I have noticed that I'm getting a small air leak where the hose mates into the pressure gauge. It is a Cressi spg only. I can resolve the problem by turning/spinning the gauge back and forth on the hose connection. Is this normal, or should I take it back to my LDS? It has done it since...

Hmmm, I wonder if I can use this meeting as an excuse to go to Coz every week...."Honey, I have a meeting to go to and I'll be back in a few days." It might be worth a try.

This is the best written guide of the Coz sites that I have found. Some of the various dive operations' websites also contain interactive guides/info on the dive sites in Coz. http://www.cozumeldiveguide.com/ I found a copy at my LDS.

Has anyone tried the Best Western located at the Airport (it use to be a Ramada Inn)? I understand that it was remodeled in August 2004 but I'm always of little skeptical of airport hotels. They seem more like a place to stare at the ceiling and listen to airplanes take off all night...

You can't beat Cozumel. We try to get there 2 to 3 times per year and hope to there even more often than that. Addicted?....you betcha!!!!!!!! :dazzler1:

I have always used email with very good results to contact dive ops in Coz and set up my dives. Sometimes it takes a day or two before a reply comes back. They often get busy or email may be down or they may be out of town. For instance, I believe that a few of the dive ops from Coz...

We have an overnight layover in San Juan on our way to the BVIs. Does anyone have any recommendations for a safe, quiet, clean and not too expensive (<$140/night) hotel to grab a nights sleep before jumping on a plane the next morning?

If you're heading to Mexico and you can still change your reservations, you might consider going to Cozumel (just a few miles across the channel from PDC). PDC has some good diving and great beaches but the diving pales compared to what you will find along Cozumel. If your reservations for PDC...

Based upon my research on places to go in the Caribbean, it appears that Jamaica has some interesting things to do and see but diving is definately not one of them. I have seen the diving described as mediocre at its best. Of course, if I was along for the ride on business or other and it...

Never mind, found the airline insurance info on AA's website. Rates The charge for excess valuation insurance for checked baggage is assessed at a rate of $2.00 USD per each one hundred dollars purchased. The total valuation on your checked luggage may not exceed $5,000 USD per passenger...

I have an Atomic B2 and I think the first stage has a similar layout as the M1. In any event, I have a recollection of removing the hose that came straight out the bottom, plugging that hole and putting the hose on the port on the side. I think that it was on the bottom for shipping/packaging...

Cozumel would be a good choice. Good prices, air fare is reasonable typically from most locations. Large number of choices for accomdations in all price ranges. Although shore diving is not great, the boat diving is among the best in the world. Try www.funjetvacations.com Belize would be...

If she's your dive buddy, then the sky is the limit on dive purchases. :eyebrow:

I was looking at their website and they look like a nice operation that will pick divers up on some of the other islands such as Virgin Gorda. It looks like if you have 2 or more divers you get the boat to yourself for the day for a fairly good price ($100 pp for 3 people for the entire day)...

I would also be interested in any one's experiences with UBS Dive Center.

I would agree wholeheartedly with Natasha's comments, especially about doing the refresher course. While I have not used Dive Palancar (the onsite dive operator at the Grand), I have read good comments about them. Depending on how much experience you had prior to your break from diving for the...

Thanks. That's a great idea. Did they pick you up on Virgin Gorda?

Liquid Blue would be my first choice and then right behind LB is BlueXTSeadiving.

I have dove with both Christi (BlueXTSeadiving) and Roberto (Liquid Blue) and IMHO they run 2 of the best dive operations in Cozumel.
