I've thought about going to Cozumel but I have heard that it is a lot of drift diving and that you don't really get an opportunity to stop and get good video. It looks like you saw so many of my favorite things to see there.
Yes, Cozumel is mostly drift dive with current from south towards north. There a few low/no current dives (Palancar bricks, and few others further south). So it is a bit inconvenient, especially when current is strong, you simply can not go back. On the other hand it helps preserve energy, you just sit still and let the current take you, it is a bit like watching a movie, you keep watching ahead and can not go back/rewind.
