We link to them so you can check the context. A source-based review is not an on-site inspection. Dates labeled as research reviews indicate when sources were reviewed, not when a service was visited, tested or certified. Local contributions are identified separately, may be published anonymously, and distinguish editorial updates from independent verification. ## What we do not claim We do not invent authors, local credentials, reviews, ratings, testimonials, or firsthand experiences. We do not present exact prices or schedules as permanent facts. We do not guarantee weather, sea conditions, availability, or the safety of an activity. ## Information that changes When sources disagree or a detail cannot be confirmed, we explain the uncertainty. Before a purchase or departure, the current operating source should confirm the detail. Access, transport, rules, and changes that affect a travel decision take priority for review. ## Commercial relationships Cozumel Island is associated with Cozumel Divers. That relationship does not make a mention an independent comparison. Any future sponsorship, affiliate link, or promotion must be identified beside the relevant content. This edition contains no affiliate links. ## Languages and photography All language editions communicate the same guidance, rather than disguising one language as another. Photographs are credited and are not evidence of a personal visit or current conditions. ## Corrections Corrections should record what changed and update the review date when a substantive new check has occurred. Dates should not change simply to suggest freshness. Send a correction through the [Cozumel Divers]() website with the page address and a verifiable source. [Back to the island]()
