    Only On Cozumel

    This recently went up on the corner of Av 11 and the Malecon (by Margaritaville). In the past it was legal to continue going south at the light with caution. Rules recently changed and its not allowed. So this is the sign they posted. Longest way I have ever seen to say traffic light or in...

    Finally doing trip to Xcalak

    Really doubt that you can do that now days. There are much more restrictions on diving or visiting for that matter Chinchorro. I think you can do day trips from Ixcalak to San Pedro but that was only a quick back and forth trip. Not sure what troubles you would have clearing immigration in...

    Customer Service

    I just sent in my explorer wing. The attachment where the oral inflator hose connects to the bladder had broken. I honestly did not expect this to fall under warranty but it did. Many thanks to Halycon for taking care of their customers. It is just such a pleasure to work with a company like...

    Buying Property in Tulum - Advice Needed

    I have not read through all the previous replies. But I can answer as someone who has purchased a condo in Mexico and used it as rental property (sold now). If you are only going to use it as a home base for 3-4 weeks DO NOT BUY. Whatever sweet talk the seller is giving you about rental...

    Bikini Atoll study

    Just stumbled on this thread. Bikini was fantastic. Was there in 2001 and back again four years later. The sad thing as has been previously noted, the wrecks are starting to collapse. I hope the land based opens up again but Air Marshall was just too undependable for the operation to...

    Finally doing trip to Xcalak

    You should be able to do the drive from Cancun in 4-5 hours stopping for lunch and gas along the way. Roads are fine. After Tulum its a two lane but not much traffic. There is a gas station outside of Mahajual. In Ixcalak there now is an ice plant. Costa de Cocos is great. Try David's home...

    Cantarell Wall

    Just a FYI. Did two dives on Cantarell today. Group of two rays on the first dive and three on the second. Not like years gone by. Very nasty currents blowing out.

    Current in Cocos

    Its been a while since i was at cocos but I have done quite a few trips on the Sea Hunter Boats. Currents can range from nothing (inside of Manulitos) to VERY STRONG where your mask can get pushed off your face if you are on the bottom holding on. As the previous poster says its advanced...

    Advice on Mexico Cave Diving

    Years ago yes you had to hike in from the main Highway and your gear rode the backs of mules. Today you can drive right up to the site. No worse a hike then many of the cenotes though bit of a climb down to the water. Amazing cave system. Swiss cheese at its best.
