Solo female diver recs

Hi everyone!
I’m about to start my PADI Open Water certification at home and am planning to complete my four referral/open-water dives in Cozumel. I’ll be traveling solo, and I’m a woman in my 30s, so I’d especially love to hear from other women who have done a solo dive trip to Cozumel.

Did you feel comfortable traveling and diving there alone? Which dive operator did you use, and would you recommend them for a newer diver completing her certification?

I’ve seen the long list of recommended operators here, but I’m especially interested in places that are welcoming to solo divers. A couple of shops I’ve contacted have told me they need at least two divers to run the boat, and since I won’t be traveling with a buddy, I’d love recommendations for operators where showing up solo isn’t an issue.

I’d also really appreciate hotel recommendations! Ideally somewhere that feels comfortable for a woman traveling alone, is convenient for walking around/getting food in the evenings, and makes dive-day pickup easy. Thank you!
