Grrrr, it seems the closer we get to the invasion date, the more time is slowing down.

I know what you mean, but in some ways with it's like a freight train getting ready to plow right over us.
So much still to do!

Two lights are all that is needed for night diving in Cozumel but who knows you made win other items.
Also in Cozumel the water is so clear once your eyes adjust you will have better Viz at night without lights than you have most times at home during the day.
I know that sounds silly but its true.

Oops, I forgot I asked about this. Thanks! Yeah, I know what you mean about the viz, most of my diving has been in crystal clear water. Perhaps the strobes or light sticks are better suited for mucky waters. I just wanted to make sure I was prepared for the night dives since sometimes I see from operators that glowsticks are required items for the night.

For those looking for accessories for the intova cameras might want to look at this web site...red filter is cheaper than LP and wide angle is much less. I have not ordered from them yet, but .....looks good

intova - Adorama.com

Funny, I ordered my new shortie from LeisurePro and it came in an Adorama box, lol. B&H photo is also a little cheaper than Adorama, at least for the red filter I just got.... but the camera and diffuser were the same on both sites.

Ok this is a loaded question, so I will start with what I have been told by Apple the owner of Dive Paradise.

Quote--" Remember, we can always modify things to suit the needs of your divers !"


First issue ---We must know how many divers we have total
Second issue--- Groups may want to stick together ( Families/Dive buddies)
Third issue --- Divers must be comfortable about the dive sites
Fourth issue --- Some divers may want to stay on the same boat for the entire week and some like you, may want to rotate.
Fifth issue --- how to have the most fun

Everyone must remember no matter what your experience level, Dive Paradise has a policy of 1 DM in the water for every 8 divers. This is drift diving and the boat will look for the DM's surface buoy to pick each group up.

The DM's were very flexible with us last time I was there and I expect nothing less this time. Remember we are there for a week and I am determined to work with Dive Paradise and our members to make everyone happy with their diving.

Any more info on this post yet? I know its still early but Im trying to figure out what I'll be able to.


Plan on staying with Jess on most dives but hoping to pawn her off on some unexpecting female diver for the "Lady's afternoon out" :shocked2: and was hoping to get myself in on one of the deeper dives at that time. she as also mentioned not diving every dive, which I think will change after her 1st real dive, but she does like to sleep in so we'll see.

I guess really the question I have is there a very basic pan on what we will be doing for boats?

All Cozumel Invaders...
I have Good News and Bad News...
Good news(for me)... as of yesterday at about 3pm, I am officially an OW certified diver.:banana:
Bad news(for you)... that means that you guys will be stuck diving with a "newbie" for the week!!

I am ready to get underwater somewhere that is clear and warm, because the quarry I was in this weekend was neither clear (6 foot viz), nor warm (52 degrees)!!!!!

There are about 300 posts inbetween that post and now, I wasn't able to dig through them all to find an answer. But I'm hoping they are going to divide the boats up by experience level. I can't imagine them not doing that, but anythings possible.

Awesome Kendall, welcome to the addiction.
There will be plenty of divers of all levels to dive with, so no worries...we all started somewhere. By the end of the trip you'll have a bunch of experience.
