Yes, Sir! (In my experience you can't slip anything by Rick...LOL).

Good old Adrian. When he was at the other location, I was maintaining an apartment in that 3 story apartment building over there back down the block towards the Malecon (with the blue roof - can't remember the name). Well, anyway, I go in there one night and he brings out this frozen Gigantic...

Excellent!

Exactly right...you have to get "island head" as soon as you get off the plane...easy to do once you've done it a dozen or so times (ha)...this doesn't only go for Cozumel or Mexico, but for many dive destinations...you gotta go with the flow!

That was on a Friday though...

I have 12 personalities: can I get a discount? LOL!!!! Excellent point in the speaking Spanish part. I always get my point across better with my broken Spanish (and get everyone laughing as well). It goes a long way to not being seen as an "ugly American" when you at east make the attempt in...

Here's what OP posted on Tripadvisor: Dive Paradise: + positives Reasonable price, always on time, skilled/knowledgeable dive masters, flexible -negatives Again, the story always changed depending on who you talked to. Huge communication barriers--we booked the reservations with Kathy...

Something somewhat anomalous about the juxtaposition of these two paragraphs: ne'st ce pas? You did go diving with Dive Paradise? Sounds like they got the job done for you based on your 2nd paragraph. Next time, communicate your expectations clearly with someone at the shop BEFORE you book your...

Yes, I definitely agree that the decption is not a good thing. However, with the big rubber stamp, it's more like a little misdirection. Did we say whether or not anything was mentioned on the menu like "Service Charge Included" or anything like that? That would definitely change the scenario a...

Yes, maybe they can influence the "Cozumel Council," or whatever it is, but I'm sure Mexico City isn't in any jeopardy. I guess it's all a matter of degree. I would be completely ashamed to make a big deal over $2.00 (or 5 or 10) in a cab ride, tip or any other thing relative to my income...

Just kidding; I didn't mean anything personal - it's my ascerbic writing style...lol...I wasn't claiming it (the definition or explanation) as mine, and this isn't exactly an academic forum, not to mention I couldn't find the "footnote" key, so, I didn't feel a need to provide any additional...

Comparatively, they don't make that much money...let's be serious...and it's not like they're influencing the outcome of Mexican elections or emigration policy...lol...

How about we look at it this way - the average masero makes what, 36 pesos/day (which is what, about $3.50?). Now add to that that an average meal is probably about no more than 100 pesos (depending, maybe 150) and that's what, $8-$12? Your measly extra 10% or 15% is what, a $1 or $2? Cabbies...

I heard that ^you^ was caught several times poaching lobsters in Cozumel...prediction: it will only affect the more visible places. Other than that, it will probably just drive the price of the available lobsters up...maybe people will start having the secret restaurants like in Havana, where...

Sorry, but I like eating them...I certainly wouldn't want them to go extinct though (where's the upside to that?)...

Nice dye job on the hair...lol...

Maybe its a time share junket, or one of those "Jim Jones" programming specials...lol...

You could stay at Costa Brava Hotel. I used to stay there when I was young and poor...lol...its actually pretty nice for like $30/night...or less...don't worry about what it says on their website, as they negotiate...plus it's right across from Dive Paradise...
