    Dive Instructors

    I don't suppose in your corporate life, you are a diesel mechanic or a boat captain?

    Costa Rica Divers BEWARE of Rich Coast Diving

    Sorry, but I laughed when I read this and had to respond. I'm curious, do you have a back-up motor for your car? How about a back-up battery? I'm starting to think you have some unrealistic expectations about dive boats. I have only been on one dive boat that had a back-up motor, and that...

    Dive Master Fins?

    Full foot fins are usually cheaper in the long run, and most DM's don't make a lot of money. Just something else to think about.

    Ocotal v. Rich Coast Diving?

    Saying someone joined just to rebut what you have said is strange when you yourself only have 26 posts. I could say you joined just to slam Rich Coast Diving. I dove with them before the change in ownership. I hope that it hasn't changed as much as your post indicates. Please don't get...

    Cozumel Update

    Went there the end of Feb/first of Mar. Carnival was going on, and now Coz is a yearly destination for Carnival. Definately not the best diving I have done, but definately the best party! I will be back every year for that! And, the diving was better than Kansas!

    Costa Rica Divers BEWARE of Rich Coast Diving

    Sounds to me like it was just a bad day, as Doc said sometimes the stars just line up. I dove with Rich Coast before the current owners took over, and had a few issues, but nothing that I really cared about. Maybe it has changed a lot, but I can't imagine that it has. I know where the dive...

    Costa Rica Montezuma area

    I went to "the other shore" last year. I went to Playa del Coco, and I have to say it was a blast. There was so much wildlife, it more than made up for the so-so vis. I couldn't find any good information on the Carribean side, but have heard that it is lackluster at best. Sorry I couldn't...

    Flight Prices?

    Yeah, they do that all the time. I got flights to Costa Rica last year for $300 before taxes, and when a friend bought his fiance a ticket about a month before we left, her ticket was $800 before taxes. I usually find a cheap flight, and then do my vacation around that. You should set up an...

    Can you see ghosts?

    When I was younger, I thought I saw all kinds of dead people...it was explained to me those were just people over 40 :)

    Ask A Cop!!! Post Your Questions Here!

    LOL While I've never been OC-sprayed, I have been shot. I think I would have rather been sprayed, I don't think there are many instances of death form OC spray are out there. That was the worst part, not knowing how bad the wound was, there was definately a shock factor involved.

    What is your opinion of this?

    Until he gives up his worldly possesions, and starts walking on water, I won't be listening to him...in fact I've never listened to him. I think anyone who says someone deserves a stroke, or brought it upon themselves, deserves a far worse fate.
