    Diver Fatality in Cozumel

    And why would her buddy let her go up alone with a missing or busted fin. You're pretty much dead in the water without both fins. She might have tried to swim with only one and over exerted herself.

    How to find a baby sitter in Isla Mujeras (while I'm diving)?

    I emailed the hotel, but haven't heard back. I'll call them. And thanks for the warning linden. I think I'll only consider someone that works for the hotel and not some random person from a babysitting website. Or maybe I'll only do 1-2 dives and my wife will have to watch by herself than to...

    How to find a baby sitter in Isla Mujeras (while I'm diving)?

    Sorry, slightly off topic, but this DOES relate to diving! So we're coming to Isla Mujeras (tiny island near Cancun) in December. It'll be my wife, two small girls, and me. While I'm diving, I'd like to get someone to help my wife with the kids. Just help, they don't have to watch them all...

    Ikelite 6081 Video Housing for Canon HD HG20/HG21 Camcorder

    I have a Ikelite 6081 camcorder housing for sale. It's designed for the Canon HG20 or HG21 HD camcorder. My HG20 broke, was under warranty so Best Buy replaced it with a newer model but it doesn't fit this Ikelite housing. So I'm stuck with a housing without a camera. The Ikelite is in...

    Kauai Dive Buddy or Guide Nov 30 - Dec 7

    I'll be coming to Kauai Nov 30 - Dec 7 with my family. None of them are divers. I'm looking for a dive buddy or a local guide to do one or two shore dives with. I'll do a couple boat dives as well. If not a dive buddy, I'm open to paying a dive guide. I have a list of the usual dive ops in...

    Best diving in Cayman Islands?

    I also just got back from Grand Cayman and after reading some posts here that said ALL diving is great on Grand Cayman. Since my wife doesn't dive I decided to stay on SMB and just do west side diving for convenience. After a couple days diving on the west side I really wasn't impressed. It...

    Anyone from the SF Bay Area willilng to fetch me some souvenirs from the ABC's?

    Anyone from the SF Bay Area going to Curacao, Bonaire, or Aruba willing to fetch me some souvenirs? I'll pay double for your trouble :) Maybe this can be shipped, but it involves alcohol and I don't think you're supposed to ship that. PM me - sorry for the irrelevant topic.

    Cenotes day trip worth it?

    Definitely do the Cenotes...it's awesome and its so different. I did Dos Ojos & Batcave and it was very cool. Max depth about 25'. The water is cooler than the ocean. I wore a 5mm, but I wear 5mm in the 80 degree ocean too (+ a hood). A 3mm might be OK if you don't get cold easily. I...

    Diving with Scuba Caribe in Playa del Carmen

    I just got back from a week in Playa del Carmen and mostly dove with Scuba Caribe who's the operator at the hotel. I picked them because I only wanted to do one tank per day so I could spend more time with my family, and Scuba Carbie seems like the only ones that do this. The other reason is...

    Playa del Carmen or Akumal Diving

    Just got back from a week in PDC and have been there before. I didn't go there primarily for diving and knew mostly what to expect. The reef diving there is maybe a 3 out of 10. I recommend the Cenotes which I only did once. The other thing I didn't like about PDC reef diving is the...

    Joe -that video is amazing. I hope to dive there one day. I can't believe you caught all that on just 2 days of diving. Great job.

    Anything like Cozumel Palace outside of Cozumel

    Does anyone know of a good all inclusive, at least at the level of Cozumel Palace, outside of Cozumel, somewhere with great diving, also somewhere close to North America (can't handle super long flights to Asia). My wife and I really love Cozumel Palace, but we've been too Cozumel so many...

    Curacao anyone?

    I'm looking to go to Curacao in the next couple months wanted to see if any Sb'ers were planning on going and would like to do some shore dives. I haven't bought tickets yet, but was hoping to buy something before the Curacao Now deal expires (3/15).

    Curacao: West or East side for shore diving?

    So now we've settled on Curacao over Bonaire and now I'm trying to decide which end of Curacao to stay on. I stayed in Westpunt before, at the Lodge Kura Hulanda. I liked it a lot, but the only problem was it was so far from town and my wife likes to do town stuff. I actually liked it on...

    Curacao Marine Life vs. Bonaire?

    OK - before some guy asks me to search the forums I already did and read a Curacao vs. Bonaire thread already, but didn't find an answer to this specific question. So I'm trying to plan my next trip and am thinking about going back to Curacao. I want to also go to Bonaire but the hangup...
