When's the last ferry?

Hey guys,

My brother and I stayed at Arena Blanca in January and had a blast. I wanted to treat ourselves to some luxury so we ended up renting the Penthouse there. It was amazing, and we loved trying out the restaurants (favorite was El Fuegon, cheap and delicous). I loved the area around Arena Blanca, especially since it was so close to Piola, which I visited three times during our stay. YUM-MY! We went to PDC mainly for diving, but a night out at Coco Bongo or an all dancing night during the BPM festival made for some superb memories.

I'm currently planning another diving trip but with the girlfriend this time. The diving in Cozumel was much better than in PDC, but I'm concerned about something: how could we go back to Cozumel at night, say, after Coco Bongo's show? AFAIK the last ferry is at 9:00 or 10:00PM.


I'm thinking of staying on Cozumel for a 5-6 days for the dives then switch to a condo on PDC so we could experience some night life, unless there is a way to return to Coz after a night out on town that I do not know about?

Make a real night of it, and take the 6:00 am ferry back.

Have you considered staying in PDC and go with a dive operation that goes to Cozumel? That way you can get the best of both worlds.


I know Tank Ha has there own boat that goes over to Cozumel for a 2 tank dive. My hubby has used them many times and have been very happy with them.

We've done this before (stayed on Cozumel) and gone to Playa to visit with friends, etc. The last ferry out is 10:00. Kind of sucks but if you're diving, you shouldn't be out partying too late anyway!
