Cozumel Dive & Adventure Guide Franko Maps Waterproof Map

I was worried I'd get an outdated map since the Amazon page says "Release date: March 1, 2007" but I'm happy to report the map I received was made in 2013. I think this map will be very useful on our upcoming trip. The quality seems great and I'm glad it's waterproof. If I had one complaint it's that the small text on the map is printed in a color that isn't very contrasted to the background making it a little hard to read with my aging eyes. I'm sure it will be better in sunlight.

The map looks wonderful! can't wait to use it to find good snorkeling spots and find the ruins of ancient civilizations while on vacation very soon! I've never spent this much on a map before, but I looked at it as a one-time purchase and an investment in the fun I'll be having. I mean a few bucks to know where everything is and what the things I want to see are is a small price to pay.

Very nice map on water resistant paper. Each dive site around the island has a short description for it, including depths for each site. Site seeing sights are shown on the island as well as a chart of the average low air temp, high air temp and surface water temp throughout the year. A corner of the map is dedicated to the different sea life present in the water around Cozumel. Some historical facts are presented. A close up of the area around the city of San Miguel is on the back side including the international airport, San Miguel and the area along the shore south of San Miguel. Finally, a very close up map of downtown San Miguel is also given on the back side. I received ISBN 1-60190-108-9 for reference.

We did not test out the waterproofness of this map. It is a thick texture and sort of a laminate paper, but I'm not sure how waterproof. The reason for the 5 stars was it explained a lot of the reefs and has a detailed map of the island. It was very informative. It also has a blown up section of San Miguel. We referred to it often.

I wish I had taken the time to search for this map BEFORE I went to Cozumel, instead of finding it (in laminated form) at the airport on the way out. I bought one on the spot for the friend who took me there, then ordered this folded format one (much easier to use, a little smaller, but less durable) for myself, in anticipation of a return trip.This map clearly shows ALL the snorkeling and dive spots with information on access, dive difficulty, parking, fish you are likely to see and non-acquatic attractions of the island. It is the useful info you would get from an experience and friendly local, not the tourist bureau "It's all wonderful!" you get with the handout maps. Well worth the price!

Very nice map and it looks like the company has plenty of other maps available. I like this one because it provides more than just dive sites there is plenty of local land sites too. I gave it to my friend for Christmas she loved it.

You can literally dunk this map in the water and it will still be usable. Made of good quality material and is foldable and flexible. I really liked all the extra information on the beaches and attractions. My only request is to have more landmarks for the downtown area, however, the ones mentioned were excellent.

I found this map useful both figuring out where we had dived that day and what fish I saw. It also has a decent map of the town and a detailed map of the area immediately around the town.Given the way diving is run in Cozumel at large, a map is useful but not essential, since you are taken around by the dive operators. Most diving is done from a boat.
