Hey i have been diving in cozumel for over 4 years and havent seen anything like that either! Thats so cool lookin beautiful pics of the hawksbill too! Where do u usually stay at and what reef site was that on if u can remember?
I've stayed all over the place, it depends on who's with us and what we're doing.
To go into town a lot, or the grocery store(Chedraui) we like Plaza Las Glorias. For the nicest, and where we got married, we love Presidente.
For cheap, we go Casa Del Mar, or La Ceiba. This time we stayed at Fiesta Americana and it was nice. It's farther South than most hotels, except the all-inclusives, so you get to the dive site faster and get to sleep a little later before the boat picks you up. It does cost more to taxi to town though. We've never stayed at an all-inclusive, because I don't drink on dive trips and can't eat enough to make it worthwhile. We also like several places in town to eat.
The coral in the barrel sponge was at about 120 feet on Santa Rosa wall, the carpet was around 80 feet on the beach side of one of the fingers at Columbia. There were more turtles this trip than ever before. 7 on one dive and at least one every day. They were very calm around people and had no concerns, so make sure no one touches them so they stay that way!
