“I am a former PADI instructor and have been diving in Cozumel since the 1980's. I have seen good operators and have heard stories about bad operators over the years. I assure anyone reading this review that Blue Notes Scuba in Cozumel is one of the very best.”

Safety practices on record
We found no explicit information about safety practices — oxygen & first aid, dive insurance, divers per guide, dive briefings, equipment servicing, and certification agency — on this operator's website when we read it on 2026-08-24.
Many shops that run dives carefully still publish nothing about how they run them, so this says something about the website, not about the diving. Ask them directly before you book.

Themes across the reviews Google returns — at most 5 per place, picked by relevance, not at random. Not independent reports, and not enough reviews to tell you a shop is safe.
This is not a safety rating. It records what an operator publishes and what its reviewers happen to mention — nothing here says an operator is safe or unsafe.
