I left T.P. a voicemail yesterday but haven't heard back. Christi from Blue XT~Sea has already emailed me details and quotes. Haven't chosen one yet. Good to know, thanks James. I've decided to do 6 days in Coz. 4 days of diving and 1 day to visit the Coba Ruins. Then 3 days in I.M., one...

Agree, worth the read and translation. I had to read SB member posts here to clarify some of it obviously. It's such a sad story, and yes high risk they took, but you can't turn back time, only learn from others. Especially take heed of divers' risky mistakes and how you want to calculate...

A ton of useful real info Strey, Mike, and Dan, thank you. Not skipping WhaleSharks, doing three days in Isla Mujeres on the tail end of my trip. For six days in Coz, I've narrowed it down to: Casa Mexicana ($99/ocean-balc or $92/basic) Suites Bahia ($71/balc or $55/basic) Hotel Cozumel &...

Nice, thx guys. Damn, that low?! Shoot, I need to lighten my main bag by 8lbs. then, ugh.

How do you fit fins in a carryon?! They must be shorties, lol. My pack fits easily under the seat, but my regs bag would need to go on top of that so it'll be a squeeze, but doable. I hate having to carry my regs bag separate though, afraid I'll set them down and absent-mind leave them...

Good to know for friends, thanks for sharing. My friends aren't the types to get rowdy though, they're not drunk idiots. Especially on a plane, where you might even get kicked off just for yelling at the noisy demon children next to you who's ****** parents don't keep them under control, lol...

I specifically remember that discrepancy when I was shopping eBags and Amazon for my next hardshell carryon. Seeing that some international carriers were different, thankfully I chose the safest route, a 22" bag, with the nifty TSA-approved lock. Good idea. My last two trips (Florida and...

Awesome tips, thanks Strey! Most of those were on my list, and I'm probably picking one of the nicer ($100) ones. Definitely no A.I. K, will add to my I.M. list, I haven't booked those last 3 days yet. Thanks! Already read about it, and definitely on the list, thx. Because of cost, or other...

Ok @Gerard Bourck and @scubadada, about a month ago I shipped my computer/x-mitter/cable to Oceanic / Huish Outdoors (SLC?), arrived ~ 7/4/18. Took them a month to start testing it, or just had a backlog. I gave them full details of the symptoms when it last worked and failed, etc. They just...

My bad on the math. I'm doing Sunday to Tuesday, flying in/out of Cancun, so I right away took the flying days completely out. They're good for going out to eat, shopping, and beach at most. I was thinking of flying MAYAir to Coz, diving there Mon. to Thu. (with an easy/shallow Thu.), MAYAir...

Will be spending 5 days in Coz and 3 days on Isla Mujeres (for the Whale Shark snorkeling). Most importantly, SHOULD I SKIP ISLA MUJERES, and just spend the entire 10 days on Coz? Then for the last two days do a Mujeres Whale Shark snorkel trip right out of Coz, before flying home? Have spent...

For South Fla. Divers, unfortunately I was the only person interested in their Lady Luck trip tomorrow morn. So I signed up for their afternoon trip to Aqua Zoo. Pompano only had a very deep technical trip.

Hahaa, nice! Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look it up. Oops, sorry. Thanks for moving. Thanks! Awesome! Actually I got my Adv. OW in Key Largo will the Rainbow Reef outfit. They are awesome, and I had a blast. I did the Duane and Spiegel Grove for my "Wreck Diving" elective, what an...

Interesting! Supposed 2week turnaround time, so I'll definitely update you guys, as they update me...

Pay $350 and you can't even bring your own GoPro? That's pretty disappointing. I'm curious what their reasoning is. It makes divers tempted to approach the animals too close? Regardless, travelling to Cancun and Isla Mujeres in a couple of months, so definitely excited for that. @qwimjim ...

Hi SB folks. I know this is last minute, but I'll be staying in Ft. Lauderdale all this week, and would love some suggestions for all time favorite dive sites and dive shops you've done in the wrecks and reefs North of Miami. I'll be staying between F.L. and P.B., with a rental car and all my...

Are you sure about this Craig, or have they changed policy in the last few weeks? I just worked with Huish Outdoors tech support for Oceanic. They said they are trying to support the Aeris users and are aware of the "transmitter losing connection" problem. Bad news, although it's obviously a...

Thanks Michael, that's pretty much my plan. I've volunteered for over four years now at the Denver Aquarium, every Saturday, so that fulfills a small part of my desire to be in the Marine field. The rest is vacations, incl. dives, etc. I just got back from two weeks in Ecuador, incl. the...

Just a personal opinion, but I agree with your points. Yes my instructor was my buddy, I had a reasonable idea based on time under and past dives of rough amount of air left, keeping dive time under 45mins, etc. I wasn't saying your life depends on it, heh. Just "best practices in safety".
