| Comments: | Stay 8/29/06 - 9/09/06 (4 nites Allegro, 6 nites Grand. Awesome Trip! Dove every day with Dive Palancar. 2 - 4 dives a day. Wife and I did 43 tanks between us. Words can't say enough to describe what a great dive operation Dive Palancar is. The dive masters and boat helpers are always there when they're needed. Getting off the boat, on the boat, help with tank change over, bottled water handed to you when your back on board. The guys in the shop are excellent as well. Special thanks to our divemasters: Pingo, Willian, Sergio, and George. Also, 1/2 meter (boat helper). Thanks for a great time. Thanks to Miguel in the shop too. We'll be back as soon as we can.

| Comments: | We were in Cozumel in June 2006 and stayed at the Occidental Grand. We took the pool introductory course the next morning upon arrival. The instructor was Adrienne (hope I spelled it right). After the course we asked "when can we go diving". He told us that we would have to do a beach dive first. This was a good introduction to diving and it was done right in front of the resort and yes there was plenty to see. Even though we were probably only in 20ft of water it certain allows you to judge (and the dive masters with Dive Palancar) whether you are capable to do a reef dive. After exiting the water we wanted to know when we could go again. We dove 2 days later on the San Francisco Wall. It was an amazing experience, if you want to know what space is probably like ... this is it. My wife had one other dive and I two.
We have since come home and are in the process of taking our diving certification.
Adrienne was professional and very cautious, he explained everything well and made sure that we were in the limits of safe diving. I know that now after taking diving classes. I want to thank him and the Dive Palancar team. We will be back as soon as the Hurricane season is over.

Hi to all!!!!
Mike
I started diving with Dive Palancar in 1994, when I retired. I have gone every year since then to the Allegro, and in February 2006 to the Grand, since the Allegro was still closed because of Wilma.
I agree that dive masters make the difference. My first instructor/dive master was Allison Dennis, and this year William, Joshua, and Gustavo, Jr. (with dive shop mentor, Carlos for every year since 1994).
As a senior citizen (I just had my 70th birthday), I intend to go back to the Allegro and/or the Grand dive as long as I can.
I have particularly enjoyed watching my dive masters grow up, starting as helpers and progressing to certification as dive masters who are caring, professional, and speak fluent English to answer any questions that I might have.
There have been great dives, some strong currents...some reversed, rough water. and the boat captains and all of the dive masters followed strict PADI protocol, and I never was concerned about my welfare, since everyone really cared and knew what they were doing.
In February 2006 we divers surfaced after a great dive at Dalila. The weather was rough when we started the dive, but we not prepared for what we saw when we surfaced. The weather had become so bad that it was difficult to see the boat, but not impossible. The surf was much worse than when we had started, and we knew that it would be difficult to board the boat.
Things went as expected with no difficulty. The boat came to us, backed up, threw out a line, and we waited our turn to board. It was very difficult to grab the line because of the pitch of the boat, about six feet, maybe more. I was second from last to get on. Gustavo, Jr. was last of course, and I think there were three pairs of hands to help me get onto the boat.
Once on board, there were no dive boats in view (a first in my experience as a diver on Cozumel), and we heard later that the port was closed.The surf had become so rough that we had to get off the boat at the Allegro pier since the newer pier at the Grand offered no relief from the surf because of the pilings. The pier at the Allegro, as you know, is made of concrete, and it was possible to disembark on the side opposite the direction of the surf.
I hope this helps you.

| Comments: | Don't leave your wife or girlfriend unattended with the company of a divemaster by the name of Volrath (Aldora Divers)... he seems to have a thing for the ladies. The more research I've done, the more I have found this is an on going problem with this guy. I complained with management but they didn't appear too concerned.

| Comments: | We stayed at the Allego from June 19th through June 24th of this year. We are glad to see that the Allegro Resort and Dive Palancar are up and running and back in business after the terrible hurricanes last year.
During our visit to your lovely island and paradise we made many dives with one of our favorite dive masters "William". We think of William as part of our family and look forward to returning one day to dive again with William and Dive Palancar.
It is nice to dive with people that you trust and respect and that is one of the main reasons we always return to Allego and we always dive with Dive Palancar.
Thank you for being a great operation.
Sincerely,

| Comments: | Just back from 2 weeks of scuba diving with Dive Palancar, my fourth time in all, and had a great time. Nice to see that the reefs haven't suffered too much from the recent hurricanes and it was also nice to dive a few new locations. "The Devil's Throat" was a real thrill.
A big "Hi" to all those other guests that I dived with and also the dive crews. Hope to see you all again some time in the future. First Name: | Chris | Last Name: | Monk | Added: | Saturday.June.3.2006 | City, State, Country: | Bristol,

| Comments: | My family & myself will be vacationing in Cozumel on 5/27/2006-6/3/2006. We will be staying at Allegra Cozumel Resort and would like to do about 10 to 12 tank dives while we are there and a couple of snorkling trips possibly. I will be the only person in my group diving but I may be able to get my wife and daughter to go on a snorkling trip. I will be talking to you when we get there.

| Comments: | My husband and I were in Cozumel 5/12-5/16/06. (We had just completed our OW certification at home in a freezing cold quarry on 5/5.) We decided to have Karen, a dive instructor with Dive Palancar, take us out so we could get used to everything. We had such a great experience! She was very attentive and a true professional.

| Comments: | Stayed at Occidental Grand May 17-21, 2006. Dive Palancar is a great dive operator. My daughter and I did several private dives with Juan as Dive Master and we highly recommend him (as well as the entire staff). Although we were previously OW certified, this was our first "real" ocean dive. Juan was VERY patient (getting our neutral bouyancy correct), overly helpful, and just a joy to be with. There were several things he pointed out (rays, eels, and "tortugas") that we would have easily missed. Can't wait to come back!!!

| Comments: | Family trip for 7 to Occidental Grand 3/11/06-3/18/06 -- 6 divers from ages 14 to 70+. Dive Palancar offered EXCELLENT service! Divemaster Gustavo and crew did a wonderful job. Great dives: shallow, deep, wall, sunset, night. Being able to leave wet suits and other gear at the dive shop to be rinsed and hung to dry was a REAL plus -- saved having to tote everything back to our room each time. Our guys (teenagers)say they are homesick for Cozumel! That tells how comfortable all were. Yuri made a wonderful DVD for our 50th Anniversary that we have enjoyed watching over and over -- GREAT photography -- very professional. La Maestra is using Yuri's other wonderful video of sealife with her classes at school. Thanks Planacar!
