    Benches for the boat

    These benches are the way to go. http://www.pontoonstuff.com/forum/pontoon-forum/2313-10-replay-146-87-part.asp?PN=2 Scott is absolutely correct about the Trex or "plastic" wood. I would not use it in a structural application. I am rebuilding a boat for diving as well and used it on the front...

    Booking Today/Tomorrow, but which hotel?

    To add more confusion we were in this same situation a few weeks ago and decided to go with Casa Del Mar. It was the best value that provided what our group of divers & non-divers needed. They have a man-made beach at the hotel but included is use of Nochi-Cocom?? beach club which is supposed to...

    Map of Cozumel in Google Earth

    I found that by typing in the resort I wanted and removing all the labels in the options box I was able to find the resort I was looking for (Casa Del Mar). I did notice, however, that the current pictures on there of Cozumel have alot of cloud cover so you may not be able to see what you want...

    Snorkeling

    I don't recommend the Fury Catamaran snorkeling. We booked it once thru a cruise tour and it was more like an apple cart than a cattle boat. Even cows have more room than we had on there. We didn't snorkel long and saw few fish. This was before Wilma too if I am not mistaken. We went to Chakanab...

    A few ScubaClub questions

    When we were there last year a one night boat dive was included in the 5 day package. We enjoyed our afternoon shore dive there although not as much as the boat dives. The waves crashing on the rocks from below are an awesome site we tried to capture but our camera is not that good. If you have...

    1st timer to Coz - any advice?

    We went there with less than 20 dives and these were our son's first ocean dives. We did a shore dive the afternoon before our first boat dives and had no issues at all with drift diving. We went to 80' and our DM quickly made us go up. With the clear water 50 or 60' does not seem deep and in...

    Restaurants

    The food at SCC is good inspite of what you may hear, especially the fiesta night. If you are getting all inclusive eat there for most of your meals since you are paying for it anyway. They offer a menu and special each day. There is a link at the top of this forum for Christi's choices which...

    First trip to Cozumel Diving any tips

    He is talking about the cenote diving across the pond on the mainland (there may be one on the island I think). I have never dove in one but basically they are like a big well. The ones I saw were like a big pond on the surface but are connected to an underground river system. From what I have...

Im sure the charges were more than at home but not enough to notice on our bill. We did not use the phone alot maybe just to...

    Hotel near town

    Stortecky- We stayed at Scuba Club Cozumel and it is a great dive/hotel package that is close to town. It is an easy walk to Chedraui and town as well. How was Casa Del Mar? We have booked there in June because we have several non-divers who would be bored at Scuba Club with no TV's, etc. Have...

    VillaBlanca

    Hey Smokey. Are all the beds (King & twins) in the same room or do they have two seperate bedrooms. I was looking for pictures of the rooms but they were unclear. Also is there a cooktop in the kitchenette? Thanks

    VillaBlanca

    Well we are booked for Casa Del Mar arriving on 6-2-08. We got the cabana rooms. Total cost for airfare and hotel was $622 per person for 7 nights. We booked direct with airlines/hotel because we could not find any better rates. We could have gotten cheaper rates for a standard ocean view room...

    VillaBlanca

    Well I did the democratic thing and emailed everyone the websites for Hotel Cozumel, Fiesta and Casa Del Mar telling them they were all close on price and approximate location, etc. We voted and everyone voted for Casa Del Mar first. Looks like we are going to try to book it and get a cabana if...
