Visibility looked really good. How does it compare with Cozumel?
As a fellow scuba diver, clarity all depends on weather conditions. Did it rain recently? Was there a lot of wind or swell? Cozumel is unique as it often is a drift dive, water moves very fast.
I fully understand, having been a Certified Diver since 1969. I currently hold an Advanced Open Water Cert with PADI, and several years ago went on four cruises in one year, diving at each port. Four of the Dives were in Cozumel with Sand Dollar Sports, all two tank drift dives.
Others include Jamaica (so-so water conditions), Grand Cayman (Wall dive), St. John, St. Croix, St. Thomas, Puerto Rico, etc. Unfortunately, the ONLY dive I missed was in SXM. It was scheduled for 1:00 pm, and when I showed up on shore, I was the only one there to meet the tour operator. Seven others signed up and paid (on board), but they were no shows. The tour operator cancelled the Dive, and SXM is the only place I haven't had a chance to dive. SO, I was wondering how the visiblity compared to Cozumel.
