Pictures from our May 2002 trip to Cozumel


This was the first SCUBA diving trip Kati and I had taken in 2 years! We went with Pinnacles Dive Center of Santa Rosa, California. Scott Taylor led the trip and all the accomodations, connections, and arrangements worked perfectly. We had never been to Cozumel and were interested in the current diving. Our expectations were exceeded!

We stayed at the SCUBA Club Cozumel. Special service was provided by:
Casey Jones (Dive Center Manager)
Manual aka "Free Willy" (Dive Master)
Victor (Boat Crew)
Juan (Waiter in the Restaurant at breakfast)
Adolfo (Waiter in the Restaurant at dinner)
