Silex, you may not have paid very close attention to what you read. It was the father of the guy in jail that was videotaped entering the ferry with another person carrying a backpack. When the ferry got to Playa, the father rushed away from the ferry and the guy with the backpack exited the...

I copied the following 4 paragraphs from a blog. Link to the full blog article is below the paragraphs. "Since all of the incidents involve the same company, the investigation has focused heavily on Barcos Caribe and one of the owners, Roberto Borge Martín. He is the father of the former...

On the chance that you're not joking Norrm, it sounds like you didn't understand what happened. The gas on his back when he did the dive was air. His computer was set for nitrox, 32% as he stated. So, when he went below 112 feet, his computer set off the alarm to alert him that he'd gone...

The dive op I use, Deep Blue, takes DSD divers on a shore dive first. After that the diver can do boat dives, with an instructor of course. I think this is true of many if not most shops on the island. First dive will be from the shore. Whichever shops you contact, tell them exactly what...

I've done a week or so diving with Blue Magic, many years ago when they were under different ownership, etc. I've done a lot of diving with Deep Blue over the years. Both would be fine choices. I don't have any experience with Eco Divers, but would expect they'd do a good job. The important...

I don't know that I'd call it hesitation, it's that I want my gear and handling the neoprene is a breeze. Between the dock and my room, there are 3 separate places I can rinse gear. I have a balcony with pegs for hanging stuff. I can see why there are those that want the service. It makes...

I want my gear for shore diving and there are lockers and rinsing facilities on the dock where I stay so it's convenient. My schlepping amounts to a mesh bag holding camera gear, dry bag, dry box and a little bit of neoprene which I can rinse on the dock or in my room easily. If I were staying...

It really depends on where you're staying. Where I stay, I can rinse it in several places. Personally, I take it off as soon as the dive is over. The quicker you get it off, the quicker you dry, the quicker you warm up. Some shops will take your wetsuit, rinse it and dry it. That's a...

On Blue Angel's website, they show 8am, 10am and 11am two tank trips. 11am is not in bold. Don't know if that makes a difference. A 10am two tank should get you back by 2pmish. DIVING – Blue Angel Resort

I've never stayed at Blue Angel but I know people that have. Something in your post does sound like BA would be a good fit. As money isn't a huge factor, taking a taxi in to town for supper won't be a budget breaker. It's walkable to/from town, but after diving all day, that isn't appealing...

Except for the room price, I think the Barracuda sounds the closest to matching your list. You could dive with anyone that leaves from downtown. I suspect that all of what you're looking for, mostly due to price, doesn't exist. For the record, from Suites Colonial, you'd be about a block west...

If it's the same Eduardo that did my resort dive 14 years ago, another vote for him. Amazing example of great instruction.

I've used a Sealife DC 500, a DC1000. Both of those really want the strobe. And therein lies a good question. Are you willing to shoot without a strobe? If you are, that'll really lighten your load.

Took a look and found that the website is down. Facebook is going though. Village Tan Kah At either Blue Angel or Village Tan Kah (Scuba Shack), I think Tres Pelicanos will pick you up on land and take you to the marina to board the boat, though they might just whip around the cruise ships to...

Staying where I think you stay (Village Tan Kah?) and diving with Scuba Shack has to be some of the easiest diving on Cozumel. I keep threatening myself to stay there, but I'm a tv baby. You have, what, two curbs to step down and two to step up? Imo, that's a gem of a place and a dive op...

You can rent tanks at Casa del Mar, Scuba Shack (just to the south) or Tikila, (on the south side of the Casa del Mar dive shop and lockers). I think Tikila has some kind of dive concession there now, but I could be wrong. We usually get tanks from Scuba Shack, get in there, go out to the...

I stayed at Ramon's Village on Ambergris and dove with them. I really liked the diving, though we got blown out a couple of days. Got to dive with a pod of dolphins who played with us for about 15 minutes. I liked all the different restaurants on Ambergris and I like the feeling of a smaller...

It's on there next to Blue Angel. CDM owns the pier, I think. Del Mar Aquatics used to be the dive concession, but now it might be Dive Palancar and, oh, I forget. It's been a few years, but I was never charged either. I remember when I couldn't even rent a locker, but that changed years ago.

It depends on when the dive op you choose leaves and if you do morning dives or afternoon dives. The ferry takes about 45 minutes to cross and a 2 tank trip takes about 4.5 hours. I don't know when the ferries start in the morning, but they run until pretty late at night such that even if you...

For the years I've been diving with Deep Blue, anyhow, the op will be put on the "easy" boat for the first trip to size them up and after that, if they're doing OK and want to go on the "advanced" boat, they should be able to do that. I've done many, many 4 tank days with Deep Blue. They drop...
