We dove on it this summer and there was no mention of any changes or selling it. Very nice boat.

We enjoy staying at the Coral Reef Inn. Not a true B&B but very similar. The owners are great people and very helpful. It is located next to Corpus Christi Church and has a local vibe. The real neat part is they have an outdoor kitchen on the top deck that you can use to cook your own meals...

Well the electrons finally started flowing or the firewall fell down or whatever but I got responses from both ops last night. I replied to their questions and asked some of my own. Hopefully I will get answers soon on them and if not may well move on. @ Mstevens--I agree a call would be easier...

Thanks for all the replies. Yes we are going Carnival week but was not aware that's a problem but guess it is. A simple reply of "we can't take you then" would suffice. Without getting into name calling the first op replied both automated and personally with a "we will get back to you" this was...

I have emailed two very reputable dive ops in Cozumel in an attempt to get reservations for February for a group of 5. This began many weeks ago. One op has replied a few times with different reasons or generic replies that they would get back to me and never did. The other has never replied. Is...

Jon, I just passed the MLS course and USCG test administered by MLS. This is for OUPV and I am being required to get a TWIC card. It seems fairly simple as long as you have a passport or the listed documentation. You can pre register and make an appointment online

We are selling a DC800 camera with housing and strobe. It includes carrying case, accessories, manuals, etc. and has never been flooded. It is for auction on Ebay if your interested. Sea Life DC800 Underwater Camera with Housing | eBay

I think if you own the boat the registration is enough but the form has to be properly completed and hours documented as required on the form instructions. Not sure about the book you are reading but I am in the MLS OUPV 6 pack school. I thought I was a good test taker and had good nautical...

I beleive you can count it if you can get the form signed by the captain or owner of the vessel.As for the 90 days (not hours) I don't think it has to be the final 90days. You just have to have 90 days within the last 3 years in the area you are getting certified for. Another words, as I read...

As I understand it if you present the vessel owner the proper form to sign and serve 8 hrs (4 for OUPV) on board the vessel per day you can count this toward your sea service if the form is signed. So the way I take it is if the owner of a charter boat or live aboard signs saying you served on...

It would be hard to say for sure. I wasn't certain when DSC became a requirement on VHF radios so I went to Seatow's website who issues MMSI numbers. According to them DSC became a requirement for fixed mount VHF radios in 1999. I would think the military and ferry's would have replaced theirs...

I think that although alot, if not most, dive boats in Cozumel may not have VHF radios with DSC capabilities there are enough other boats in the area that do to make having a Nautilus worthwhile. I have seen both US and Mexican naval boats in port. Also there are the ferry boats and the 5 or 8...

Inflation is now affecting all aspects of life except salary. We are seeing it big time in the construction industry as well

Cool we will be there then

RipCharts Logon They are showing a surface temp of 80 degrees right now

I heard if you stay at the Hotel California you can see the Eagles :mooner:

Strong current is usually never an issue unless you have to swim against it or turn your head side ways

We are in the same time zone as you are (Central) which usually is the same as Cozumel time. I too like to sleep to 8-9am but find I adjust easily to island time. Waking up at 3 am on the first day to get ready to catch the early flight along with everything else usually puts us in bed early our...

Rumor has it there are a couple or three brothels on the island and its perfectly legal

We can't touch any sponges yet the parrot fish eat on them profusely....Its a good thing fishing is allowed in some areas to thin out these sponge predators...oh yes and the lion fish will help too. The sponges should be safe for now.
