COZUMEL 1 APRIL

The day is started with some confusion, as we are not sure about the 1 hour time change we heard about. It is a bit like April Fool’s Day!!! You have to set your watches one hour earlier – and it is really difficult to get out of bed for the early morning dive – especially if you are not sure what time it is! We were well informed, seemed that half of Cozumel were not so well informed. Divers arrive late and even shops open late, because people did not know about the time change!. We dive with Blue Angel, which is owned by Pedro’s daughter and is located at his other hotel, CariBlue, about 2 kilometers down the beach from us. The day just gets better with two brilliant dives At least 40 meters of viz and stunning walls!!! We see lots of fish, eels, and get to do the Santa Rosa Wall, which is one of the best spots around. Luc is happy to stay on the boat and chats up an American lady who does not do her second dive. In exchange for his wait on the boat, he gets time to swim at the pool at CariBlue. Today he is brave and gets his father to take him snorkelling. Every now and again you hear these screams from the reef side, when he sees a fish! We walk home – a long walk after a whole morning on the boat. The afternoon sleep is fantastic (now we are on a real diving holiday!). In the afternoon I get my computer ready to go to the only Internet shop that has ADSL (my wireless is still not working!), just to discover that it is closed! Ag man – you just can’t win!!! We then try and go for dinner, and once again discover that about everything is closed – the reason for this, no cruise ships on a Sunday! We end up having to go to Café Denis and yet another Mexican meal – I wanted pasta today!!!!! The Cuban band is playing on the square, and whilst we listen to them, Luc gets entertained by a local clown! When we get home we get invited by Luc’s fellow-cartoon friend (and co-owner of Villas Anclas) for ice cream! Late night, because we are still adjusting to the hour time change, but really happy!
