Editor's Blog: Cozumel Currents
After a brief hiatus due to excessive diving, here’s the blog post you’ve all been waiting for. Well, maybe not, but here it is anyway. I’ve spent four days diving in Cozumel so far, and it’s been…fast. As I’ve discovered, Cozumel isn’t known for its currents for nothing.  Our first day, our group dropped in to about 100 feet at Punta Sur, a great site to the south of the island. And it was great — we party crashed on a school of jacks and saw plenty of pinnacles covered in sponges, gorgonians and tube corals. The current at that depth, while present, wasn’t overwhelming.
