Cozumel, Mexico

So - another year and another Cozumel trip. I just can't stay away from the place... We started the diving Friday afternoon, a couple of hours after arriving. The first dive was on "The Wreck", a navy ship sunk last summer. It's called Felipe Xicotencatl, but everybody just calls it The Wreck (well, there is only one in Cozumel!) It sits in 80 feet of water and we started the dive by going down the to the stern. From there we entered the ship and followed our divemaster up and down stairs through several rooms. At one time I had to stop and wait for the people in front of me so I held on to a door opening. Kids, don't do that without wearing gloves - I did and cut myself. Not real bad, but enough to leave a small trail of green blood... I hate wearing gloves but should have worn them on this particular dive! As I didn't, I know now where to get a tetanus shot in Cozumel. I had been told to go to a pharmacy where I could get the shot. The pharmacies I went to at the square did have the vaccin, but they would only sell it too me, I had to inject it myself. That's a little too much for me so I went to a clinic to have it done. They didn't have the actual vials with vaccin, so I had to go to a pharmacy around the corner to buy it and then go back to the clinic to have the nurse inject it. She was very professional and did an excellent job. I then took a cab back to the hotel but decided to sit out the night dive (or rather move it to Saturday night).
