Comments	We'd read Undercurrent reports about Scuba Club, which was really helpful, as we knew what to expect. When we checked-in to the hotel, we were surprised that rooms are given randomly. We're used to paying extra to have an oceanfront or ocean view room, but at Scuba Club, you get whatever room they assign you. Fortunately, you're not in the room much, so ultimately it doesn't matter much. The food is superb!! We had a special vegetarian dietary request, which Mario's Fat Grouper Restaurant staff cheerfully helped with each day. We are "scuba animals" so we did every boat dive possible, plus lots of shore diving. The shore in front of the hotel is very brown and dead, with lots of rubble where fish and great critters like eels and octopi can hide (so look inside the crevices and cracks and you'll be rewarded!). LOTS of flounders on the sand. The night dives are great as the octopi are very active. If you dive straight out from the shore, you will eventually reach the drop-off which is very pretty . . . just conserve your air. Lots of great barricudas on every dive, and we saw nurse sharks and huge moray eels. The divemasters were mostly fabulous, with one exception of a guy who seemed very burned-out by his job and just wanted to get the divers in-and-out as quickly as possible. The dive shop counts the dive weights that you rent carefully, and they'll charge you if you don't return the same amount of weight, so be careful with these weights. The wind made surface intervals on boat dives very cold. Everyone was cold on the boat, and we switched from our summer wetsuits to 7 mm to deal with the coldish water and wind. One day, there was so much wind and chop that all dives were cancelled for the day up and down the coast. But it was January, after all. If you're heading to Cozumel in the winter, plan on taking extra neoprene. Lots of us were at the scuba shop across from the hotel, paying top tourist dollars for hoods, vests, polartechs, etc. Overall, we had a great experience and the value for your dollar is fantastic! We would definitely return.
