Cozumel or Cabo

[cruisin 07]

I'm planning a trip for 1 wk to 10 days for some diving. Which designation would you choose. Looking for great dives, into photos, cost of diving is a major factor. Trip will take place between Apr amd June of next yr.

Having been to both, this is pretty much a no brainer.

 

COZUMEL..................................... no comparison on the diving and less expensive to boot.

Don't waste your time & money diving in Cabo. Cozumel is still one of the greatest dive locations in the world- absolutely beautiful, crystal-clear, calm, relaxing drift-diving. The people who live & work on Cozumel are hard working & friendly & your money goes a long way. Cabo is good for partying, not diving.

You can not possibly compare the two places when it comes to diving. Cozumel is the easy first choice.

Thanks everyone. Cozumel is it.

I agree with Cozumel being far superior. The only exception is if you are a very advanced diver and wanted to go out to Gordo Banks to dive with schooling hammerhead sharks - in that case Cabo.

Cozumel has amazing dives. There were 130+ dive ops there, and most of them are good. That should tell you something.

 

Cabo has far few dive sites, and most of them are quite nearby. One thing I didn't like was the amount of traffic, so many snorkel boats, or water taxis taking people to/from beaches there from the main port area. Very easy for accidents to happen.

 

Coz consistently ranks among the top dive spots in the world. Cabo, well... it's decent warm water diving. At least far better than cold water diving near Toronto (I don't dive near home here)
