Creamy Hydrogen Peroxide 80 volumes works fine, this chemical is the same used in hairdressing for discoloring hair. Be careful since it´s a strong oxidizer. Wear gloves and eye protection. Apply with a brush. The process is accelerated if you put the silicone mask under the sun inside a clear...

I succeeded using creamy hydrogen peroxide (the same used by hairdressers) 80 volumes. Be careful to wear gloves and apply with a brush. The process is accelerated if you put the mask under the sun inside a clear plastic bag, in few hours will be almost like new

I was at Bavaro beach with my familiy from 13 to 23 june 2013 and seemed to be quite safe, beaches are patroled by the Politur (touristic police) and each hotel has their own watchmen at the beach, they keep beaches free of undesirable persons. In D.R. beaches are public, except at Punta Cana...

Hi Jamie: went there last week, stayed 10 days, dove only in caves and reefs at the caribbean side: La Romana and Bayahibe. When talking with locals said me that Puerto Plata is becoming unsafe due ilegal immigration and drug problems, don´t have diving info. Aso heard it has well preserved...

Hi M_B, I was there last week with my family, choose R.D. because was cheap in an all inclusive hotel and went with my 13 year son, PADI Junior, that only can dive up to 36 ft. Stayed at Punta Cana, rather far away, so we traveled almost every day about 1 hour to reach Bayahibe or La Romana...

Dear Pilman: when having 14 years old I begin to dive and cured my asthma forever. Recently when talking with a pilot, told me he often takes children to fly to cure them, seems that pressure air changes are a possible cure for this disease. For me was great to get on diving, since I used to...

Just don`t go to Acapulco, diving there is not worth, in fact nothing is worth there but taking a taxi at sunset to see the "clavadistas" (divers) at La quebrada. All there knew better times. No life, no visibility, lots of garbage scattered on the bottom. Amazingly there`s a very good dive shop...

Thank you! what would you recommend: buy a package with a dive shop (pelicanosport at VIK Arena Blanca) inlcuding dive and shuttle to Bayahibe and other spots or just rent a car and go around looking for best dives? B.rgds

Hola Oscar: muy bueno el video, gracias por compartirlo! iré a P. Cana en junio 2013, veo que hay muchas opiniones contradictorias, algunos recomiendan ir directamente a Bayahibe. Que conviene mas: contratar con un operador de P. Cana y que incluya el traslado hasta los sitios o alquilar un auto...

Hola Arturo: estuve una semana en S. Andres en 2009, hice 2 buceos por dia a cual de ellos mejor, he buceado en varias partes del mundo y te aseguro que San Andres es superior p.ej. a Cozumel, lo que ocurre es que es una isla con bastante pobreza y por lo tanto excluida del glamour, sin embargo...

I´ve been there last week, liked a lot. Used this web site to get advise, thanks to Tad who recommended me Sea Garden op inside Marazul Hotel (4 stars, all inclusive with good rooms and services), in San Andres Island. Island is very safe, friendly people, living is cheap and can buy electronics...

Hi: I was diving last week in San Andres Island (Colombian Caribbean), very nice, warm water and lots of coral, that´s the good part.... I rented all the gear and checked out that operator didn´t wash too much regulators, just a fast rinse with freshwater. First day went to a wall at 100 ft, no...

Dear Designerdiver: I was diving last week in San Andres Island (Colombian Caribbean), very nice, warm water and lots of coral. I rented the gear and checked out that operator didn´t wash too much regulators. First day went to a wall at 100 ft, no problem to equalize, second day couldn´t dive...

I bought the air tickets and hotel vauchers to arrive San Andres on June 18 with my familiy, would like to book some deep dives for me and at least two snorkeling days for the children and wife. I´ll thank any advise.

I´ve never been at Belize. My next diving trip will be San Andres Island in June with my two sons having 8 and 11 years old, we´ll be back in July, will be a pleasure telling you about diving there.

Hi Tadeo; I booked my tickets for S. Andres to reach there on June 18. Now have some crazy idea: what about flying to Providencia for one day dive round trip; once in S.Andres, just to know it, then if I like it, stay there next year? Thank you. B.Rgds: Arturo

I suggest diving Cozumel, Playa del Carmen and the cenotes (Mexico), I was there in 1997, was a perfect trip. Cave diving can be done without being an specialist if you go with a group and an instructor, itŽ´s an amazing experience. Yucatan area has the perfect balance between a cultural trip...

Hi, I´ll stay 7 nights at San Andres in June, do you think it´s worth flying to Providencia just to spend one diving day? this is because my wife and sons will remain at S. Andres and don´t want to let them alone too much time. Thanks

Hi Tad: what about going San Andres in May or June? what about Decameron Hotels diving service? when is exactly crowded?, donŽ´t know spring break time since I live in Uruguay, we only have a winter break in July! IŽ´ll thank any advice.
