Dave, We do 4-6 a year to Cozumel. At least 10 day trips if not a couple weeks. I haven't gone out with your shop, yet, but hear good things. Maybe in December when we're down again.

If you're concerned then you can get micro drops in the produce section to wash your produce in. Been down there a bunch and only got a little ill once when I was eating lots off the street carts. Couldn't help myself:D

Wife and I will be there Dec 8-23, stay at our place and dive with Blue Angel. Would be cool to meet lots of new folks from the board.

This is easy in Cozumel. You can get an inexpensive place to stay like the Blue Angel or Barracuda which are ocean front and have dive ops, or you can stay even cheaper at smaller hotels off the beach with no dive ops and find your own folks to dive with. On the boats you'll either get hooked up...

Do: dive a lot, smile a lot, get off Melgar and go into town Don't: get on a scooter, be impatient, be cheap

I'd pick the Blue Angel. SMall hotel, ocean views, good food, nice people working there, nice small boats, pool, decent shore dives right there, especially at night, easy walk into town if you want or a cheap cab ride. I also like Blue XTSea to dive with, and Aldora is a good op too. We have a...

I think the most dangerous thing you face in Cozumel are scooters. Don't get on one and you should be fine.

Tell your friend I'm not diving with him and you ought to look for another buddy:)

Tacoma Scuba Center in Tacoma sells a full line of BARE drysuits and they have very fair prices on all of them. They guys that own the store wont sell you something you don't need and will also rent them to you to try out. No, I don't work for them:)

Good topic and one that generates lots of conversations where I'm at. I don't think the shop owner should be treating a potential customer like that. Even though you got the gear online, you still may decide to take classes in his shop, have gear serviced, or buy other equipment. The way I see...

I've got an IQ 700 and the display suddenly went blank on it. Tried new batter, nothing. You can see the number if you view at an angle but not straight on. Any ideas on a fix would be most appreciated.

I've got a D6 that I've been diving for a couple of years now and the only reason I would go to another brand is if someone gave me one to dive. The local shop that I work out of doesn't sell Bare (which I consider a serious error on their part) but that is what I now dive. The only thing that...

My wife and I booked with Christi on our last trip there and her crew was awesome. I booked based on reviews from this site and I wasn't a bit dissapointed. We are planning on diving there sometime in 2009 and will book with Blue XTSea again. I even gave them a great rewview in the Divers Chapbook!

Interesting topic. I just finished an OW course where I was a co-instructor. The other instructor placed mask on head backwards, because that's how some people like to where it, and quickly lost it. I went down and found it, gave it back, along with a jab about how much one of those things...

You've got PADI standards at your disposal for this. As suggested, I would talk with your instructor, ask him to show you the standards as well as the checklist that needs to be filled out and see where you are on the checklist. If you've done everything and been checked off for it and he's...

OK, I know that you don't go to Coz to shore dive, however, if you were going to be there and had a couple of novice divers with you that wanted to dive off the beach in addition to the boats, what spots might you recommend? I've stayed at the Barracuda, but actually didn't shore dive there...

Nice site and of course, excellent pictures!

Hey all! Anybody have any info or leads/websites/etc for Punta Gruesa down the Yucatan? curious about the quality of diving, reefs, operators, places to stay, etc. Cheers, Tom

Congratulations! I'm very happy for you and hope to follow soon:) TC

Hey Narcosis, I hope its going smooth for you. I'm glad to find this post and all the advice. I'm starting my AI in a few weeks and its set up to do over the course of about 8 weeks, just part-time. Like one of the others who responded, its been a while since I took the DM exams and I...
