Total is 1746.28 as of 7/15/8 Jim Larson
The best diving for the dollar (pesos remember) in this galactic region. (Diving in the Cal Diving pool is still the overall best diving for the dollar) Cozumel is THE Mecca for SCUBA. If you have not been there at least 5 times you should hang your head and feel shame -- then talk to your boss and get time off to revitalize yourself to be more productive at work and also have a more consistent tan all over. Well, (almost all over), we have not joined the European Union yet.

Airfare
7 NIGHTS, 8 DAYS LODGING /double occupancy/

We will be leaving from Oakland Airport Sunday night the 12th, Red eye is usually 12:30ish Mon A.M., arriving Cozumel late Monday morning. The group will return on Monday the 20th. COZUMEL is located 7 miles off the tip of the Yucatan peninsula across from Cancun on the mainland. Water temperature is approximately 83 degrees and air ranges from 80 - 85 degrees for this time of year. Water Visibility on the average is 150 feet, but can exceed 200.
Scuba Club Cozumel looks like a Spanish hacienda rather than a resort. It's hard to believe there are more than 50 rooms, a spacious courtyard, bar, pool, dive store, and 6 dive boats.
The week starts with a thorough orientation and warm up dive just off the beach. Divemasters are helpful while entering the water and two guides join the group in the water to show you the best parts on the dives. Drift diving is easy once you have the basics. We will be doing a shore orientation off the resort on the first day of your trip. As one the most popular diving destinations in the world, Cozumel boasts crystal clear water, massive coral formations, plenty of large grouper, millions of fishes, and dramatic drop-offs. The boats leave after breakfast around 8:30 in the morning and return around 1:00 just in time for lunch. In the afternoon you can go into town, relax in the hammocks, swim in the pool, or take another shore dive right off the resort. The resort is a short 15-minute walk from town if interested in shopping, sightseeing, hanging out om strett corners making trouble, or the night life.
(Rental of regulator with a computer console, and buoyancy compensator is $150.00 for the week - FROM US! The rental gear there is the same price, but not quite as "good"??
Researve your vacation EARLY- Our trips fill quickly and aifare will likely increase the price by May, by $200 or more! Expect 12 to 25 other Bay Area vacation buddies. Mostly singles, but couples are cool too. No! Really!
