Good question and I should have elaborated. The Palace gives you $1500 in resort credits for a week stay. That's enough to pay for a week of diving for Ms. Ripple and me. With diving included, the Palace makes financial sense for me, and no doubt others. If I have to pay for diving on top of...

I was down recently. The Aqua Safari divemasters are superb, as usual. The new management is not. Lost reservations, "the customer is always wrong" attitude, and divemasters saying they are unhappy and considering leaving because of management. I love the Palace and I love the AS divemasters...

If you are considering an AI, my vote is for the Palace. If you stay for a week, they give you $1500 in resort credits per room. You can use that to dive with Aqua Safari, at $79 per two tank dive. We did that last year (and are doing it again in a week and a half). I found them to be an...

PM Sent.

I just want to recognize Blue Planet here for good, friendly service, in unfortunate contrast to another shop in the DC Metro area, which shall remain nameless. This weekend I picked up a new regulator on close-out at a great price from "Shop X." This freed up my old regulator, an Aqualung...

But is there something wrong with the 860? Hard to turn it down with the closeout prices.

I feel so. . . validated! :dance3::dance3::dance3:

Please add me and Ms. Ripple, 7/4 - 7/11, Cozumel Palace, Aqua Safari. :D Thanks!

Mmmm. . . Whale shark and manta ray soup. :drooling::drooling::drooling:

Hah! So far, we are scheduled for two twilight dives with Aldora, so there will be at least a couple of hours to off-gas on those days. There may be some nitrox in there too!

Thanks, quick correction though: Still Aqua Safari for morning dives, Aldora for afternoon/night dives. Hmmm, leaving in a few days. Must continue to function.

Just an update: We will be doing our additional dives with Aldora.

So as of today, Google tells me that a dollar equals 12.87 pesos. That mean the referenced bank and cambio takes about 10% off the top. Is there anyplace on the island to get something close to the "actual" exchange rate?

Sounds like the perfect girlfriend for any outdoor enthusiast!

Do Aldora's quoted prices include tax?

So this looks like something worth fighting about. :D

RISW, 7/1 to 7/9, staying at the Palace, diving on Palace vouchers with Aqua Safari, additional dives (maybe) with ?

I'll be avoiding this op if I visit Dominica to dive. UPDATE: American student dies off Mero in boat accident | Dominica News Online , Va. Student Killed In Dominica Boating Accident | wusa9.com . It's hard for me to assign this kind of accident to anything but sheer operator negligence.

I got the same e-mail. In most US states, an employee taking an employer's non-public client list to solicit clients for her own business would be liable for theft of trade secrets. Even a part owner who so used a client list upon leaving would likely be liable for breach of fiduciary duties...

We did the shark dive at Stuart Cove a few weeks ago. I thought it was worth doing, although (a) it gets a bit repetitive, and (b) their photographers are really aggressive about getting in your face (wide angle lenses and all that) during the show, which is distracting. They don't try to keep...
