Comments	The good: Dive with Cristina is the best operation on Cozumel. It is run by Cristina Roman and her companion Luis. Luis has been an instructor on Cozumel for 30 years and Cristina about the same. Until last year they worked either as private instructors/divemasters or for the existing operations in Cozumel. Last year they purchased their own dive boat, Nena, and now offer a diving experience unparalleled in Cozumel. They are the best for four reasons: they actually care about their divers, they are passionate about protecting the reefs, they are extremely knowledgeable about the aquatic life, and they are extraordinary instructors eager to improve the quality of their newer divers' diving. They both speak fluent English (Cristina has a degree in architecture from a U.S. university). If you want it, you will be showered with individual attention and tips to improve your diving. After two trips to Cozumel with Cristina and Luis, my diving has improved exponentially, both from specific techniques for buoyancy control and overall confidence. My husband and I have been fortunate to have their boat to ourselves on two occasions. While this experience will become increasingly rare, I'm sure, as word gets out about the quality diving experience offered by "Dive with Cristina," their operation is small enough that they will always avoid the cattle-car experience offered by other operators in Cozumel. I cannot say enough about Cristina and Luis. Where else in Cozumel can you have a private boat, enjoy sea kayaking between dives, and learn countless small details about the area while traveling to specific reefs.
