| Comments: | Thankyou for a great time! This was the best dive experience that my husband and I have had so far in our life together! The crew were professional, friendly, knowledgable and all-around great on our trip, not to mention the terrific staff at the hotel! The Palancar Reef is an incredible site to behold and we should all feel lucky to be able to see and experience such a beautiful place on earth with incredible hosts from the area. Feliz Navidad!

| Comments: | I recently stayed at the Hotel Allegro Cozamel and my wife and I went both Deep Sea Fishing and Flats fishing. As an avid fisherman here in Texas I really enjoyed both days of fishing. The staff was great and the Guides we very good. What I appreciated most was their way of allowing my wife to enjoy the fishing trips. Our guides were very friendly and put her on some fish which I was hoping they would do. I would like to say Thank You again and can\'t wait to come back!!!!

| Comments: | I really enjoy diving with this dive operator. My family and I have been diving with you for the past 7 years and are not interested in diving with any other. Our favorite dive master is Jorge. He makes us all feel comfortable diving. If you are looking for a dive master that takes his time so that you can see all the sites of the reef he is the one to ask for.

Izmael, Ricardo, Edgar, Gustavo, can't wait to see you guys again too!
The Shashma Divers have been to Cozumel many times, and we always dive with Dive Palancar! You guys are the best! In February, the diving was spectacular! Spotted Eagle rays on almost every dive, Nurse Sharks, a Mako shark, Lots of octopus, sea turtles, eels, rays...where did the seahorses go? August will be different, but it will be just as much fun, I'm sure. Thanks for taking such good care of us!!

| Comments: | A massive Thank You to Clemente (with his four wives and 25 children...) who did our peak buoyancy course, and Juan who took us for our first twilight and night dive, at Dive Palancar, Grand Occidental. We had the most fantastic time - apart from the abundance of beautiful fish and coral, we say rays, and swam alongside a turtle - how cool is that? - the dive team were very friendly, helpful and professional and the diving dvd was an amazing souvenir - we relive the experience whenever we watch it. The resort was great, nice rooms, big clean bathrooms with walk in showers, food ok but they stop serving at 9.30pm (not good if you've just returned, starving, from a night dive !) Wonderful visit, and we hope to return for more fantastic diving. | | First Name: | Debbie | Last Name: | Vaughan | Added: | Friday.July.2.2004 | City, State, Country: | Gibraltar, Europe.

| Comments: | Just completed our vacation in Cozumel. My son and I cannot say enough positive things about Dive Palancar, especially Dive Masters Ricardo and George and UW videographer Yuri. The Santa Rosa Wall dive was our innaugural dive and will be a life long memory. Georges' secret shallow drift dive was our last and by far the best dive of the trip. The ship wreck dive was an exhillerating dive. I would strongly recommend the use of this dive shop, they are very professional and attentive to everyones needs. | | First Name: | Mike | Last Name: | Beeghly | Added: | Sunday.June.20.2004 | City, State, Country: | Coppell, Tx USA

| Comments: | So this is what I have been missing all these years. The diving experience with Palancar and stay at the Grand Cozumel Occidental counts as one of my favorite vacations. Good food, good accommodations and great diving.
6 dives in 3 days and all were enjoyable. Here is my ranking, in order from spectacular to good.
Punta Sur: The Devil's Throat, Palancar Gardens, Columbia, Paso del Cedral, Dalila, and Chankanaab Park (with family not Dive Palancar).
Thanks to master diver Ricardo for his leadership and recommendation of the Devil's Throat, a truly awesome dive.

| Comments: | My husband and I had a fantastic time with Dive Palancar when staying at the Grand Occidental. The resort was amazing and the diving was incredible! Our dive master was Raul and he was the most technically skilled diver we've ever had the pleasure of diving with. If you ever want to dive with a pro, dive with Raul! He inspires you to become a better diver. Never have we seen someone dive to 100 feet with no weight, maitain perfect buoyancy without sculling, and all of this is done while being in a current! Thank you Raul for showing us so many new dive sites in Cozumel. We owe our vacation to you, the Grand Occidental and Dive Palancar for making it so memorable. I highly recommend anyone going to do a cave dive, night dive, wrek dive, and definately ask for Raul.

| Comments: | We just returned early this morning, and we are missing diving terribly. We only had the intention of doing 4 dives to finish our Open Water Certification, but because our Dive Master RAUL was so amazing, we ended up diving all week, and obtained our advanced certification. Because of Dive Palancar and RAUL'S amazing leadership and help, we had the best vacation ever. And that's including the fact that Air Canada lost our luggage. Thanks to RAUL, and everyone at Dive Palancar, we have a new addiction to SCUBA diving. We will be back to the Grand Occidental very soon. The staff there made what could've been a very bad vacation (lost dive equipment in luggage), a great experience. | | First Name: | Christienne | Last Name: | McAllister | Added: | Sunday.April.11.2004 | City, State, Country: | Toronto, Ontario, Canada

| Comments: | I want to share a little story with you. When I was a teenager I had an accident - almost drown… Since that I had this big and scare fear of getting my nose under the water. I could swim with no problem as long my face is on the surface. So, me and my friend went on vacation from cold Boston to Cozumel and staid
At Grand Occidential Cozumel. She wanted to get certified and I was thinking why not me…let me tell yah... I was scared of everything and myself, but wanted to try… than we went to the Dive shop to sigh up for classes and meet our instructor ADRIAN MEDINA CARCAMO. Guys, you cannot imaging how scared I was... our group of four people decided to take our first lesson in the sea by the beach (instead of a pool), so we got all our equipment went in the sea, put our fins on and needed to swim little bit further from the beach where the depth would be enough to go under the water. All three members of my group followed the instructor and I could not make even one step. I was shaking and did not know what to expect. Well, Adrian had to come back..:-) talk to me and make sure that
I would trust him that nothing scary is going to happen and that he is next to me with 20 years of teaching experience. That helped a lot!
Thru our practice he was watching everyone very carefully,corrected our mistakes and explained why we need to do his way and not our way. It is important to have very knowledgeable instructor. After all that practice we went diving on 40 feet. It was amazing! Specially for me, because I was the most difficult student and I made sure I was next to him all the time (I was still scared), but after couple more dives I was getting comfortable under the water and I new that he wont let anything happened to me or any other student. So, if you have a little or big fear like me I would highly recommend to take your certification with him.
Adrian very experienced, knowledgeable and very patient instructor!
We met a lot of nice people there. Raul - diving instructor and Nicky he held us to find a right equipment and wetsuits.
Grand Occidential should be proud of have such a wonderful people working for them!
If you like more details feel free to write me back. Now I am certified diver and very proud of that. | | First Name: | Svetlana | Last Name: | Ivashova | Added: | Friday.February.20.2004 | City, State, Country: | Boston, MA USA

We unfortuantely were unable to arrange this before we left. Can we sort this out now?
Let us know.
Thank you,
Ginny Truyens

| Comments: | We are looking for info regarding the possibility of doing 2 tank dive trips. It appears that you do multiple 1 tank trips during the day.
This means I would have to do 2 1 tank trips to get 2 dives a day in. I would prefer to do 1 2 tank trip.
Is this possible??
We are still deciding if this will be our destination. | | First Name: | Bruce | Last Name: | LePage | Added: | Friday.January.16.2004 | City, State, Country: | Groveland,Ma,USA

| Comments: | We had a great diving experience at the Occidental Grand in Cozumel. Adrian is an excellent teacher. We took a refresher course with him and felt very comfortable in the water after six years away from diving. He's the best. Please have him write me. Thanks!
