Cozumel vs Cancun

Rocky 26 April 2005 06:40:23
 
Howdy, all. A newbie to this group, but not to suckin' air in the
great blue deep. I've been reading lately a lot about Cozumel, that's
the island and Cancun is the resort, is that correct?

From what I've been recently been reading here, I'm thinking about
taking a two week diving trip to Cancun (unfortunately not with a
female). Wouldst anyone have any recommended eating, drinking or diving
holes in Cancun?

Thank you all for any information you can provide.

Cheers.

Just curious . . if you aren't new to "suckin' air in the great blue deep"
and have been doing some of your reading here, why are you looking at a two
week diving trip to Cancun, instead of Cozumel?

take a bus/taxi to Playa Del Carmen go to Cozumel. Take a plane to Cozumel.

Dive at Cozumel. The diving is a worlds' difference and more diverse at
Cozumel - you will not be disappointed! Find an operator that runs
small fast boats. I can recommend Blue Bubbles. Others here have their
preferences, most are good - just try to steer away from the cattle
boats. Don't ask about Aldora - they suck - right, Greg?

Many here have referred Dive with Martin.

Eating - favorites are La Mission, Pepe's (expensive by Mexican
standards), and Primo's. In Cozumel you can be safe venturing back into
the town of San Miquel and finding a local eatery.

Cancun is about 40 miles north of Cozumel, across the channel on the
Yucatan peninsula, and different from Cozumel as night from day. Cancun
is where you go in Mexico if you don't really want to go to Mexico.
It's like Miami Beach, with a pervasive "party til you puke" mentality,
and the diving is mediocre by comparison.

Forget Cancun. Go to Cozumel.

I concur. While San Miguel is degenerating, it's
nowhere near as bad as Cancun. The diving off
Cozumel is infinitely superior to that near
Cancun.

If you are going to day trip, consider a dive shop that has 10 am
departures. Two such shops are Seafaris and Caballito des Caribes
(http://www.seahors­ecozumel.com/). I have dove with both, and enjoyed
doing so.

From what my travel agent told me, there's ONLY diving in Cozumel, i.e.
no nightlife, etc. I was thinking of diving, say, three out of four
days, and checking out the nightlife the fourth day/night.

Or is my travel agent out to lunch? (I hope not, she's CUTE).

Wow. I had no idea. I still appreciate any additional info, but
for what's come down, I thank you people very much.

When I return, I guess I should report on the latest news, shops, etc.
just to keep everyone up-to-date.

Again, thanks and cheers.

She may be cute, but she's out to lunch . . way out.

I look forward to your trip report and your agent should too. Obviously,
she's never been to Coz.

 There's plenty of bars and loud music in Cozumel if you want it.
There's also walking around the town square after dark with local
families on Sunday night. Lots of great restaurants too.

But unlike Cancun, in Coz one is expected to keep their pants on.
Unless one is attending the Caribbean Queen or Casa Verde (Green House).
In which case, get your shots.

We're not shoppers, Rocky, we're divers. We don't care about the
shopping venues. That's why we don't go to Cancun.

Don't pay attention to these Coz fanatics. Granted the diving in Coz is
better but the diving in Cancun is nothing to scoff at. I recommend Solo
Buceo in the Camino Real hotel. Great operator and they launch right off the
Caribbean side and so a much shorter trip to the dive sites, unlike others
who start from the lagoon side and have a greater distance to negotiate.

The diving in Cancun is nothing to scoff at if you've otherwise dove nothing
but quarries and ice-cold murky oceans. But when there's "world class"
diving just around the corner, why settle for it? For getting wet once
during a week-long golf or drinking binge, fine. But for a real dive trip,
there's absolutely no reason to choose Cancun.

Where have you been, Greg? I was asking the Dysfunctional Gang in> rec.scuba about you. :-)­

DC last weekend, trying to convince Bush to lower the retirement age to 38.
No diving there, but pretty cherry trees.

I was hoping to get to Coz this spring, but it looks like I may end up
having to dive locally until July 1 and Cocos.

When compared to "quarries and ice-cold murky oceans" then the diving in
Cancun becomes "world class" and much more than "nothing to scoff at". Your
bonehead post belies the fact that the original poster wanted some good
nightlife and that's where Cancun shines. Coz's nightline is "nothing to
scoof at" if all you've visited are dumps and bars-by-the-railroa­d-tracks
type of thing. Everything is indeed relative. Next time, try to use a little
bit of that brain matter and read between the lines regarding what the
poster is looking for. That way we don't have to read any of these
"bonehead" posts that are just wasting bandwith. So Coz has much better
diving than Cancun. Gee! What a revelation! Did you come up with that all by
yourself?

The nightlife in Cancun is "infinitely superior" to that in Cozumel.

