    Skin Bends

    Maybe a mod can move it?? islanddream, we will be in Europe this summer - I know tough life right?? Alyssa will be studying abroad in Madrid this semester so no diving for her, and the wife and I are going to meet up when she's done. Thanks for the concern all, and it was just so strange and...

    Skin Bends

    Just wanted to post my fun experience (not) of the last couple of days here on La Isla. We red eyed from LAX to Cozumel and landed at 11:30am. Made it to BA and decided to hop on the 1pm boat. Did a quick weight check shore dive to 15 feet for 5 minutes. All dives on air with Oceanic...

    Cozumel and other Caribbean destinations re lionfish

    They were going after them pretty strong in Bonaire as well. I thought the fish life there was outstanding.

    Land Scenery

    When we stopped for lunch we asked the guy if he wanted some food - he asked us for a couple of tacos to go, and it seemed to mean a lot to him. These guys work pretty hard (they don't make the taxi mafia money themselves), and it was really great to get to know the guy a little. The front...

    Land Scenery

    We hired a cab driver for the afternoon and he took us all around the island and there were a lot of great views!! The crocodile flats/tower, the lighthouse, about 100 different places on the east coast and even at San Geraviso, there were some great photo ops!

    Boat sinking from Blue Angel

    From the BA Facebook page.....so glad everyone is ok, and it is nice to hear that even with the fierce competition that must exist in Coz, it's still a brother/sisterhood after all. The Gire family is thinking of you BA family...

    Food walking distance from park royal

    Oh man- that takes me back! We used to go there after diving before heading back on board the ship we worked on and they had the little coronitas in the metal bucket. Nothing like salty diving mouth, an ice cold beer and sizzling chicken and onions!!! Nom Nom Nom. I still like them and we...

    any of y'all been to Jamaica?

    I worked for Princess Cruises for a while back in the late 80's. We would port at Montego Bay, and my buddies and I would grab a cab and head out to this hotel. It was maybe 20 minutes and I remember lots of cane fields. The first time we went, the cab driver on the way back to the ship...

    Another Bonaire question

    Actually, some of that footage WAS using a red filter. I didn't dig it as much as I like adjusting white balance in iMovie. It's not perfect by any means, but I was hating the red tinge that it gave the shallows, and then not nearly as impressed with the 'improved' colors at depth. I like the...

    Another Bonaire question

    I second the motion! ---------- Post added January 6th, 2015 at 10:48 PM ---------- If interested, here's a rough 720p go pro montage of last year's trip. Totally amateur footage, but an idea of what we saw! There were a couple boats involved, but most of the dives were from shore...

    Another Bonaire question

    Yeah, I guess I should anticipate being taken literally :) I was attempting to post an amusing overview of a typical noob Bonaire dive. To clarify, the buoys were hit and miss on some sites, and a yellow rock didn't always have a corresponding buoy as far as I could tell. There were many...

    Another Bonaire question

    I'm a certified Cozoholic, but I really enjoyed my trip to Bonaire! If you are truly happy blowing bubbles in a quarry, then you will most certainly enjoy the freedom, and seemingly endless reefs of Bonaire. I did miss the size and variety of the structure in Coz and after a week, some of...

    Skittl's December 2014 Review- Tres Pelicanos, Suites Bahia, and lots of food.

    You can also use a $2.00 snorkel keeper that you loop around the same D ring as the clip.

    Best Cozumel activity if it is raining?

    Go diving. You're gonna be wet anyhow. For me, nothing beats a fresh water face rinse at the surface after a lovely long dive!

    Cozumel in March

    We've been several times in March and will be there again in 2015. We have experienced nortes two times, but went to dive cenotes or went to the west side and stayed dry. We have seen eagle rays every time, one or two at the southern sites, and then 8 up north of town. We have not experienced...

    Airfare - Looking Ahead

    I just booked March 2015 from LAX round trip for $360 - which is an unheard of price! I paid 2X that for a flight a week later last year. It's a crap shoot.
