We were there in May. Breakfast was served at individual tables on the front patio and in the contiguous lobby area. We would go to the front desk the day before and order our breakfast for the next morning "at 7:00am". They would hand us a menu and we'd write down on a sheet of paper (along...

That's a NEGATIVE on free admission to the "Club". Only on certain International destinations -- not Mexico (Mexico City being the exception) or the Caribbean.

A mo One month ago we also stayed at Casa Mex and dove 3P. I walked all over the place one morning tracking down all the "bargain" Farmacias that folks on ScubaBoard were touting prior to my visit. All kept pointing me to someone else -- until, SURPRISE", I was right back where I started after...

See post #34 -- to which I'll add... My experience traveling so far has been that these new travel apps are a work in progress -- including VERIFLY. A couple of us downloaded it and later tried to use it -- mostly out of curiosity. Couldn't even get past step 1. Paper is and always will be your...

We just came home last night from Coz on American Air. No one was asking for any $$$. All they (AA) wanted to see was your negative Covid Test on paper before issuing your boarding passes. After that no one else asked to see the test results. Had the same experience coming back from Cabo last...

At the current exchange rate it's a $25 bill (USD). No big deal, really. 100 pesos = $5.

For what it's worth, our local dive/travel shop, Weaver's (in the biz 40 years) is planning a June trip there. Even if you don't book it, you can see the details of their itinerary here: http://weaversdive.com/trips/st-eustatius/

Yup - totally safe. Stayed in Pulmo for a week the last two years in Fall. Oct/Nov are best months for moderate weather, warm waters. Wife and I walked to/from dinner every night. Bring a flashlight because once it gets dark, there are no streetlights. All the operators there go to the same...

Mailed mine and the missus passports from a suburb of Denver in separate Priority Flat Rate envelopes on December 8. Sent both to the same address in Philly with expedite request and extra payment enclosed. Handed them both at the same time to a postal clerk. Tracking on December 28 had mine in...

I have been to Baja 5 times in the last 2 years and just returned from a 1 week stay in Cabo San Lucas. Since you are on a 10-14 timetable and are interested in the diving, I would suggest flying in and out of San Jose Del Cabo (SJD airport code) and renting a car there. Use Cactus rentals...

A good example of this might be a diver who is used to diving in cold, murky conditions accidently dropping a weight. In that environment where the visibility is poor, he might never consider chasing down after it. But if he sees it on the bottom in clear conditions, the temptation to retrieve...

Agreed. Anyone who is down there with enough candle power to light up an auditorium isn't really night diving. They are actually making it brighter down there than during daytime. Learn to dive at night with minimal lighting, or don't bother at all.

My first and only encounter with Bruce was a year ago. I had bubbles coming out of my recently serviced primary at the beginning of a month long trip. Dive Friends sent me over to his shop where he dropped everything, took it apart and re-seated an improperly positioned "O"-ring. He handed it...

Agreed - Our large chain grocery store has already posted a sign: "After March 17, NO RETURNS except on perishables that were spoiled at time of purchase". Good luck with those 50 lbs. of frozen chicken thighs and 48 rolls of paper towels!

Thanks for that info. Family (4 of us) was scheduled to go to Guanaja on April 1. We'd been looking forward to that trip since last September. I checked Honduras Domestic flights earlier today on Flightaware and they've all been cancelled. Not a single plane shown over the Country. Two weeks in...

Five years ago we had the same thing happen to us at ANDREA. My son and I were underwater. My wife was snorkeling 200 feet away and watched them do it -- all in about 30 seconds. They even stole our lunch -- which really ticked us off. We filed a Police Report and notified Poppy (aka Telerin)...

Heck - Why not just get your AOW Certification with the operator you're diving with? It's probably easier and cheaper that way.

Me and the missus were in Fiji for the first time last August. After a 20 minute cab ride which was paid by the resort, I asked the driver if he would be offended if I offered him a tip. He gave me a sincere smile and said: "It's your culture. I can respect that." Gotta love Fiji.

We stayed at the Courtyard by Marriott Miami Airport last April under similar circumstances. That's my go-to place from now on. Great location, reliable shuttle, everything you want. 1201 NW Le Jeune Road 305 642-8200

I was here last January and have booked again (with 2 more family members) this upcoming Spring. Posted in Bay Islands sub-forum... Clearwater Resort - Guanaja: Trip Report
