Open water dive certification - So in the beginning of March, I was on the Disney dream cruise ship that went to Cozumel and I did the beginner course through Sand Dollar and fell in love with it and the two instructors I had at that time we’re phenomenal so I decided to get my open water dive certification through them And I went back on Thursday and Friday with an instructor named Oz who was absolutely phenomenal great guy, phenomenal, and teaching and explaining hands on the certification and the training that was required we went and did my very first open water dives on Saturday. I highly recommend this place. The staff is phenomenal. The equipment is very good and well-maintained and the location is absolutely gorgeous

AOW course experience - Doing AOW course in Cozumel with Sand dollars,(I am a crew number BTW ) Sand dollars was long time here in Cozumel with experienced dive instructors and water here is beautiful . My dive instructor name is Osvaldo , very nice person that he always keep an eye on me during the underwater make sure that I am ok . Here always can see other divers or students and it is a popular place for divers. But unfortunately I went to course by myself and I do not have any waterproofed camera so I don't have those fancy pictures ( My dive instructor had shooting some pictures for me but I am still trying to find out how to down to my personal device ) And besides the diving course the food from their restaurant was good as well . The restaurant name called " The Sunset " just 400 yards away from the cruise port.

Terrific intro or refresh for PADI diving fans - Took the refresher. Lots of staff , perfectly coordinated. Very serious and professional about safety. Good equipment and sanitized Raphael was terrific instructor. The 30 minute diving was excellent. I saw alot of fish, including a few schools of fish. We were with group of 4 but did not stay to eat or drink
