    Diving in Playa del Carmen (and Cozumel) in December 2024

    Curacao Marriott and diving questions

    We stayed at the Sunscape in Oct 2023 next door to Lions Dive, so I emailed Ocean Encounters. They emailed back and said that they put 25 to 30 divers on a boat, No thank you and they one of the more expensive dive shops. I dove with Goby Divers and they came and picked me up and returned me...

    Bag for boat dives (not for dive gear)

    You should be able to fit your mask/computer/regulator all in a regulator bag. I have Nanuk 903 dry box for my phone, room key, tip money and dive computer. https://nanukcases.ca/products/nanuk-903?_pos=1&_fid=b3e3ae78c&_ss=c&variant=38294629777589 but they come in all different shapes & sizes.

    Returning to Cozumel

    No reason we didn't go back, I really enjoyed the diving. It just kept getting put on the back burner. I dove with Scuba Tony back then. The other couple we are going with uses Sharkys all the time. This is the bottle.

    Continuous webbing vs adjustable harness for first BPW

    I dive a Sub Gravity aluminum BP/W for my travel BC. I love their adjustable harness it's clean, simple and no plastic parts. I won't trade it for anything else. Adjustable Harness System - SubGravity https://sub-gravity.com/product/paragon-single-tank-package/

    I dive a Sub Gravity Paragon single tank B/P&W that I really like. www.sub-gravity.com/product-paragon-single-tank-package/ But from the list you posted, I would go with the X Deep or the Mares.

    Question First Dive computer Suunto D5 or Garmin G1?

    I have been diving a Suunto Cobra for about 25 years. It has never failed me or locked me out in all that time and I am by no means a conservative diver. There is nothing wrong with Suunto dive computers or they would not have been in business for so many years.

    Iberostar & Dressel Divers

    Depending on the depth, my dives are usually around an hour. The public beach in the village of Bayahibe can get crowded with people & boats. Bayahibe beach just west of the village is fine. We stay at Dreams Dominicus which is just east of Bayahibe on Dominicus beach and it is not crowed and no...

    Diving in ABC islands.

    My wife is a non diver also. Curacao is the best option for a diver/non diver vacation. You will be very happy with the diving and there is a lot to see & do as well as good beaches for your girlfriend.

    Thoughts or Comments on the Magellan Mares HD

    Either is a good choice. I was considering the DGX but chose the Sub Gravity because I could buy it up here in Canada and I really liked their adjustable harness. The HOG 32lb wing has external bungee's that could be an entanglement hazard. The beauty of BP/W systems is you can mix & match...

    Travel BC owners, why?

    Both my setups are Sub Gravity Paragon single tank packages. For travel, I have a Sub Gravity 3mm aluminum BP, 26 lb wing, drop down small weight pockets and adjustable harness. For diving at home with a dry-suit & 108 LP single steel tanks, I have a 6mm stainless BP that weighs 10.1 lbs, 37 lb...