Moron,

Originally, he asked about a "diving trip", mentioning nothing about
nightlife. Later, he said:

1 out of 4 days for nightlife is a pretty poor reason to waste otherwise
good dive opportunities in Cancun. Clearly his preference leans toward
diving, so it would be more logical to land in a place with great diving and
OK nightlife versus lousy diving and louder nightlife. Obviously the
bonehead be you.

Ladies and Germs: I apologize profusely for starting this gabfight, it
was the last thing I intended. Yup, I'm there primarily for diving, but
I figure it might be a nice break every few days to hit the nightlife.
I might hit a couple of loud places one night, but heck, if there's some
sort of pub nearby, that's probably where I'll be a bit more often. I
still would like to thank everyone for their input and opinions... I've
been saving the hotspots and dive shops in a text file to take with me.
I know everyone has their opinions and no one is wrong per se, so I'll
try and check out ALL the places mentioned by everyone.
Thanks again and cheers to yez all, eh.

Not to worry. If you hadn't started it, we would have started it on our
own.

The bottom line is, the diving is better in Cozumel than in Cancun.
Depending on what you're looking for, the night life is probably better in
Cancun, but both locations have their attractions. Why not try both? It's
not like there's no transportation between them.

Leeeh.

Actually the reason for my "bonehead" reference is when you claimed that
diving in Cancun is nothing "to scoff at" only when compared to "quarries
and ice-cold murky oceans". Based on that statement alone, I can only
conclude that you have very little experience with diving in Cancun and so
to make a statement like that is truly a "bonehead" statement. I have had a
timeshare in Cancun for over 10 years and have done many dives in the area
and though Coz is the "world class" dive destination that we all know,
Cancun has some very good diving.

So, just for saying something about diving in Cancun about which you
obviously know little or next to nothing about, I can only conclude that the
MORON BE YOU, sir. Next time, please make sure you know something about a
subject before you start typing your post. The reference to "quarries and
ice-cold murky oceans" may sound nice but it's still a BONEHEAD statement.

That you have a timeshare in Cancun and think that Cancun has some very good
diving says worlds about you. You, sir, are no diver.

I don't have much experience diving in Cancun because the diving sucks
there. I only dove there just to see for myself that it really sucks as bad
as everyone says it does, and suck it does. Why waste any more of my
precious time doing many dives in the area when I can dive elsewhere where
it doesn't suck?

Frankly, I found Cozumel on a par with other areas where the diving sucks:
Fajardo (PR), Los Cabos (BCS), Ft. Lauderdale (FL). Even the diving off
Ambergris Caye blew it away and I thought that sucked.

Obviously "suck" is subjective. What sucks to one man may be a boon to a
bonehead.

'Sucks' compared to what? I'm curious to find out what 'fantastic' diving
locations you are comparing the above list of locales with to conclude they
'suck'. I have not dived in any location in Florida, Gulf of Mexico,
Carribiean, Central/South America, etc. so I have no point of reference for
comparison except SE Asia, Red Sea, and Puget Sound.

I think you meant to type in Cancun, instead of Coz.

As chilly pointed out, I meant to say Cancun, not Cozumel, in the
above-quoted paragraph.

Sucks, as compared to Cozumel. Or Bonaire. Or Grand Cayman. Or even
Boynton.

Definitely sucks as compared to La Paz, Hawaii, the Galapagos, or anywhere
I've dove in SE Asia, French Polynesia, or Micronesia.

It's probably better than Puget Sound, though.

 Don't waste your time-stay on Cozumel and dive there, unless you're more
interested in partying than diving (although there are many good party sites
in Coz).

 For the $$ Cozumel is a good deal and very adequate diving in my book. I
know you Canucks like to do the 14 day thing but I have to say of you could
just break it up and do 8 days then you'll be a lot happier. In my
experience there really isn't much diving to do for 2 weeks worth of 2 dives
per day. I do recommend though getting some cenote dives in if you aren't
too claustrophobic. You should take in the ruins as well.

My two week vacations usually involve long arduous journeys of some
sort. In other other words, if I can't make it there in one day, it's
a two week trip.

How I break up those two weeks depends on where I am going. When I
went to the Sea of Cortez, I "overnighted for a 5 days" in Arizona.
When I went to Fiji, we spent a few days at a resort and then spent a
week on a liveaboard.

An idea we are tossing around next year is to go to Hawaii, spend a
few days sightseeing, and then going on the Aggressor.

Ten day liveaboard cruises, like they have in Cocos and the Galapagos
also turn into 2 week trips.

Like Christine, I am very unlikely to take a two week trip and make a
couple of dives each day.

Your travel agent, however cute is either out to lunch or not up to
date. Cozumel over Cancun any day! Divers know how to party...

Carlos n Charlies
Hard Rock Cafe (2)
Mezcalitos

The other ones that come to mind sem to have been over run by the new
mall, but there's no shortage of nightlife in Cozumel.
Tell Cesar at Caribbean Divers that I sent you there. They are great.
I have dived with them since 1993!
