I would suggest Hotel Cozumel and diving with Dive Paradise. They have everything on your list, and the package is very affordable. Good luck! DB

Conch Republic. Great dive ops, great boats, great dive shop, great staff.

My wife and I dove with CR the following week for 5 days. Perfect weather, flat seas, no current, great visability, and no rain. Just perfect.

I have a new Hero 3 Black with pretty much all of the accessories. My wife and I spent several days in Cozumel in January with the new outfit, and I think the best option is to use the camera without the extended battery or LCD for pretty much all underwater applications. The LCD is not much...

Alberto: Can you send me a PM, I'm having trouble with the training site.. Thanks-Darrell Brackett

I think for a partial pressure of 1.4 the MOD for 32% is about 111 ft. This is not a nitrox dive (which I think fdog was trying to say to you.....) Good luck. DB

I see no one has answered the original question, but I just upgraded a not QD Atmos ai by having a QD installed. I think I paid my dealer $70. That might be your best option. DB

Leslie: Most people in the US are concerned about what is going on in Mexico right now. Since you live in PV, you probably have the "scoop" on what really happened in your town, and the global situation concerning violence as a whole. What do you really know/think? Thanks-DB

I did not recognize where exactly you were from, but I can tell you in the United States, most commercial health insurance policies do not cover international travel. That means that if you need any medical treatment, from minor to major, in a foreign country, you are responsible for the bill...

Great report! Personal experiences like this are what I rely on when possible to make my decision about where to go and spend my time and hard earned money. Thanks so much for taking time to do this. Darrell

Echo the comments about new fins (to fit the DS boots). You may have to upgrade your b/c depending on size. Also, you'll probably want to get a weight trim system (DUI). You might need a few more weights. Also zipper care stuff like wax, and seal maintenance (special talc). You'll need...

I've got the Tech Dry, with Bare 100 and 200 wt. underwear, and have not had any problems venting the suit. I only have about 30-40 drysuit dives, so I'm not an expert. Maybe you could get a local instructor to dive with you and watch your technique when ascending/venting. Also check you your...

Echo the suggestion for Al or Felix at Bay Adventures. They will make it happen for you. DB

I've been on two cruises with Carnival, Eastern on the Glory, Western on the Dream. Dove with the Carnival tour groups on both. My reason with booking with the cruise line is this....they guarantee that the boat will not leave port without you if you book with them. If you choose a private...

I sent you a PM too.... Darrell

This is the one I have:

Matt: Digging a little deeper in to your question about surviving on the surface while floating... I learned diving many years ago from an ex-navy diver. He taught us that attempting survival by traditional unaided floating would lead to exhaustion quickly and subsequent early demise. He...

I wore a 3mm shorty both places, and was comfortable in the warmer months. DB

I've been diving since 1979, and been out of the country many times. I've never had anyone ask for or look at my dive log. The usual questions are "how long have you been diving?", and "when was your last dive?", and let me see your "card". If you are worried, you could call the dive operator...

I've been to Cozumel when the current was practically absent (uncommon), times when it was steady 1-3 knots, and in late June a couple of times when it was extremely difficult to swim against or stop. Play it safe and take a fin that gives you reasonable power. DB
