Comments	My wife and I have made 12 trips to Cozumel in the past three years and this was the fourth time that we have used Living Underwater. Jeremy Anschel formerly the divemaster for LU has been the owner of the operation for the past four months. The personal attention from boat cushions to cold water, to fresh fruit was extremely nice. The big towels and dry parkas were quite welcome. All of our gear was rinsed and laid out the next morning. There was no packing gear back to the hotel. Our average bottom time on ten dives was 1hr and 20 minutes with the longest being 1hr 33 minutes. As we were veteran divers with LU we we asked how deep we wanted to go and was usually 100 to 120 feet with the second dive in the 70 foot range. All diving was done with 95 or 120 low pressure 2400 steel tanks. Excellent fills and very slow diving. The boat holds a maximum of eight divers. On two days there were only two of us diving and on three days there were three addtional divers. We saw over a half a dozen spotted eagle rays and numerous turtles during five days of diving.
