Knock wood, it hasn't happened to me in a long time but a few years ago I remember being out in the sun and the mineral enriched waters of the cenotes seemed to have medicinal powers and did wonders for the sunburn. Took the heat right out!

Thanks a lot OTTER! We love the area so much that we go 2-3 times every year. Even though we go back the end of next month watching the video clip you shot made us even more impatient! Now I'll probably spend the rest of the afternoon surfing pictures from the last trip:) Seriously though...

I do the last week of April into the first week of May. High school & college finals are taking place so the area is still quiet, wether is nice and I believe May 4 is the ideal time for whale shark sightings between Yucatan and Belize. Full moon to 3 days afterwards. Anyway, if your looking...

Soggy, check out Manchones Reef between Cancun and Isla Mujeres. Easy dive, shallow allows more bottom time to see the pretty fish. If travelling to Isla Mujeres look up Coral Scuba - they have dozens of more dive sites not listed on their website. http://www.coralscubadivecenter.com/...

Responding to your note about cenotes - www.hiddenworlds.com.mx is the website for Dos Ojos. Great dive op. Contact them to see which Cancun Dive Ops travel to their facility. An all day 2T cenote dive from Cancun was running $125-$140 including the dives, transportation and a box lunch.

I don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but late May, kids ARE out of school in certain parts of the country. Especially those in the farming areas. I have been in Cancun and Playa and there were many high school and college age students out of school. If I remember correctly (not that...

I found a high turnover rate of personnel at dive ops in Cancun. Especially at the larger shops. There is also a lot of freelance work going on. I can recommend a few freelance instructors (Message me if you want that info) but if you are looking for an actual dive op . . . Aquaworld is...

I work evenings and some weekend nights. So taking classes locally can be difficult. When I travel it is usually somewhere with sand and palm trees. With not having any committments, taking a class while away works for me. It might not be right for everyone but that's the way I went...

I know you are just in the beginning stage of your diving career. Your instructor should have or most likely will tell you a little about Divers Alert Network (DAN). Here is a link that you can follow and you can surf their site to see what they are all about. And while doing so, in the top...

Here's a shop you can give a try: Florida West Scuba School 509 B. North Tamiami Trail Venice, FL 34292 941-486-1400 They are PADI & SSI

I guess it varies from person to person. But we did not experience problems during any of our dives at Dos Ojos and we were there a few times during several different times of year. (I also have adequate insulation!) The temperature usually runs about 75F degrees. I wear a 3/2 full and my dive...

I apologize for yet another post. I promise this will be the last. But this sort of behavior really irked me. The more I read the posts the more I can sympathize and feel your frustration. I had a problem with my LDS that I now drive clear across the state to a very accommodating shop to...

I agree with the others. Regardless of how this turns out I would definitely contact SSI and let them know how this shop does business. If they get enough people complaining about their business practices maybe they will see a need to talk with them.

Request loaner or rental equipment. If denied, I would show up for the class and force their hand. They'll either have to cave in and work out an arrangement or deny you access to the class making it more clearcut for a small claims case. Also, correct me if I am wrong, but don't SSI...

Did my rescue diver in Cancun. My instructor recently transferred to a location in Cozumel. Message me if you are interested and I can give you her info.

Hi. There is a lot of diving to be had around Isla Mujeres. We have never used Sea Hawk so we do not want to comment on them one way or another. We can however recommend Coral Scuba Dive Center. They go the extra mile to make you feel at ease, they are very professional and safety conscious...

"I personally would rather pay the extra $50-$75 more per person and fly American or Delta to Cancun and get 70lb PER bag." If it were only $50-$75 fine. But its not. Right now USA3000 is at $369 R/T and Continental as of yesterday was still hovering around $600. American too was in the...

From USA3000 Webiste: On an Apple Vacations charter USA3000 Airlines baggage allowance is limited to two bags weighing no more than 50 pounds total together. Passengers are urged to consult with their tour operator to determine the extent of liability coverage before they travel. USA3000...

Allen42. There a few viewers on this board that put down Cancun. That may be because they haven't been there, or if they have, maybe they had a bad experience or it could simply be a lifestyle issue where Cozumel is more their speed. They may also get the wrong impression where they think...

When are you travelling to Cancun? We go late April/early May and again late October/early November every year. If you want to PM me I can give you more about sites and ops.
