Scuba Club Cozumel is conveniently located on a more isolated stretch of road, about a 15min walk from San Miquel de Cozumel. My son and I did a 7 nights / 5 day dive package and had a fantastic time! The resort is fitting for those whose first priority is diving. The resort and grounds are a little older, but very quaint with stucco buildings, arches, tile and passages. Our room was on the 4th floor at the end with a beautiful ocean view, a balcony and chairs. Rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable with drying rods outside and the tile flooring is easy to keep clean from sand and moisture. A central dining area serves a buffet breakfast each morning with eggs, pancakes, French toast, fruit and varying Mexican specialties before the morning dives. Lunches are also included, featuring a number of Mexican and American bar/grill food, and can be ordered off the menu - or a lunch special can be chosen at breakfast time. Food was simply prepared but very tasty and satisfying, with decent portions for hungry divers. A dessert is also included. Dinners can be ordered through the hotel for room pickup in the evening, but we preferred to walk to town each night. There are dozens of great taquerias and seafood restaurants within a 20min walk, and the farther inland you walk, the less touristy and more reasonably priced the food becomes. Alternatively, there are a few huge supermarkets within 10min where one can whip up a meal of fresh (less than $0.10) bolillo rolls, cold cuts and cheeses. We rented BCDs and regs the entire time from the spartan but practical onsite dive shop, with Al 80 tanks and weights included in our dive package. Good Scubapro equipment, but basic without integrated weights. I upgraded to a 100 tank to keep up with my son at additional cost. 2 morning dives are included per day, with added dives (we did a fantastic night dive) also available at additional cost. The boats arrive each morning, and divers are expected to be ready to board. Larger groups are assigned to larger boats. The two of us were assigned to a smaller boat with between 2 and 6 other people each day, with one and the same divemaster throughout. Tony was very thorough and helpful, providing a detailed rundown and instructions for each site prior to diving; it was like a private tour each day. Boat crew does a nice job setting up your gear and assisting you on board from the water. We were all about the same level and experience and the dives were absolutely spectacular! I've read some negative comments about the equipment and supervision - IMO you need to have a reasonable amount of dive experience here and always be self-sufficient. We were doing 50-60ft fast drift dives on day one and days 2&3 70-90ft drives at spots such as Columbia Pinnacles. Our equipment worked flawlessly, but we carry spare o-rings, asked for spare weights in advance, have and know our own dive computers, etc., none of that will be provided on the boats if needed. Be prepared also for bad weather and reef closure days - we had one and were able to shift our dive to the following day, but that will not always be the case. The staff was on standby until the reef opened with cheers and we were able to get our 5th day in before we left. Dive lockers and dunk tanks are very convenient and nearer the water, though a few drops of chlorine/cleaner in the tanks would have helped keep our dive suits/gear smelling fresher; things don't have real time to dry. Staff and service throughout was very professional and thorough. Waiters and dive shop personnel a bit intense at first, but folks warm up over time and bend over backwards to assist you and ensure your safety and comfort. Saw quite a few rude guests and witnessed what the staff has to put up with, until they see you aren't an ass. The front office called a rental car for us on our down day. We received it right in front of the resort and had a great day driving around the island; there is much to see and do. Scuba Club Cozumel exceeded our expectations for a dive focused, basic but clean and comfortable resort with excellent service and a great location. We will definitely be returning! read more

First and foremost, I actually really liked the resort. The staff at the resort was all incredibly nice and knew our names within a day or two. The facility is not modern but in good repair. The AC and shower were great, which are big deals to me. Also, being able to dive off the back of the resort was very nice. And the hammocks were my favorite place to lounge and hang out with the other divers in the afternoon. My 1 star review has ONLY to do with the dive shop. We rented equipment. Between my husband and I, we went through 5 regulators in 3 days of diving. Apparently doing basic maintenance on the equipment is not a top priority. One regulator popped a hose and luckily we were close enough to turn around to get me another. Another the gauges had air pouring out of them. On two of them, the depth gauge didn't work. The biggest issue for me was the air gauge was off. Like 400 psi off! I RAN OUT OF AIR DURING MY SAFETY STOP!! I brought it up to the dive shop when I went to get another one and he was like "oh, ok." No, OMG I am so sorry that happened. No, we will take care of this right away. Nothing but "oh, ok". They also had serious issues with their air tank O-rings. I would say we had to replace about half of the o-rings in the tanks before we could dive with them. Not sure how this is such an issue but I've done 20+ other dives at different places and have only had this problem once before. So, as a resort, I loved this place and am actually pretty sad I won't be going back. read more

