The catamaran’s crew was simply awesome. Not only were they professionally manning the boat at all times while giving us a great tour of the Cozumel coast, but if one of the guys walked by and noticed that your beer was half empty…a fresh replacement would be in your hand in under 120 seconds flat. They really made us feel like rock stars.

The snorkeling was pretty good, too. We saw green ones, and blue ones, and purple ones, and yellow ones, and striped ones, and orange ones. Of course, my underwater disposable camera shot out of my pocket like a missile and floated ashore lickity-split after I dove in so I can’t prove how really cool it was. You’ll just have to take my word for it.

Shopping along the strip in Cozumel was okay…a little boring and a bit too commercialized for my tastes. But if safe and mediocre is your thing, then Cozumel is a very nice place to spend a little quality shopping time. It was a bit too much like an American city for me.
