I do wonder if that is the right approach. Why if is gets worse? What if this is the final window? I'm torn between taking a break and continue to go.

The problem is the taxis are getting crazy fares from cruisers and now its trickling into every other fair because why not?

I've never seen anyone ever ask to go to high current sites. And even if you do, it could be calm. Hell, the whole week could be calm. I am not sure asking for high current sites is a reasonable request similar to saying I want to see a turtle on every dive. You would get laughed at if...

I just thought I would share that I found a 30km GFNY Cozumel route on Rouvy. It is crazy flat. The first third appears to be the bike lane next to the road South from town towards the AIs. Then you pass Miami Bar at the South then follow the East coast back to the North. The back half is...

$5 marine fee is nothing compared to the $30 taxi faire the cruisers pay to get to the snorkel boat.

Has anyone read about a weather pattern that is birthing all these storms? Is it a cyclical pattern or the new normal? I was on a live aboard in Belize in 2018 when Hurricane Michael basically formed right on top of us. Fortunately it was the last day. I like making a trip in Oct but this...

Why are we finger pointing at stationary dive boat for getting run over by a catamaran? Better questions to ask would be where is the captain located on the catamaran? Can they see what is in front of them? How many deck hands are there on the catamaran? What did the catamaran do to avoid...

Wow. And we all think a SMB means we are safe. How many of us are mentally prepared to be down 15 feet with 10 seconds notice while floating on surface?

I have a trilobite and a pair of trauma sheers on my belt. People snicker at me all the time. There are lots of things floating in the ocean. This stuff is trivial to carry. In fact, I use the trilo to tuck in my extra belt slack so it has a function on every dive. I'll never...

I was just there, had a great time. But I forgot a couple favorite shirts. I'm looking for someone to get them back to the states and ship to me. These are super lightweight Hawaiians. They will probably both fit in an easy to ship envelope. I'll refund shipping.

The sand lives! Its a bit breezy but the seas are angry.

im here now. The pool is drained and all the furniture is locked down. The ocean is pretty calm. That freak storm we hit this morning only lasted an hour. I walked into town and back completely dry.

We got on the boat to calm seas planning to head to Maricabo. By Chakunab we were rethinking everything and called it a few minutes later. We barely made it to marina south of town, sorry forget name, then taxied to town. Now its Sunny and calm.

I am here now. Weather is decent and its dead. Please stay home!:D

I feel like I would be doing a disservice by not pointing out everyone should be carrying a SMB in case you get separated from your group. A whistle and a flash light in case of dark would be good idea too.

Thanks for the tips on biking. I had assumed to ride in the road but wanted to make sure there was not an expectation to be on the sidewalks.

Awesome. I had already planned to bring my lights so thats a good tip to share. Do you recommend riding on sidewalk or in the road?

Thanks all for the comments. I switched my reservation to Villas. Ironically, I am an avid cyclist so ~1 mile ride into town is almost a selling point. Plus I love a resort feel so I am excited. Where is a good place for pastries/donuts/breakfast breads? I'll load up on the first day and...

Dave, thank you. Quick last question. There is a pool right? I swear I've heard people say the pool is deep enough for the confined OW classes but the website doesn't mention (or I am blind). Casa Mexican has breakfast but no pool...

So what you are saying is go into town and get a bunch of pastries 2-3 times during the week at the supermarket. Is there a preference? What about coffee? And walk to La Choza for dinner, etc. How do I get a margarita back from Thirsty Cougar to drink at the pool?
