John,
I've been diving Mexico for 30 years and I'd say Cozumal is the best.
Saw my first sharks here in '76 big thrill for a novice diver. Cancun
has some nice spots but Club Med used to have the best operation. I
haven't been there in years so don't know if it's still first
class-ask around.
Acapulco has some fair spots. You can shore dive on J P Morgan's old
yacht "Corsair".
I'll be in Acapulco around Christmas, if you e-mail me at
mebubbe@msn.com I'll show you where to find The Corsair.
