WINTER 2014
A
household name for decades,
Cozumel remains a favorite
in North American scuba
circles. Easy to reach, easy
to dive and so much fun
that many people make an
annual pilgrimage, this little
island has duly earned icon status. The
currents of my career in underwater
photography pushed me throughout the
Pacific, Atlantic and Caribbean, but I had
somehow managed to miss Cozumel,
Mexico. I had chased sailfish off nearby
Isla Mujeres and enjoyed exploring the
subterranean cenotes of the neighboring
Riviera Maya. But close doesn’t cut it, so
I enlisted the aid of a good friend with
dozens of Coz visits under his belt. In no
time flat, everything was in order.
