Welcome to sunny Mexico, land of the magic
margaritas and bottled water! Our island of Cozumel is one of the safest
places on earth! Not only do we boast about our almost non-existent crime
rate but we also claim fame for making sure that our visitors are served
only purified water and ice and that all produce and meats are prepared
properly.
Please be aware that any place you go in Cozumel will be serving purified
ice in your drinks and only bottled water at your table. All dishes are
prepared and all veggies are cleaned with purified water.

| PLEASE
BE AWARE: DRINKING TAP WATER COULD MAKE YOU SICK! However, drink all the bottled water you
like. When you order water in a restaurant you will be served bottled
purified water. |
As a local for almost two decades, I can tell
you that folks on the island also drink only purified water and ice. We,
too, have sensitive systems and are subject to getting sick. After all,
we are all human. If you are concerned about getting sick then read on
to learn more about what it is that makes you sick while on vacation in
Mexico. You'll be surprised to know that it probably won't be the water!
Diarrhea is usually caused by parasites and bacteria. But it is also commonly
a result of too much sun, too much alcohol, too much to eat, a change
in your diet, not enough sleep before, after, and during your trip, and exceptional exercise involved with diving, and the disco! |
| If
you do get sick, please let us help you get well by directing you to a
good doctor. DO NOT DIVE WITH DIARRHEA
OR A HANGOVER. The risk of decompression
sickness for a dehydrated body (no matter what shape you are in) is very
high. |
