Review of Cozumel’s two-tank boat trip from Playa del Carmen, with Palancar and Columbia reefs, costs, timing, gear, and practical tips.

“Did several dives and saw a wide variety of divers - wheelchair bound, elderly, young, newly certified (me) and seasoned veterans. All got the individual attention tailored to them. Professional and dedicated to customer service. The guides had strong knowledge of the area, maximized time down, and didn't waste any time. They were well-staffed with competent, multi-lingual, hard-working guys. I feel like I really got my monies worth.”
