Our cruise ship (Carnival Paradise) was in port for only a day so we made arrangements to go diving with Cozumel H2O. The communication was great from the beginning (Loes got back to our emails within 1 day). Came off the cruise ship and walked about 20 mins to the meeting spot (or you can take a taxi for $9). Met up with our guide Miguel and another couple who was diving with us.
We went diving at two different spots for approximately 45 minutes (Punta Tunich… can’t remember the other one off the top of my head). Saw mooray eels, a nurse shark, gigantic lobsters, octopus, and tons of various fish. Miguel was an excellent guide – we were all fairly beginner divers and Miguel did a great job of making sure we were all comfortable in the water. When one diver was lower on oxygen than the rest of us, he shared his supply so we could all continue diving for a little longer, and when I was having trouble staying close to the sea floor without touching any of the coral, he linked arms with me so he had a little more control. He also made sure that people with cameras got great shots of the sea life and has an amazing eye for spotting or knowing where the sea creatures are.
In between dives, we had a selection of fruit (mango, cantaloupe, apples, kiwi etc) and water to drink/snack on.
Made it back with enough time to browse some of gift shops around the cruise terminal before heading back to the ship.
Thanks Miguel and Loes (and Chunnito) for a great dive!
PS: there is a deposit when making reservations. I think you also have to either pay ahead online (if you’re paying with paypal) or with cash – We just paid cash.
