Scuba Club Cozumel
After teaching my dad to dive, the two of us went to SCUBA Club Cozumel (SCC) for an extended weekend. This was over two years ago and we both still talk about the trip...A LOT! Sure, the dives were gorgeous, but it was the friendly staff, laid back atmosphere, and delicious food that made the trip so memorable.
The great thing about SCC is that it is a true DIVE resort. SCC is close enough (2 miles or less, we walked) to shopping and partying if that is what you're looking for, but far enough removed to create a calm and relaxing environment. They have unlimited shore diving and their own small pier where you meet the boats daily. When diving, they divide the groups up by experience and skill level, so that everybody in the group is relatively similar in their capabilities, plus you end up going out on the boat with the same people day after day and really get to know some fellow divers.
The staff was extremely helpful and accommodating! They helped look after my dad (whose has little dive experience), and when I lost my camera housing to the sea, Geiser spent the remainder of the dive helping me search for it. I was dying to see seahorses, and when I expressed this to my DM he ensured that I saw some :) They offer many options for night and wreck diving for more skilled divers, and at a good price.
The food was killer and the margaritas were cheap. They have a nice row of hammocks and many places to sit and enjoy the view. The room itself was nothing to write home about, but also have no complaints. I wasn't there to sit in a room.
I have since been back for a shore dive, and have recommended SCC to many friends...all of which who were al thrilled as we were. I'd go back time and time again,
