When the cruises are here, Cozumel is awake
Cruise ship
It rained the whole night and it's drizzling as we cross the road to our dive shop. We meet the same group as yesterday and after chatting further, they are leaving Cozumel at about the same time as us. We should have them with us the entire time, they are excellent divers and we enjoy their company, this is great.
The sky clears as we sail to our first dive site and the rest of the morning is a beautiful blue sky. Underwater it is, again, these perfect aquarium conditions.
The first dive site are pinnacles on white sands. And there is a lot of swim through. A beautiful landscape with hardly any currents at all. We see the huge lobsters around, same as yesterday. A few turtles and some stingrays on the sand.
On the second dive, which is a very shallow reef, we see more critters. Some catfish hidden in their holes, a mantis, nudibranch and a cute tiny moray eel. Our guide shows us some tiny blenny and Alexis spots just the smallest box fish we have ever seen, very cute.
A great and easy morning of diving. We have new cruise ships today; 3 huge boats and we even see a horse carriage going on the street. It's really night and day on the island when these boats are here.
The rest of the day is spent balancing on the hammock and cooking our meals at the hotel. We relax and take our time. There are a few showers today but nothing as bad as yesterday.
