Comments Took a group of beginners to positively acclimate them to the joys of diving and achieved that objective. We had 10-15 boat dives plus the wonderful easy shore and night diving off Scuba Club. The notable exception was our neophyte curmudgeon who refused to even try a night dive. The facility is the same as ever, with no appreciable crew changes, but what is different and sad, is the low occupancy(20-30%). It appears to be more of a general malaise with Cozumel than Scuba Club although having fewer boats to pick from and not using the upstairs restaurant, is a moderate downer. It continues to be one of the best combinations of cost, convenience and competent land and sea operations with their mandatory slow boats.
