Comments	Outstanding operator. Eight divers max on the boat, and with full load, can get a bit tight on the boat. LU uses steel tanks, so one can get incredible bottom times. Boat leaves at 8 am for the first dive and usually goes to Nochi Cocom beach for a long surface interval (over 1 hour) to get rid of all of that nitrogen. Back out for second dive around noon. We watched a nurse shark patrol, and catch a meal right in front of us. The boat is stocked with various beverages, snacks, and even some repair parts. O2 on board. DM Carlos used a SMB with a weighted line for safety stop - divers could float free, or use the line as they wished - good safety idea, considering the increased traffic in Cozumel lately. Second dive was on Paseo del Cedral, steels allowed 1 hour 22 minute dive at max depth of 66 feet. Besides the nurse shark, saw turtle, a pair of huge parrotfish, all varieties of angels, triggerfish, scrawled filefish, cowfish, tang, jacks, and snapper - a plethora of sea life. For moderately experienced to advanced divers, this is the best operator to maximize your bottom time.
