1997 December 23, Re: Cozumel Scuba Du, “William Seiffert, M.D.”, in rec.scuba.locations (Usenet):I think Scuba Du is the best operation we have dove with in Cozumel, others have been Dive Paradise and Scuba Cozumel at the Galapago. We were there in low season and had 4-6 divers per boat. I suspect they could have "cattled" us up in one or two boats but they put the whole fleet out.