First time here, and came with wife and two other friends. If you like diving, this is your place. Food was good, though not too notch, but the service from the wait staff, and especially the dive team, was excellent. If you buy their package it makes diving quite inexpensive. I'll be coming back until I can't dive anymore. read more

I travel a lot and dive a lot, so coming to Scuba Club, I can compare it to other dive resorts. I can't say this is my favorite resort but did I have fun and see lots of beautiful sea life? Definitely! The resort is in a great location. Safe and close to shopping and food and bars. The little beach area faces west so it's nice to enjoy sunsets every evening. The food and food staff were pretty good and friendly! They'd even stay late to feed divers that did a night dive. The dive staff also seemed great. Friendly and also attentive to their group of divers and ensuring safety. Some notes improvements that could help: While I got used to it, having to pick your lunch and dinner option at breakfast kind of takes away the vacation feel of freedom and spontaneity. Next, the pool is full sun during the hottest time of day with no umbrellas or shade options. I would have spent more time poolside between dives if there were shade. The dive gear storage area could use more thought. They provide lockers but these are just large areas to dump your gear and no way to hang them for drip drying. The dunk tanks are only flushed out once a day and get dirty quickly. Plus, unlike other dive resorts, the tanks have no cleaning enzymes in the water. At other resorts my gear was smelling better than ever and no, these were super fancy expensive resorts. Overall this is a good place and you'll have a good time. I probably wouldn't purposely go back but the diving is indeed fantastic. read more

We have stayed at Scuba Club 3 times now and it is the only place on the island we will go back to. If you are serious about diving, this is the ONLY place to go. If you want all the huge resort amenities and might dive some-then go to one of the huge resorts because Scuba Club is just about the scuba. We always request one of the rooms on the ocean side-great views! Each has a private balcony or patio and places to dry your gear. The rooms are tile and a bit dated (and the beds on concrete slabs are hard), but they have plenty of room and are clean with great AC. The dive operation is quite good. Good boats, great dive masters, usually not too overcrowded. The best reefs are about 45-60 minutes ride away, but worth it. Tip-you need to bring your own lock for the lockers. The breakfast buffet has a good selection, although it is usually lukewarm. The lunch options are good. Dinner includes 3 courses and varies from good to great. The service staff are fabulous and friendly. Back in the day, there were multiple places to stay for a good dive vacation but Cozumel has changed...and now this is it. Fortunately, it's a great place and we have made some great friends there. read more

The manager did not do the right thing and was not nice. The rooms were ok, the food was ok. the scuba was nice

It's our second time here in 5 years, and it doesn't disappoint. Spectacular diving, great service, clean & comfortable rooms. Very fair pricing. Well run operation. We will be back. read more

We originally planned on staying 9 days. The airlines changers our flight twice. The second time we were scheduled to leave after 7 days. The resort would not refund us our money on the days we were not staying. Keeping over $200 dollars of our money. The WiFi is horrible if you need to have access don't count on it unless you are sitting in front of the office. Rooms clean, bed was hard and sagged in the middle. Restaurant, housekeeping and dive staff were friendly. read more

I wish to commend Scuba Club and it's staff on how it handled Hurricane Grace.  To watch everyone swing into action in a moments notice to prepare for the weather was amazing.  And, to make sure the guest were safe and protected was very assuring. On my return home on Saturday the 21st, there were some real horror stories in the Airport regarding other tourist at other hotels.    Iberostar and others on that part of the Island lost electricity.  Reportedly for up to 4 days. The guest had to go to the swimming pools to fetch water to flush toilets.  And I heard some people got food poisoning due to lack of food refrigeration. Thanks again for being such a wonderful place to stay, and taking care of your tenants. As usual the staff is very friendly and accommodating. Well wishes for Sofia, Venesa, and Isabel at the front desk. Thomas, Francisco, Alberto, Alonso, and Stephanie at the restaurant, William, Jose', and Geiser at the dive shop. Until next year. Warm Regards, Alan Alan K. Levy Asheville, North Carolina. USA read more

I'm going back to this place. It was awesome. Great divemasters (Manuel and Miguel I'm talking to you guys!). Boat crews second to none. Ice cold A/C in the rooms, firm comfy bed, awesome pillows and tiled for wet divers. My room had a nice balcony with drying racks for wet gear. AWESOME shore dive (both day and night). read more

