. You can pay extra to be on the fast boats.
