Yes that is true but if he descended 20' to get below the current his air bladder could have decompressed enough I guess. Hard to speculate but I think there were enough boats looking that if he were alert and on the surface he would have been spotted. Two boats were ships with bridges that...

Yes we relayed the information on ch16. We left Belle Pass at 6 am and met smoothe seas. At about 30 miles (or the circle) it changed to 3-4's very choppy out of the west. We had no trouble staying tied as the wind and current were both going easterly. We were diving the ST170's at the time and...

April our prayers go out to your family. The incident occurred at the rig South Timbalier 185 about 40 miles offshore. I heard a call around 9 am from a fishing vessel on this rig to the US Coast Guard concerning a missing diver. I also heard the same boat calling another nearby boat requesting...

Fast boats are typically a little more because they carry less passengers, but, you usually get more personal service. The bigger boats are slower but give you more time to visit, etc if your not in a hurry. Diesel or gas no big difference. Typically diesel boats get better mpg. There are so...

I have never eaten one there but I would think if one wanted a "cheeseburger in paradise" they would go to Margaritaville across from the Mega. There is a place on 30th just South of Xel Ha that grills burgers in the window right at the street. Not sure of the name but it smells good. We got to...

I would say option 1(b) for your certification simply because you will be more comfortable if you can fit your gear first plus the shore entry should be a little less stressful. You are going to be in a new country with unfamiliar people so the less stress the better. I would also ask the dive...

Not sure if he is open in evenings or not but El Billys on 65th and 19th has the best poc chuc and grilled chicken you will ever put in your mouth. We went there 3 times in the 6 days we were there. Figure $5/head including drinks. He has orders to go and a small dining area. Just look for the...

We enjoy Coral Reef Inn but if your son is under 18 that would not work. Haven't seen the rooms of the Barracuda but it definitely has what you asked for. Also we have stayed at Scuba Club and its probably in that range when you factor in meals, diving, etc but there are no TV's in the room and...

Living Underwater uses steel 120's. If you require alot of weight and are an airhog they are perfect as you don't need near the weight. I went down to the 95CF steel tanks after the first day with them because I was way overweighted and had zero extra weight. The steel tanks take some getting...

Thanks for the repair work Chief. I can barely work my dive computer what more this one! Rubber Duck I used the Go Pro Hero with the non wifi LCD back pack. Its an older one not even a Hero2. As for the set up I used both a wrist and head strap but when I filmed I just held it. I found the wrist...

Here are a couple of videos I compiled from our trip this month. I used a GoPro Hero with a cheap red filter. I found close ups turn out better with the filter but it doesn't seem to help at a distance. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="Cozumel 2013 3rd day - YouTube" frameborder="0"...

True Don. I did decline their insurance and you have to pay with the card you buy insurance on as well. I kept it "all in the family" by using the AMEX/Delta code to get the discount via their website, paying the recommended extra $25 from AMEX to get full property damage protection. I also...

Have you checked Cozumel Palace or Sabor? Your diving should run 1500 or so for 10 days using Living Underwater, XTC or similar high end dive ops. 2 grand ought to get you a nice stay as thats $200/day with food. Wife and I can eat like royalty for $100/day in Coz so that leaves $100 for...

I was there but dont bring my cable with me because my Alladain holds 100 dives. If I do that many on a trip to Coz I really won't be worried about logging anything anymore:D

I have had that same sickness. Just be glad it happened above sea level and not 60 ft below like my case did:vomit:

I just got back this week. I rented from Hertz at the airport (ahead of time online). I have the Amex Skymiles card which I have a love/hate relationship with. Using the card thru Delta's site I was able to get a discount lower that Avis or other online deals for a "Dodge Attitue or equal". Also...

I recently got my OUPV and towing endorsement using Mariners Learning System. If you are a self starter and can make the time to study you will do well with their online class. Two others that signed up at the same time I did have had over a year and are not past chapter one while I have my...

Ugghh. Thanks to the fog we missed the only flight to Cozumel today and are stuck in Atlanta. Cancun flights were full too so looks like our first night in Cozumel will be in Atlanta. Oh well there's always tomorrow

You better get there early!

Best I can tell its gonna be fun to find. We are renting a car and I got the map out. Might try to find in the daylight first. Their website says 75 North between 4&2. It has a map showing it to be 5 or 6 blocks down Juarez from the pier. ---------- Post added February 3rd, 2013 at 10:00 PM...