I got food poisoned here and it ruined my trip. Worst of all was how unprofessional and rude the admin staff was. I've reported this to PADI and am letting you all know what this place did to me. I only ate Scuba Club food: breakfast lunch and dinner. I woke up at 4 am on my second day here and starting vomiting and diarrhea in every direction. I lost so much fluid and needed to get to the hospital. I went to the gate but to my horror it was locked and I had no means of getting out of Scuba Club. "24/7 security" was nowhere to be found and I thought I was going to die of dehydration and seizures in Scuba Club. Miraculously, I found a ring of keys on the wall and started trying them out. Unbelievably, one of them worked. I escaped Scuba Club, hailed a cab, and went to the ER and incurred over $250 in medical fees. After I was discharged, I went back to Scuba Club and missed an entire day of diving, not to mention all my suffering and medical bills. The administration, Sofia and Tim Massimino, never apologized, never admitted fault, and did not make any attempt to compensate me for almost killing me. Sofia jokingly said "it was the heat" when the Dr. told me that it Staphyloccus aureus given the timing of the infection and disease presentation. I pushed myself to dive the next day and eat small bits of toast but I still suffered immensely. When I checked out and requested to speak with Sofia the manager again she did not admit any fault. I told her to look at the video cameras they have- I never left Scuba Club the day they poisoned me but she still did not admit any fault. Finally she gave me $40 but this doesn't event cover my lost day of diving ($120). In addition to getting food poisoned, Scuba Club's dive shop manager Raymundo was very rude and abrasive to me and many other people. When I first arrived at Scuba Club, I ordered my rental gear and made it very clear I wanted to dive nitrox. The next day before the boat left I asked for the tank and they said "it would be on the boat" but it never was. Luckily there were air tanks and I still dove, but when the boat came back their dive shop manager Raymundo pulled me aside and belittled me and made it seem like it was my fault that his team failed to communicate. He kept shoving papers in my face showing I did not sign up for nitrox. Obviously I didn't because nobody told me to. He never apologized and acted like a real jerk to not only me but other divers during the time I was there. Obviously people come to Cozumel for the marine life and yes this was good. But my stay and time was horribly ruined by almost getting killed at Scuba Club and their rude attitude. As far as food, poisoning aside, it was pretty bad. I've had much better Mexican food in Los Angeles. The bathrooms smelled awful too. There are many dive companies in Cozumel, and if you don't want your entire trip ruined (or poisoned and left out to die in the middle of the night) I highly recommend avoiding Scuba Club Cozumel at all costs. read more

Scuba Club - Nearly died at Scuba Club due to their food poisoning - Scuba Diving Near Me - Cozumel, ROO

If you come to Cozumel for diving, look no further. This is a dedicated dive resort, with its own 5-Star PADI dive shop, it's own boats, & own equipment. It's salad bar is safe, because they are dedicated to support you diving every day at some of the best dive locations in the world, not sitting sick in your room. It is on the shore, with very good shore diving (or snorkeling) right off the dock. You can sign out for as many tanks as your dive profile permits--no extra cost. You can walk a couple blocks to Chedraui to buy the toothpaste you left behind. It's not a place for the kids. No jet skis. No water slides. Just diving, supported by an attentive staff, who want to make sure you have a safe, satisfying dive experience. And with PADI training onsite, a good place to up your certifications. read more

We stayed here 2/2021. There were only a handful of people here so it felt like we rented the whole resort to ourselves. If you plan on scuba diving then I DEFINITELY recommend staying here! Service 5 stars!!! They open the gate for you leaving and entering!! The crews are all very friendly and attentive. In the morning, we would leave our gear on the dock and run for a quick bite. The sooner everyone is ready, the sooner you leave. The boat crew help you load and have water and juice in between dives. Breakfast and lunch are included! I wouldn't say the food is 5 stars... maybe 3-4. It's kind of like cafeteria food. If you need anything, ask the front! They can help you rent a car or get COVID testing. They actually have someone come to the hotel to get the test so you don't have to go anywhere. We rented a car to go around town and explore a little bit in the PM since you finish the boat dive at 2ish. THERE IS A SUNKEN SHIP DIVE!!!! It's extra ($55 dollars) and you have to have at least 4 people sign up but it is worth it!!!! Cozumel is definitely the best diving that I have done in my short dive career. The water is very clear and you see a lot of marine life like fish, eels, sting rays, coral, etc. read more

