My brother-in-law just returned from a dive trip to Mexico. He was carrying a lot of underwater photo gear and flew out of Cozumel. Like everywhere, they allowed no spare lithium batteries in checked bags. But, here's the odd part: they allowed no standard batteries in carry-ons and confiscated all of his AA alkalines! I have no idea if this is official Mexican policy or just an enterprising agent with a burgeoning used battery business but flyer beware.
That same agent was probably handing out fliers to incoming passengers telling them where they can buy batteries!
