    Help Name Our Sports Bar In Miami

    OK, so we need a name for a new sports bar in Miami. It used to be called "Jimbo's" which sucks. It is co-owned with the "SCORES" guys from New York with whom I used to do business up there (oh yeah, that SCORES) and of course we can't use that name (the women will have clothes...

    Cozumel Choices -- help me!

    They (Casa Mex) are getting obnoxious too. I used to get discounts since I sent so many people to them. They seem to have forgotten all about that now (actually tried to push RACK RATES on me for a January trip!!!). I don't eat that much anyway so the breakfast is more or less...

    Cozumel Choices -- help me!

    My copy/paste pat rsponse (plus some extra).... Personally, I stay at Casa Mexicana (the last 4 trips, love it) and have been diving with Dive Paradise since its inception (I am talking for almost 20 years now): Apple always goes out of her way to make sure you'll (well, at least I will...ha)...

    Coz recos wanted, please!

    Personally, I stay at Casa Mexicana (the last 4 trips, love it) and have been diving with Dive Paradise since its inception (I am talking for almost 20 years now): Apple always goes out of her way to make sure you'll (well, at least I will...ha) be happy, and they also have so many different...

    200ft dive, but avoids the Chamber

    My understanding is that you can have an onset of O2 toxicity symptoms at or around 207 feet and greater almost immediately (I'm not talking convulsions and death, I'm talking "onset of symptoms") depending on physiology and other variable factors. This guy claims to have been 220 and Bullethead...

    200ft dive, but avoids the Chamber

    I smell a BS story. First, it's amazing that this diver (and especially Mr. Bulletproof) didn't suffer O2 toxicity (see below). Second, it's highly unlikely that calling DAN with this story would result in a "don't worry about it" result. Effects of Oxygen at Depth -- The effects of oxygen...

    Safer than bowling?

    There are lies, damn lies, and statistics...the numbers to which you are referring only show number of injuries per 10,000 participants. While on a numbers basis, there are less injuries in diving than bowling (and a whole host of other sports), it's the magnitude of those injuries (as others...

    Wastin' away in Cozumel

    Whatever Raul (Rock n' Java) is saying about it, I'm with him...heh-heh...seriously though, I don't think Margaritaville thretaens local business as much as it is the other way around. I guess the cruise crowd may stop off there, but remember most of these people are eating heaping plates on the...

    Feeling ripped off by LDS – please advise.

    Here's a couple simple points: capitalism works both ways, and I buy from the place that gives me the best product at the best price, no exception. While I might give the LDS a chance to meet, I usually don't because they usually won't. I never had a LDS "fix my regulator" on an emergency basis...

    Why Do You Dive?

    Here is my diving Koan ((c) 2003) A Zen Scuba Instructor saw five of his students return from their last scuba diving practice carrying all of their scuba gear. When they had stopped, the teacher asked the students, "Why do you scuba dive?" The first student replied, "Scuba Diving is exercise...

    Getting separated on a Coz reef dive...

    T, I hope you know I was just kidding...OK, now that we've decided that Charles can continue to dive solo (since no one is going to dive with him) and that some of us have knots in (and on) our heads, I think this thread has definitely worn out its welcome...knots or not knots...since this is...

    Interesting story from DM about dive site Barracuda!

    There are several different methods to deal with this kind of current. I do NOT recommend inflating your BC to fight the current, unless you are super-experienced and are ready to dump fast once you get out of it. If you feel like you must do something (sometimes it's best just to wait it out if...
