We have started today DIVING TRIPS
after Wilma
First happy divers after Wilma on our No Problem boat
06 NOVEMBER 2005:
We
are in the process of repairing the hotel and expect to be
open again for guest at the hotel on
November 20th.
We were told by the Marine Park we are able to go back to
work, taking divers to the reefs.
We must let the Marine Park know 24 hours before which
reefs we will be diving.
SO WE START BACK TO WORK DIVING
AGAIN!
Our boats are cleaned and ready to go!
05 NOVEMBER 2005:
6 divemasters
went out diving on Saturday and found the reef have definitely
changed - they all were dropped in different places and surveyed
a different reef or sections of reefs.
They found so many fish, turtles and even
eagle rays and sharks in abundance.
The landscape of the reefs has changed.
Sand has been added in some places and
taken away in others.
Some swim-throughs have disappeared -
and other new ones appeared.
The
soft corals seemed to have taken the biggest hit, especially in
the shallow sections
- when you go a little deeper -
about 80 feet - there seems to be little
or no damage found.
A
new diver to Cozumel would find diving Cozumel spectacular
where a frequent diver to the reefs - will
DISCOVER them AGAIN.
Electricity has now returned to over 90% of Cozumel.
The
people of Cozumel are AMAZING - they are all helping to
clean the debris from the streets.
Right now there is ferry and air transport to Cozumel -
on November 14 - cruiships will return to the island.
At
the hotel and dive shop - all of our people, divemasters, cooks to
Captains (even Victor) are helping clean up.
I
do not think anyone is going hungry or thirsty on the island -
as the government is helping sending supplies of food and water.
The
grocery stores are open and all well stocked.
It
is getting better each day - and the clean up is progressing.
Let us know if you need other information or would like to make
reservations.