I've come to Scuba Club multiple times before and was excited to visit again this year for vacation, but amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and health experts, local government, and the state department telling all US citizens to not travel we had to cancel. I've relayed this information to the club owners hoping for a refund, but was told that: - there are no health issues in Cozumel - planes are landing - my only option is to rebook, but I would have to wait 30-45 days with a $100 penalty per person plus a 3% credit card service charge I understand company policies, but at a time when the world is managing how to spread this virus (not to mention our local and city governments recommending that we keep social distancing and not doing any non-essential travel at this time), it's appalling that Scuba Club is not being accommodating during this time. It's clear that Scuba Club does not have the interest of their staff and customer's health and safety as their top priority. read more

Just returned from my second stay at Scuba Club Cozumel as part of a group dive trip with my local dive shop. I see someone reviewed who was there during the same time I was and I have to say I had the opposite experience. For one, the staff (who are pretty much the same year after year) have been friendly and welcoming during both of my visits. After a couple days they remember your room number (which is how they track your drinks, meals, dives, etc) and are generally quite chummy and have good senses of humor if you talk to them a bit. The restaurant is on a schedule but it's quite accommodating - breakfast buffet from 7-9 (coffee starts at 6:30 I think?), lunch from noon-3, and dinner from 6-9. Breakfast has a line that lasts for about 10 minutes when they first open but otherwise lunch and dinner is a sit down type affair upstairs or downstairs/outside. We never had issues waiting and never missed meals before or after our dives with this supposedly "restricted" schedule. The meals themselves vary with some dishes being better than others, but overall I've been very satisfied with their food - oh, and no one in our group has ever gotten sick from them either. We have had dives canceled both years due to inclement weather, but our group leader was on top of keeping us informed from the dive crew - all he had to do was ask. And we had no issues making up the dives on Friday (usually our "free" no dive day before we leave on Saturday). The rooms themselves are pretty sparse - basically a room with your bed, mini fridge, and bathroom. Tile floors (obvs), no TV - which might sound odd but TBH we have never felt like we needed one. And a balcony/porch with a table and a couple chairs, plus a rod which you can hang your wet gear from. Maids come through everyday while you're out diving and clean everything, switch your sheets, and load you up with fresh towels. The dive masters and boat crews are great - I switched out weights from the shop without issue in the past, grabbing a tank for a night shore dive is as easy as signing one out and taking it down to your locker. Nitrox, show up at the shop at 7am so you can get your tank and have it's O2 analyzed and mark your name and boat, as they quite clearly explain to you during the orientation when you first arrive :). The crews on the boat are friendly and helpful, some speak better English than others. Our divemaster was Francisco who spoke very good English and was a wealth of knowledge about the reefs and the fish when we chatted with in between dives. So I would definitely highly recommend SCC! I'm not sure how you would go about setting it up if you go there solo since our dive shop handles that aspect. Going through your local dive shop is the way to go though, and you meet so many fun and interesting people in your group, along with the other guests at the hotel. Can't wait to go back! read more

This was my fifth stay at Scuba Club Cozumel and will be my last. The staff seemed more concerned with collecting their coupons and signatures than with providing a positive experience. I traveled here with my family which compounded the issues. In short until they start caring about providing customer service to individual customers (I am not a dive shop), I would avoid staying here individually. And especially if you are travelling with a family. read more

Of all the the hotels on the island I love scuba club the most. Small compared to other places but that's a good thing they take a,aging care of you as a diver they have everything that you need and more.

I have been using Scuba Club Cozumel exclusively on my annual Cozumel dive trips since 2001 on the recommendation of a diving friend who has been using SCC for over 30 years. SCC is an awesome "dive centric" hotel. The dive shop staff are always courteous & professional and their daily dives are always excellent. The food is incredible; it's 100% local cuisine. The hotel/restaurant staff are courteous & professional and like the dive shop, they strive to make your stay @ SCC exceptional. Additionally, all of the staff are long time employees of SCC. There is no seasonal help or staff transition. When you come back for repeat dive trips, the staff remember you. It's like vacationing with an incredible extended family. When you stay at SCC, it's not like just being at a hotel, you fee like you belong there. "Try it. You'll like it." read more

The divemasters are great. The dive shop manger is a rude jerk. Sophia, rooms and booking is a bit#h. Haughty, condescending, and not at helpful. The location is excellent, the food is good. But I won't go back. Too many better alternatives. read more

