I looked into that. At least in off-season it was cheaper to stay at Key West Inn booked thru Rainbow Reef than to stay in Homestead because of the "Resort Fee" that Super 8 tacked on.

Saw that on FB. Too funny!

Thanks for posting this MariGrow. I'll be a newbie to Coz in September and after initial research I am leaning towards staying at Hotel Barracuda and diving Dive Paradise. My reasoning is: - I want an ocean view and a balcony - 5 blocks from the main plaza (downtown I take it). Wouldn't mind an...

Ha! My own alternate air source was leaking as we prepared to dive the Blue Hole. DM disconnected it and said "Don't worry about it". So I didn't and had a fantastic dive! :)

Thanks for all your great replies. One last thing: I'm assuming that a PADI referral instructor will be easy to find on Cozumel. We she (or they) complete the OW course will they receive a PADI card in español and should they bring a picture or anything else other than the referral? Edit: Yes...

Thank you all for the wealth of great information. PM replied cvchief - thank you.

So, Southwest just started flying into Cancun and I and a couple of buddies have Florida (Key Largo) tickets that we can exchange for a presumably better experience in Sept 2017. I am a diver and my buddy and his wife will be getting a PADI referral for OW training (well at least one of them...

From my experience, most/all dive operators in FLA require AOW for the deep wreck dives (Spiegel, Duane and Bibb). Night dives are OK with OW and long as the stated last dive is within 12 months. Reef dives are OK with OW and long as the stated last dive is within 24 months. They didn't check my...

Why is that? Makes me happy to see this as I just spent big $$ to upgrade my Suunto Lux S to Oceanic's Pro Plus 3.

More fish in Key Largo from what I observed. Belize's saving grace is the triple-dip dives that come with the Blue Hole trip.

Disregard. Purchased the Oceanic Pro Plus 3 and traded the Suunto in.

Can anybody help me? I am looking for the Suunto Lux S (aka Fusion) battery compartment O Ring. Have plenty of batteries. In the absence of finding an O ring is it fairly safe to silicone grease the old one and re-use it for 5 or 6 times?

I purchased the Comfobite today. Got the small size - $13.95 installed at the LDS (they had some zip-tie puller/cutter tool that they used). My dentist says I have a small mouth - it is night and day compared to what came with the Scubapro S600. $14 bucks well spent.

So I was thinking about getting regulator bag just today and came across this thread. Thinking I should get something to protect the regulator (and dive light) when they get thrown into the nylon mesh backpack to carry to the dive boat and back. Reasons? 1) Just had my 6 year old regulator...

I'm hoping for 82F come June 1 so just swim trunks.

So I am AOW with 120+ dives but I haven't dove in 4+ years. I am having my equipment overhauled so I'd like to pool-test it before flying across the country and jumping in the ocean. I have signed up for a PADI refresher course (there is an alternative that I am comfortable with but I won't...

Stayed there many a time. As previously noted furnishings are outdated (i.e old). That said I love the full size fridge, kitchen range and oven. I bring my own high-end fry pan, spatula, and seasonings (salt, pepper, flour, etc.) and have a menu planned out breforehand. Kitchen pots and pans...

I have a friend who once said "Do you want to die with the bank owing you money or with you owing the bank money?".

I would assume so as Ocean Divers across the way states on their website that a recent dive within 24 months is required or a refresher course you'll have to take. RR asked me when my last dive was when I booked; it was 20 months ago and there was no problem. If I haven't dove within 6 months...
