We flew into Cancun airport, took a one hour shuttle to Playa Del Carmen and then took a 30min ferry to Cozumel. It was about $200 cheaper doing that than to fly directly into Cozumel, it also saved us time for traveling because of the layover time for connecting flights.
Cozumel has always been that one place that never disappoints you when you need a quick and easy dive trip. We did a four-day dive trip with Blue Project and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Blanca was able to point out everything we wanted to see on all the dives. Although the marine lives are lacking in numbers, it still offers some amazing coral structures and some species you cannot see anywhere else, which as the toadfish. Perhaps the most impressive was the drift dives!!! Having the current carry you while you can cover the more area helps to conserve air and energy which will increase your diving time.
It doesn’t hurt that Cozumel got some nice restaurants you can dine and hang out with other divers and locals. Some of our favorite restaurants are El Mora, Kondesa, and Guido. El Mora is where most locals go for some good and affordable eats off the main strip. Kondesa is a little off the strip that offers a fusion and modern take on Mexican food. Guido is more of an Italian restaurant, the flavor is very rich and you can taste that there is a little of Mexican influence.
Overall, our visits to Cozumel is always completed with good food, people, and dives.