My experience at Scuba Club was so bad I changed my flight in order to leave after my first dive day, despite having paid in advance for a full week's stay. (They require that you pay in full in advance, and they refused to issue even a partial refund when I departed.) In all my years of diving, in which I've logged almost a thousand dives all over the world, I'd never done that before. The bed was miserable, but that's not why I left early. The food was mediocre at best, but that's not why I left. I left because my scuba cylinder smelled and tasted like diesel exhaust. This smell is, of course, the only way one can detect potentially deadly carbon monoxide in one's cylinder (unless you've purchased a CO2 detector). After I noted the problem with my cylinder, I smelled the air from several other cylinders. They all smelled unpleasant, although none of the others seemed as bad as the one I'd had the misfortune to receive. This is the first and only time I've ever thought the air in a scuba cylinder seemed bad. The smell and taste were strong enough that I have no doubt that the air was contaminated. I'll try diving in Cozumel again, but it certainly won't be at Scuba Club. read more

Help is fantastic. Beds and pillows are hard as a rock. Free unlimited shore dives however there is no reef and nothing but sand and trash for their shore dive. (I would recommend they build reefs platforms etc) Food is ok, some fantastic other meals just edible. Nitrox was $15USD per tank. Unless you want to be close to town I recommend other locations. read more

Just got back from 5 days in SCUBA diving paradise with my son. SCC is built by divers, for divers. The rooms are not luxurious, but are well appointed (plenty of towels, mini-fridge, safe, space for your dive gear.) The food is very good. Recommend the all-inclusive with dinner (most probably won't want to leave the grounds after a long day diving. We didn't.) We did 2 boat dives in the morning, then lunch, then had our choice of unlimited shore diving and/or another boat dive before dinner. DO THE WRECK DIVE! It's awesome! As far as travel, I'm told that American Airlines has the best schedules. We flew Delta/Aeromexico - but wouldn't recommend the red-eye + 7 hour stay in Mexico City. Also customs in MC is a nightmare (+2 hours). Do customs in Cozumel. Bring plenty of t-shirts, shorts and casual wear. And be prepared to be around - and share a lot of stories with - divers of all kinds and skill levels. You will not be disappointed. We WILL do it again. read more

We dove with Scuba Club over Thanksgiving week but did not stay at the resort. We have several people who like diving with them. The only reason I am giving them two stars is for Dive Master Geiser aka Peaches (unfortunately on had him for two dives), Enrique (deck hand), and the boat's driver on the Corral Diver. If you are not staying at Scuba Club, I recommend diving with someone else. The day we arrived in Cozumel, we went to Scuba Club to do our paperwork. The next day, they informed us we needed our credit card. This would have been nice to know before hand because we were staying 3 blocks away. We had to run (literally) back to our place and run back to catch the boat. We asked if we could pay after but they said "NO". Because we did not stay with them, we had to bring our credit card everyday. Then we got done diving that day, we wanted to put our stuff in a locker but, we needed a lock and we did not have one on us. So, I went across the street to their dive shop and they wanted $20.00. That was crazy. So, we lugged all our stuff back to our hotel. They also said we would be on the same boat while we were diving but, that was not true. Our first boat was one of their cattle boats and our next four dives was on the Corral Diver. On the fifth day they tried to put us on the cattle boat again. We got mad and said we wanted to dive the Corral Diver, we go lucky and was able to get on that boat. The only reason we stayed with Scuba Club twas the people on the boat. Would I dive with them again, probably not. read more

This resort is not group leader friendly! When I toured the resort a year ago I was told if I booked 10 divers in my group, then my spot would be free. This is the way most resorts work when it comes to groups and their leaders. After I put the group trip together and had numerous people sign up for it, I was told that my spot was only free based on double occupancy. I never would have booked the resort for my group had I known I would have to pay for my accommodations. And by the time I was told this it was too late for me to cancel the trip, as I had already had people committed to going on my trip. I lead group trips all the time, and NEVER have I been charged. I bring others to resorts, and for this resort to charge me is a total RIP OFF. read more

