April 2003 Hadn't been diving for 3 years. Dive was nice, despite DI constantly popping up and taking photos. Saw a couple of sharks in the distance (don't know what type).

December 1997 Good diving in this area. Great set up with boats. Good place to see Dolphins.

July 2005 Diving in Cancun was difficult due to the rough seas. A trip down to Cozumel is worth it.

December 1997 Diving in the Cenotes ( Caverns ) has to be one of the most memorable dives I have ever done. Viz in excess of 230m !!! Superb, recommend it to anyone.
