In our latest Insider's Dive article, we speak to Chris Darakis about a great alternative to diving from busy boats in Cozumel.

Chris, 63, from Arizona, first visited Cozumel to dive in 1990 and has been back many times over the years since.

He's an experienced wildlife photographer and recreational diver, with a keen eye for underwater imagery.

A special fashion show was held in Cozumel, last month, to raise money for ultrasound equipment for the island's therapy and rehabilitation center, C.R.I.C.

The stars gracing the catwalk included local girls with Down's Syndrome, deafness and other different needs.

We would like to send very Merry Christmas wishes to all our readers, ¡Feliz Navidad!

Cozumel is in full festive swing with Christmas lights, carol singing, piñatas and seasonal charity and cheer.

Islanders will take a short break from the busy winter holidays today or tomorrow to enjoy time with family and friends.

Next time you have the urge for a seafood snack in Cozumel, check out El Sazón Del Camarón, a great little daytime restaurant that's popular with locals.

Meaning 'The Seasoning of the Shrimp', they serve tacos (filled maize flour tortillas) and tortas (bread roll sandwiches), with fried breaded shrimp, fish, octopus, conch, ceviche (local marinaded seafood speciality) and more.