I am sitting in my room on the last night of my stay here at Scuba Club Cozumel and I wish I had better things to say about this place. I honestly do not understand how this place is so highly rated because 1) the staff are rude, 2) the food varies from decent to mediocre, 3) the dining schedule is very restricted, and 4) when they cancel dive outings, they don't bother to let you know. The only saving graces of this place are the boat crews and dive masters, who were superb, and a couple of wait staff who were on their game. Hence, 2 stars instead of 1. We booked this trip through our local dive shop. It was a great deal, and we were really excited about our dive vacation. But, despite the fact that our local dive shop had been planning trips to this place for years, you wouldn't know it by how the "resort" treated us. To begin, our flight was delayed, so we arrived about 10 minutes after the dive shop at Scuba Club closed. Did they stay open a little later to accommodate the eleven people arriving at their door? Of course not. So, we had to get up two hours before our first morning dive to beat the rush to sign up with the dive shop, get all our gear and weights in order, etc. Then, to top it off, all the dive shop staff seemed annoyed that we were bothering them with our questions. What's up with that? And the expected friendly greetings? Not once. Furthermore, I wish I could say that it was just an aberration; that it was just me. But, many of our fellow guests voiced similar dissatisfaction over the same things. Now, let's talk about the meals. They have set breakfast, lunch, and dinner times, "with coffee available all day." If you happen to be lounging at the pool, forget about them asking you if you want a beverage. Despite the fact that the restaurant is staffed all day, they will only begrudgingly get you a drink if you can hunt someone down. Now, the problem with their restaurant is that it's not big enough to accommodate all the guests at once, so a huge line forms because everyone is headed out and coming back from dives within a few minutes of each other. So, despite the fact that we paid for all our meals at this place, we ate literally half our meals in town because we didn't feel like waiting around to eat so-so food. Then, there's the cancelled dive trips: terrible wind, can't be helped. I get that. But come on, they can't send their folks out to the rooms to let people know? They can't slide a note under the door? They can't post something somewhere. Then, when you ask what's up with the dive plans, they look at you like you're the biggest jerk for even asking. Need extra weights? How dare you take them away from their paperwork to look for more weights! And, did they ever offer to make up the dives by taking us out on an afternoon boat? Nope. So, that bad weather netted Scuba Club Cozumel a nice chunk of change, what with all the money they saved by not having to pay their boat crews, dive masters, or to fuel their boats. I have always found Mexican service to be top notch, and that is what I expect. More so, considering that I am fluent in Spanish, which always gets me friendly service. That was not to be found here. From the front desk to the restaurant to the dive shop, the friendly customer service I was expecting was severely lacking at this establishment. I guess they figure that their low prices justify shoddy service. Now, to the last straw: I am in my room in bed at about 9:45 p.m. when a staff member tells me I am being, literally, summoned to the front desk. Why, I asked him. He has no idea. So, annoyed, I put some clothes, went down to the front desk, and asked why they called for me. They responded with, "We wanted you to settle your bill, since you're leaving early tomorrow." Mind you, they were going to be open tomorrow morning before I left. They told me as I walk away, "You can drop off your keys here tomorrow." Then, why the *!%# couldn't I pay my bill tomorrow morning before I left? So, bottom line: this place is awful. If you are planning your dive trip to Cozumel, stay somewhere else. You have plenty of choices, and from what I've experienced, paying a bit extra is worth it. I will not be back here, that is certain. read more

They are extremely well set up for diving. You get up in the morning, they feed you breakfast, take you out on the boat for two dives, bring you back, and feed you a great lunch. You can check out tanks and dive from the resort for an afternoon or night dive. Breakfast and lunch is included and for a very reasonable additional amount you can include dinners too. The food is very good! I cannot account for Shawn F's review that says he got food poisoning there. Perhaps he drank the tap water. There is bottled water readily available 24/7. The place is very laid back and peaceful. A grocery store is a short walk and town is just a bit further. You can get pesos at the grocery store ATM. There is a gift shop close by, just to the North. Be sure and carry some pesos in case you come across Maya kids who will sing a traditional song for you. The entire staff at Scuba Club was warm, friendly, and helpful. So were all of the people we met in town. The reefs of Cozumel must be some of the most beautiful places in the world. I did 10 dives in 5 days and they were all spectacular. The visibility often exceeded 100 feet and I think I saw examples of nearly every sea creature there is except for whales, dolphins, and a couple of others. There is easy access from the resort for decent snorkeling. We didn't get to town much so next time I'll simply have to schedule fewer dives, as tough as that will be. Scuba Club can provide you with whatever dive gear you didn't manage to fit into your luggage. There is also a dive shop right across the street if you want to buy some gear, a t-shirt, a sun dress, etc. I can't imagine a better setup for divers. Oh, and the room was nice too! There is no TV but if I recall the WiFi was good enough to get NetFlix on my laptop. We were there in December and the weather was absolutely perfect. Many of the guests we met there have been going there for years. read more
