Your best and least expensive is through Miami although if you can get to Montego Bay then connect to Air Jamaica, you may save some extra mileage

If you can get a flight to Aruba, you might do well to connect there on BonairExel. Air Jamaica can be a real horror story - last time I took Air Jamaica back to Washington from Bonaire, they decided not to wait for our flight in Montego Bay and put us on a flight to Phila at midnight and wanted to bus us to DC from there at 2am. I could tell you other Air Jamaica experiences, but suffice to say, I'd avoid them if you can. I'm taking Continental from DCA to Aruba in August and from there via BonairExel to Boanire to arrive at 4pm. It's worth avoiding Air Jamaica if you can. Continental has flights to Aruba from Houston if you can get a connection there from Cozumel.

Interesting -- I've had nothing but good experience and good service with Air Jamaica. I won't hesitate to use them again and to recommend them to anyone, and I know quite a lot of people who feel the same.

Try American to San Juan. That is a big hub. But to be honest, a week in both places will be eatten up by travel time and exhaustion. If you really want to hit another dive destination, my sugggestion is to pick up KLM's flight out of Bonaire (daily) to Kito, Ecuador and dive the Galapagos. It's only a few hours and is awesome.

I have been to both Bonaire once (headed back in two months!) and Coz twice. I would not even bother going to Coz. It has gotten too crowded and I don't like cattle boat diving. The shore diving on Bonaire in untouchable IMHO.

Chris, I would suspect it all has to do with where you stay in Coz. We were just there in May for our 6th trip. We always stay on the south end, directly on San Francisco Beach and the diving is spectacular. No cattle boat diving. We would never stay near downtown with its excessive cruise ship congestion and cattle boat operators.

I have been there twice at the presidente. I love that hotel don't get me wrong there. I should add the first trip about 10 years ago was wonderful, the second I really noticed some changes most of which dealt with many more people on the island. It was too touristy and crowded for my taste.
