| Comments: | When I heard about Wilma's eye parking itself east of Cozumel, I had a feeling that you most likely had damage at the Allegro.
I started diving as a resort diver at the Diamond, as it was called then in January 1994. The young lady who helped me at the pool was someone a lot of people know on the island...Allison Dennis.
I would like to hear from you in terms of the damage that you incurred as well as when you will get back to normal.
It would also be helpful if I knew something about my favorite place at the Allegro...the juice bar, pool and buffet, etc. Is there much left of the beach?
Say hello to Gustavo and Carlos for us...friends for many years. I know Carlos always remembers me, because our first year at Dive Palancar was his son's first year (of life).
Regards to all,

| Comments: | Had a wonderful time with Dive Palancar. Dives were diverse and the leaders were very professional and friendly. I will surely dive with these folks again when I'm in Cozumel. I hope to see you all in April!
These folks were hit hard by Hurricane Wilma, the devistation is overwhelming. Please donate to the hurricane relief fund. | | First Name: | Michael | Last Name: | Gersh | Added: | Monday.October.31.2005 | City, State, Country: | Phoenix, Arizona

| Comments: | Just returned Sunday from 10 days in Cozumel and Cancun. My brother, my son and I took our very first scuba dive in the pool with Adrian. Later that day, we took our first beach dive with Adrian right off the dock. The next morning- we explored 3 reefs off a boat dive! We had a BLAST! Kudos to Adrian! Thanks for a great time!

| Comments: | We stayed at the Allegro June 17-24th. Our family went on the 3 reef snorkeltrip. In spite of the stormy weather, it was the best we have ever experienced.

| Comments: | We have just returned from the Grand Cozumel where we spent the week diving with you; we had a FANTASTIC time aboard the Dive Express with Jose, Francisco, and our divemaster Jorge! The diving was much better than I remembered from my last visit about 9 years ago. We saw turtles on almost every dive; Scorpion and Toad fish too. And, I saw my favorite reef creature: the Carribean reef OCTOPUS -- DURING the DAY!!!
Thanks for a great week of diving, it was just incredible. | | First Name: | Annie | Last Name: | Mullen | Added: | Monday.April.11.2005 | City, State, Country: | Nashua, NH

| Comments: | We have been to the Occidental Grand Cozumel twice and to the Allegro Cozumel 3 times. Every trip has been outstanding. The scuba diving is excellent, the dive shops are right on the resort property and the dive sites are only a few minutes off shore. The dive guides are top rated. If you go have a video made of your dive they are great. We also deep sea fish there and have had outstanding catches of Wahoo, Tuna, Baracuda and more on each trip. The rooms and service are excellent. We will continue to return. We have never had a negative encounter. We love Cozumel and you will too. | | First Name: | Tom, Ann, Jesse, Luke | Last Name: | Faisant | Added: | Thursday.March.31.2005 | City, State, Country: | Charlottesville,Virginia

| Comments: | Compared to Oscar, Raul, Adriano, Louis, Chino and the rest of the crew...the Palancar reefs were OK.
But you guys are GREAT!!!
It could have been the Dead Sea and we STILL would have had a blast.
Thanks for the hospitality and friendly smiles.
Thanks for all the help, patience, and beautiful dives. Thanks for everything!
Next time, can we go see the horse race too?
Look for the good time pictures we sent you!
Now those are REAL Sea Horses!!!
Stay happy, stay safe...see you again

| Comments: | Just spent a week diving with you. From my first impression with Adrian, to the dives with Bingo The operation was excellent. You handled the different levels of divers well. You got people on and off the boats quickly and efficiently.While I was there, I talked several people into doing the resort course with you and at the end of the week they were pumped. Thats what is all about. Tell Bingo the video's turned out as good as expected. His Dive Leadership skills were great as well as his communication skills. Five stars!

My wife has a bad back and subsequently,ALL the divemasters on the dives assisted her with her equipment onputting it on at watr level and taking it off her while still in the water.
I highly recommend this company to anyone diving in mexico. We will definitely return again next christmas as we did this past Christmas.
