Thank you for sharing. Love the IVS Invades Bonaire one. Since you asked for critiques (and keep in mind I have no qualification whatsoever to do so, just personal taste and judgment), here is my opinion. I think that the Bonaire one is by far the most achieved out of the three. I like that it...

Ron, did you create that webpage ? If so, THANK YOU. It is so helpful, used it the first time I decided to take the ADO from the airport and have sent the link to it to several people.

I don't know whether that accident was caused by CO poisoning or suffocation or both or anything else and quite frankly, I don't care. What I do know is that you've been arguing in this thread that there was no reason not to believe a newsreport, and then when you quote one, you quite...

Funny how you didn't quote the rest of the article: "De acuerdo con las declaraciones de sus amigos, sólo se percataron que su compañero empezó a pedir auxilio al ver que le faltaba oxígeno, acto seguido procedieron a apoyarlo pero fue en vano, ya que estaban a varios metros de profundidad...

Cozumel doesn't see as many young travellers (at least if you limit yourself to actual DOB) as places such as Playa del Carmen or Isla Mujeres. Still lots of fun to be had if you don't expect crazy parties and don't mind hanging out with an older (again, only referring to DOB) crowd. I've...

FYI, I never said / intended to "rank and rate" dive ops and don't see where anyone supported such an idea in this thread. And no, it doesn't take "a few minutes" to research, choose and book a dive trip on Cozumel, unless you already know what the different options are. Again, to be...

I don't think that's what Christi meant at all. Nothing shady about her (I've met her personnally and she is a well-respected professional on the island). Her regular prices are disclosed on her website, nothing hidden there, I think the issue here is more about not feeling comfortable with a...

The point is neither to do a cost-comparative list (impossible as prices and offers vary depending on season, special deals… and IMO not the smartest way to pick a dive op) nor yet another cheerleading thread (plenty of those around) filled with love but too often useless in terms of actual...

Actually I do understand. Have been trying to fill out my own form for Aldora and realized doing so how much I didn't know (exact prices, size and number of boats, etc.). So started looking it up on their website all the while thinking that info might become obsolete (especially costs). Still...

A couple of years ago, I started a thread listing links to dive op reviews and trip reports hoping it would help newcomers choose an shop depending on their needs. That thread is now buried somewhere in the depth of this lively subforum, and probably outdated, so I figured I'd start a new one...

I know, Christi, that's why I asked if someone here has had first hand experience with them. The lady I'm trying to help wants an AI with good food (which I believe Playa Azul has, correct me if I'm wrong) and good snorkeling from shore (for her non-diving, prone to sea-sickness husband)...

Anyone ever dove with ProDive (resident dive op at Playa Azul) ? Someone from a French forum asked me if I knew anything about them today, which I don't.

By marine park regulations, you have to dive with a DM in the Marine park. If the reason for solo diving is so you can dive your own profile (stop as long as you want to take a picture) and make sure you don't have other divers in the background, then not an issue, just hire a private DM and...

It really depends on what interests you. I don't care much for ruins, touristy sites and museums in general, prefer popular culture. If the weather is not too hot, I like walking in the neighborhoods to look for architectural details, see how houses are designed, look at the gardens… Any...

Dove the East side once two years ago, and I'm not the most advanced diver out there. Then again, we went to shallow sites (Ha'nan and Canones) and water was flat as a mirror on the East side that day. Other sites and different sea conditions would have other requirements. "Perfect" conditions...

Almost forgot the most typical regional dish : cochinita pibil. Usually sold Sunday mornings and served sandwich style. I heard there was only one place on the island that cooks it the traditionnal way (in banana leaves in the ground, if I recall correctly), but I don't know where it is. Look...

Here are some of my personal favorites. FOR BREAKFAST : • Try to have breakfast at least once at the Museum. Amazing ocean view and good dishes. Ask for the Spanish menu, as it has more options. My favorite there is huevos venenosos, an omelet with different herbs and chaya, aka the Mexican...

GUE ? Is that the guys with the long hoses ? It happened to at least one of our presidents : Félix Faure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Padi says you have to do it right if you go down… :)

Playa Casitas is located on Melgar (beachfront avenue), almost across the street from the small Sedena supermarket. When you go from town to Playa Azul, you see three palapas on the beach right after the airport road (Antonio Gonzales Fernandez on Google map). You can locate it using these...
