Nice post.

Thanks for the link. Environmentalists tried to stop the rigs from being installed in the first place. Now that obsolete rigs are being removed they want to stop that as well. And environmentalists had the law written to require the rigs to be removed when they were finished with them instead of...

I agree 100%. I've been to all three places too and you probably won't have time to get to the good stuff in Belize if your ship docks in Belize city. You probably do have time to snorkel in Belize, however, and it's quite nice to snorkel the Belize barrier reef.

Thanks. First time there on a Friday and it was deserted. I got there at 10am when they just opened and I was one of four people there until I left around 3:30pm. Really nice to have the whole thing to yourself after waiting four days for the silt to settle out. At 20-30 feet it's the best vis I...

As of May 25th the vis at CSSP is still pretty amazing. 2012 CSSP May 25th - a set on Flickr

Ok so how many hot dogs does it take to make the perch happy?

I was there Saturday and I too noted it was the best vis I ever saw there. Could it be related to the mild Winter?

I'm up for some local mud hole dives. I've finally learned to appreciate murk.

Isla Mujeres in the Summer is really easy to get to.

They just announced it's open again but will be closing again May 14-21 for cleaning. Link.

I did seven tanks with them July 2011. I don't think they were doing rigid timed dives by default. They did try to split up groups based skills and experience but you never know who is showing up on the boat on any given day and they will take anyone who can pay including Discover SCUBA divers...

You must mean this: I took this photo May 21, 2011. I just blundered into it I would have no idea how to find it again.

Thanks for the great trip report, billindenver. I gave it five stars. Glad you had fun.

I didn't partake in the spearfishing myself but I did dive with Squalo Adventures on Isla Mujeres last Summer. I was surprised when I found myself diving with a father and son that were spearfishing. And they really were bagging some fish and lobsters. I went to IM to see whale sharks. If I knew...

Yep. Between peak oil, threat of war, declining purchasing power of the US dollar, and oil speculators the price of oil is going up. Add in local airline monopolies gouging customers and the price of tickets are going up. And to top it off you get crammed into a tiny seat after enduring the TSA...
