    Dollar Exchange Rate and Peso Prices

    I went and got some pesos yesterday for my upcoming trip in March. Last year after Wells Fargo fees I was around 13.5, this year almost 17!! It makes paying dollars for a 70 peso taxi ride with a 10/1 exchange rate just plain dumb at this point. I usually bring enough pesos for taxis and...

    Last minute Coz trip recommendations ?

    you've got the greatest hits of dive ops, but on to the important question.... tacos My tops would be El Pique, Los Seras, The Taco Guys (I think that's what it's called- over by the fire station), and El Foco. I also like Chilangos but the make huraches (sp?) which are a longer thicker open...

    How many dives to plan for in Cozumel?

    I agree that the BA makes it fairly easy to do 4 tanks a day, and 5 if you skip happy hour and do a 20' safety stop dive out in front of the stingray pen.

    How many dives to plan for in Cozumel?

    I am a recent victim of an undeserved (skin bend) hit during my last trip to Coz. I was a 4 dive a day guy on all my previous trips and sometimes we'd do a shore dive at the BA after doing the morning and afternoon boats. During a week in Bonaire we managed 24 hours of bottom time in 6 diving...

    Books about Cozumel

    This is the one I bought as well. The map thing is cool, and the other information about the island, the fish, and the coral is nice. The reefs are so massive and complex that thinking to study the topo maps and know where you are on one of these dives seems kind of crazy for someone who dives...

    Skin Bends

    Very solid advice and for sure that is my takeaway from all of this!

    Skin Bends

    Yes air, conservative factor off, and DSAT algorithm - it would seem that the GEO 2.0 (or rather I am for trusting it) is to blame if your analysis shows me into deco. According to the data log on Mac Dive downloaded from the Oceanic computer, (including no deco or ascent rate alerts) I was...

    Skin Bends

    I may be insane for posting these as I'm sure people will nit pick my bouancy or ascent rate or whatever, but damn, these look pretty conservative to me - here are the profiles from the four dives.... In retrospect I was bent after the first two, and then made it worse after the 2nd batch. The...

    Skin Bends

    This table argument is such ridiculous semantics and I (being the OP) doubt very much that diving tables with flat bottoms would have changed the outcome in what seems to be just plain bad luck. I feel the same about saying 'if he were diving nitrox, this would not have happened'. Maybe yes...

    Skin Bends

    Hey Doc, My 'undeserved' hit included a lot of soreness but no real itching, and did not resolve without further treatment of surface O2 (after 50 hours of wait and see), but did NOT include any other neurological symptoms. I am wondering how you would classify this? Most people describe...

    Skin Bends

    50 hours post event and I still have symptoms. Went back to the DAN doc and they have me on a drip and 2 hours of O2. Hope this gets it done or it looks like I'm gonna get a ride after all. Feeling fine, other than the soreness and the anxiety, but no neurological symptoms at all.
