I just tried a search for the end of February on the Delta website and it doesn't give me any direct flight option; only through Atlanta.

I dived in Negril twice in the fall and the water was very warm (around 82 degrees). The first time I just dived with my swimsuit, but all I did was the OW course and I remember getting a little chilly on the third day. The second time I dived with at 3mm full suit. The 3mm kept me comfortable...

One more vote for Bonaire even though I don't think there would be much work for DMs since it's mostly shore diving. My second choice would be Roatan. I'll be in Cozumel in October for the first time... I also agree with the point made by RoatanMan: you should look into the not so good places...

I bought practically all my gear (wetsuit, computer, BC, etc.) from LP I never had a problem with them. As a matter of fact, I bought my Apeks ATX40 regulator from them last winter and just the other day, I received an email from them about a visual inspection recall issued by Apeks. Naturally...

When we booked our flight a couple of weeks ago for late October, the direct flight to Cancun from NYC was almost half the price than the 1 stop flight to Cozumel. Needless to say, we are flying into Cancun.

Ok, I just watched Fool's Gold and I must say it's a skipper as far as diving sequences are concerned. Not much diving going on and the movie itself is not that great.

I rented a truck in Bonaire on two separate trips with Bonaire Car Rental AB. Both times I declined their insurance and used my Amex coverage. I never had a problem but I also never had a claim. I did quite a lot of research before doing so and it seemed like the way to go. Just make sure you...

I bought two Vypers from LP and I have not had any issues with them. LP will match Suunto's warranty.

The answer is no. For example, the user can change the battery on the Vyper, the computer I suggested. I am not sure how difficult it is to do since I have yet to change it. From what I hear, the battery can last for a very long time. I took the Rescue course this past winter in Bonaire and my...

I would sincerely hope so! While I have no experience with other computers, I bought my Suunto Vyper at LP a year and a half ago and I dived 60 times with it. I've never had a problem and while I wasn't planning to dive Nitrox when I bought it, I figured I might as well have the feature. Sure...

Suunto Vyper: $359.95 at Leisure Pro. It has all the feature you want at a great price.

My wife and I dove with Olympus Dive Center in Morehead City last August and we had a great time. Since it was our first time diving at those depths with Nitrox, Olympus arranged for a DM to accompany us at our request. While the diving is great, it's also a little pricey. $125 for a two tank...

Favorite: Bonaire. I also dived in Barbados, Jamaica, North Carolina, and Roatan.

I am aware of that. The idea is to charge such damages to the card that was used to rent the car, the one that provides the full coverage, and then ask for a refund once in the US. That's what I have been doing for years, including in Bonaire. While I've never had a claim to test this system...

My wife and I will be in Cozumel around the same time. Have you thought about Bonaire? American will take you there and the island is outside of the hurricane belt. Bonaire is not a party island and the diving is great. We used our AA miles to go there last March.

Ok. How about buying liability insurance but declining full coverage and use the credit card coverage for that? Would that work? That solves the problem then, since I only have 3mm and 7mm. It seems like what donnad did (renting a shortie) is the way to go for me. I've read your thread...

That's the keyword, afford. I just found a great deal for a 7mm Henderson suit at Scuba Toys which is hard to pass. I understand your point, but I guess I'll have to tie the full suit to my waist until I'm ready to don the gear. Also, the last thing I want to do is to travel with two suits. If...

This sounds like a very good plan. Did you feel like you had enough time to do both or was it a rush? At what time did you leave/return? Which Cenote site did you dive?

I am tempted to do just that but with so many places to dive, who knows when we'll be back. We did the same when we went to Roatan last year and so far we haven't gone back. I guess we'll see once we get there. Having the afternoons off will give us some time to tour the island but I'm not sure...

I meant major credit card. This is good to know. I've always thought it better to waive the local insurance because it's more of a hassle in case of a legal dispute once back in the US. For example, I've always declined the local insurance and opted for the Amex coverage while in Bonaire. While...
