Awesome pics! We were there about a week after you. We flew into Cancun and dove up and down the Riviera Maya in Mexico and then ventured across into Corozal to catch the flight to San Pedro. I would highly recommend anyone visiting the Yucatan to check out Belize while you are so close. It...

3 Days and a wake up

Hi Verona, Yup, diving the cenotes is an awesome experience. The idea of going into such a narrow hole in the ground and then diving can be intimidating at first and cenote diving is not for everyone but once you are there and do it, you realize its not that bad. In fact, everyone I have...

Sy, YOU are responsible for planning your dive and diving your plan. An idea would be for you to stop by the dive shop of your choice the afternoon of the day you arrive in town or the day before you want to dive. That gives you an opportunity to discuss the site they will be visiting as they...

Going by Mexcan money we use the color codes. If I remember correctly (each time I was there was early AM before most toursits showed up) it was just slightly more than a pink thing and way less than a red thing:) In US Money that was about $5-$7. A tip for you... There is a small but...

I have both an E-10 and a 5050. I don't know what batteries everyone is using but I have noticed a few similar errors when my NIMH run low and I change batteries. Especially if I am shooting a lot of stuff quickly or using a lot of juice for the internal flash. Removing and replacing...

Calvin, We go the same times every year. The temps for Cancun, Isla Mujeres and the Riviera Maya in late April / early May were 82-84. I wore a 3/2 full, my dive buddy had a tshirt and swim trunks (he is also bald and no hood). I was comfortable to warm, but i liked the idea of protection...

Calvin, We arrive in Cancun the last Thursday in April (29) and staying through the first week of May. We use Cancun as our base and do a lot of smaller trips. We are headed to Belize but it will be in the first fwe days of May. We'll be taking the bus to Chetumal and then a quick ride over...

In an attempt to be cautious on how I say this. . . Aquaworld is the biggest operation in Cancun. Period. They also have the biggest volume of customers. They move a large amount of people through their doors. Do they pay enough attention to you? That has been debated both on this board and...

Hey Class Action. If you didn't buy the Henderson you may also want to take a look at BARE. They have a very reasonably priced 7mm similar to the hyperstretch. I considered Henderson but opted for BARE when I bought my 3mm full suit. Two years later I am still very happy with it. I too am...

Here is an update from the park after I responded to their wild goose chase: Scuba Diving is permitted at Island Beach State Park which is located in Seaside Park. Give the office staff there a call at 732-793-0506 as you need to register with the park office. From the information I found...

Icetime - What are your travel dates. 2-3 divers and 1 non diver - we will be flying into Cancun late April and wandering throughout the Yucatan and Belize for a week or so. If you want to join us drop me a PM

Will be in the area late April into early May. Flying into Cancun, diving at Isla Mujeres, Cancun, Dos Ojos on the way to Belize and Coz on the way back into Mexico. Drop me a PM and we can talk more. Bill

Actually, I talked with Manta befiore my last trip (5 months ago) and they were very responsive. They're a good shop, just a little pricey.

Solo Buceo is a small family operation. They only have a few employees. I have written to them on several occasions and on each they recommended I contact other area dive shops. They specialize in DSD and OW courses focusing on NEW divers. They do have some "set" tours and classes...

I got a reply from Michele Stelle Park who said they have no information about scuba diving there, no idea of what the depths, currents, water temperatures, facilities, nor known hazards are. She went on to advise me to contact the Barnegat Lighthouse Park who should have that info. I called...

I sent an email over to the park asking what the depths, temperatures, currents, facilities, etc are like. I will post something if I get an answer.

You overlooked the possibility of using the car engine's vacuum line to suction :)

Hi Sealab. First off welcome! I will be passing through Xcalak the end of next month. If I have a chance I will try and scope out the hotel for you. Drop me a PM sometime in mid to late April as a reminder and I will be happy to see if I can help. Maybe pop off a photo or two

We had a problem with a Deep Outdoors gear bag we purchased. Things happen. About a month or so after the purchase I tried to speak with them regarding the problem at the Beneath the Sea Expo and they couldn't be bothered with me. They wouldn't give me the time of day. They wanted nothing to...
