I saw this article today and thought I would pass it on. I don't know how much they will be enforcing this but thought a heads up might be warranted. Here is a paragraph from the article.. -- George Hobica of Airefarewatcdog was taking a routine jaunt through airport security when he...

All through the years I have traveled through IAH to get to dive locations but since moving to PHX I am finding it difficult to get to CZM without 5am flights which involve a pre-flight night in PHX (I live over 100 miles away from PHX) or because Arizona doesn't change their clocks (half year...

I saw a great little gadget that I thought was very interesting, especially when traveling with dive gear. It was introduced at the Las Vegas CES show this year and their web site says it will start being shipped in April. Here is the link to their web site and blurb on how it works. Could be...

Posted today in the newspaper. After reading this I wondered.. If this would have been you or me on our way to a relaxing vaca in CZM would we have been charged, arrested and/or held responsible for the costs if it were two passengers, or a passenger and a flight attendant involved in this...

Fun Friday, Saw this short little video this morning and thought I would share it. I don't think I have to worry about a gull stealing my rig, I can hardly lift it..:D Wait for the ending after the bird pecks at the case and figures out it's no use... In-flight movie - The Daily

FYI.. Just saw on the national news that Delta is going to start cutting frequent flyer miles by as much as 75% if you don't book directly through their web site. Discount fares (probably Kayak, Expedia, etc), tours (which groups weren't defined, maybe as small as LDS groups) and others...

Saw this online today, pretty awesome. Rolling in the deep - The Daily You can see the wings and propulsion on the closeups. Here is some more of the story.. http://www.wearefreewheeling.org.uk/

For years I've used IAH when heading to CZM or the Caribbean from Phoenix. I know my way around the airport, customs, gates, clubs, restaurants and a nice close hotel if I need to overnight. I've flown Continental for all trips usually without a hitch (as far as the airport goes). Lately...

Hi, I checked in on the SCC web cam last night (Saturday-4/21) just before dark and it was rockin & rollin. First time I can remember seeing a blurry image then in focus when it refreshed, just like our weather cams up here when the winds are high. The SCC cam is on a pretty sturdy mount, it...

I'm headed to CZM in April and would like to take a day and head over to PDC and then down the coast toward Tulum just to see what it looks like now. Does anyone know a good way to see the mainland coast without renting a car ? It has been years since I've done it, last time was in the early...

When I'm planning a trip to Cozumel I watch the fares from time to time to see what they are doing. I was amazed at what happened between 9pm last night (2/8) and 4pm today (2/9). I always watch coach and first class at the same time so I can watch how the seats are disappearing as the date...

I am hoping the 7D users will chime in on something I've been fighting with myself about for over a year. Background.. I am now shooting with a G-12 in Ikelite housing, dual DS-161 strobes and Sola 600 focus light. I mention the above only to show that I am hooked to Ikelite and haven't had...

Others might have heard of this before but this is the first for me. View this short little video to see for yourself. Underwater shocker - WWW.THEDAILY.COM Do you think it really works ? If so it might help repair coral damaged after future hurricanes.

I've been watching the web cams the last few days and the weather sure looks crummy ? Saw the waves washing up and over the pier at SCC the other morning. People in Jackets today. What has the weather been like ? Has the port been closed ? Just curious.

Hi Everyone, Not to many UW photos being posted lately so I thought I would post a link to a few shots from my Aug / Sept trip so everyone in the states starting to experience the cold weather of winter move in can dream about their next trip. I didn't take a lot of photos this trip because I...

I've been watching the SCC web cam this morning and it looks like the port is closed (today is Thursday 9/8). Everyone is standing around up by the dive shop as if they are waiting word.. closed or open ? Just got home late Sunday (9/4) and had such good weather for 8 days that is made me...

It was announced this morning that the TSA is initiating a pilot program to try out a Trusted Traveler Program patterned after Customs / Immigration's Global Entry program. It says it will be tested on (don't hold me to this) American and Delta.. more details to follow. I'm sure there might...

My last trip to Cozumel was at the end of March 2011. At the time I was overweight on my dive bag and because of some new camera equipment I purchased and couldn't spread out to the other bags. So I had to pay Continental Airlines the overweight charge of $50.00 on my one bag. I knew I was...

I've read all I can on these two dive resort but can't make up my mind which to go to. I have never been to Grand Cayman so this will be my first experience. I'm going to dive and photo so nightlife isn't a priority to me but total isolation isn't my thing either. Just good diving, a dive op...

I was contacted after my last dive trip to Cozumel by Ian Campbell the Editor of the Cozumel online Magazine "This Is Cozumel" Ian had viewed some of the photos I took while shore diving at Scuba Club and asked if they could do an article, using my photos, to bring more attention to the shore...
