Cozumel Trip - Sept 2005

Photo by: Monty Chandler

Cozumel Mexico is a very special place for me. I had a chance to make another visit the week after Labor Day. Our stay at the Suites Bahia was once again a great experience and our diving with Aldora Divers was its usual excellence.

We were a little concerned with the effects of hurricane Emily. We were told that Cozumel had recovered from the storm but we're a little skeptical. However, our fears were unfounded as Cozumel had indeed cleaned up and had recovered. Not only was San Miguel its normal charming self, but the reefs had not been affected that much either.

The southern end of the reefs did have a little sand on them from the churning of the ocean during the storm, but nature will take care of herself. The diving was wonderful as usual. It's what we have come to expect of Cozumel diving.

I took a little extra time on this trip - some very long afternoon walks - to take photos of Cozumel in an attempt to capture a bit of its charm. I hope you enjoy the photos via the link at the bottom. This trip we went over to the mainland and took a bus down to Tulum to see the Mayan ruins. What a treat. When I get those photos up, I'll post another Blog entry with a link to those photos as well.
