Howdy all, I just booked 10 nights at the Reef for us June 4-14. I know our boys (13 & 10 y/o) are going to love the water park and aquarium activities. This is a true family vacation, not a dive trip but I would like to get in a 2 tank excursion while there just to check it off the list and...

Howdy all I'm going to post reports about our trip and will just post about the diving in this thread. I will post about the Occidental in a separate post to give some info about that part of the trip and our experience getting our oldest son an emergency appendectomy while in Cozumel! :oops...

We are heading to Coz on June 1st and I see info about the FMM card no longer being needed. When I use the link in the very helpful "traveling to Cozumel" post, I see a link on the gov webpage about paying a "Visitax" online if you are arriving in Cancun or Coz. Is this true or some scam...

Howdy all, We are booked at the Occidental in June and there will be four of us (2 adults & 2 kids). What would be the recommended service to use to reliably get 4 people and a nice stack of luggage back and forth? We are booked for 18 nights so we will have a pile of luggage with dive &...

Howdy all, We are heading down to the Occidental in June and I will be the only one diving since my wife doesn’t want to dive while we have our 9 and 12 year old boys with us. She doesn’t want to have both of us be out on the water while the kids are back at the resort. When just her and I were...

Howdy all... We haven't been to Coz in almost 13 years and that trip was in February. We have booked a trip for the four of us (our 2 sons ages 9 & 12 also) starting early June and I'm wondering what the bug situation is normally like for that time period. We remember how very important...

I am selling a Mares Quad that I used on one trip to Little Cayman. It has the box and all papers and it is in excellent condition. I am only selling it because my wife needed a new computer and I decided to buy 2 identical consoles so we would have identical computers. I really liked the...

Hello all... I'm starting to research a family style dive trip for my wife's 40th B-day and we will have our two younger boys and possibly my Mom along as well. This will be for the very end of May after school lets out. My wife and I were in Coz about 12 years ago as a couple and had a...

I booked thru Costco travel before everything clamped down and now travel is banned for another month thru the end of May. Air Tahiti won't refund the full amount so we were forced to pay a $500 cancellation fee for our 2 tickets. Unbelievable!!!! Our departure date was supposed to be May 26...

Howdy all... Haven't bought a new light in just about forever. I'm looking for a new handheld primary light for taking along on day dives to check out crevices or to use on swim-throughs. I would also like it to be suitable for using on a night dive. I will be using it in tropical locales...

Went to Little Cayman for 10 nights at SCC June 1 thru 11. Had an excellent experience and just want to pass on some details for those who might be considering LC and/or SCC. Wife & I went sans kids...our 2 boys stayed with Grandparents so we were looking for peace & quiet, relaxation and...

Howdy all... The wife and I are heading to Southern Cross Club for June 1-11. It's coming up fast and I'm just wondering if anyone has any tips regarding SCC or the diving there. Anything is appreciated. We had a few bad things go on at Bohio on Grand Turk last year so I'm hoping that SCC is...

Howdy divers! I'm looking to get a backup to my dinosaur Edge that I love so much. I've been looking for something small but very readable (my close-up vision isn't what it used to be!), easy & quick to use, and doesn't break the bank. It seems a lot of people like the Quad and the display is...

Just want to add a trip report on our Grand Turk vacation in June 2018 at the Bohio Resort. My wife and I went to relax and dive, and it was our first real extended getaway (since Fiji) without any kids in 6 years (since our youngest was born)!! Needless to say, we were really looking forward...

We discovered Cactus Juice when we were in Roatan to deal with the noseeums. It worked great so we are wondering if we should take a good supply with us to Fiiji in June (it's available on Amazon.com for pretty cheap). What do the Fiji regulars here on scubaboard recommend? Are the bugs...

Hi all, The wife and I are planning our first trip to the South Pacific and we have some questions about the dive op that services Wananavu Beach Resort. We have been snooping around here and have learned that there is a new op called Reef Safaris that has some new boats. Our questions are...

Let me start by saying that the wife and I did a lot of reading here on SB before our trip and we appreciate the helpful threads on resorts and dive operators. We thought we had it nailed for our trip starting at the end of February, but when we went to actually book it, the Grand was sold...

As the wife and I start to pack....it just dawned on me if I need to pack my converter stuff? What is the electricity in Coz? We will be staying at the Park Royal. Also, I haven't decided on which dive op....I figured we might relax and drink the first day or 2 and then try out the op at...

Howdy...my wife and I finally booked and went with Park Royal and we leave Feb 25th:D As of late, what are the recommendations for taking currency and credit cards? Our airfare and hotel package is already paid in full and I am wondering what we should take with us and when we should convert...

Hi everyone, I previously posted a thread about my wife and I planning our first trip to Coz and got lots of great info from everyone.....thanks a million! We have narrowed down our choices for time of year, hotels and dive ops. I have a question regarding Occidental Grand....it looks like...
