Just wondering what the current rate is for a 2 tank dive. Haven't been there for 6 years and leaving tomorrow (yay!).

I'm planning a 2 week ring road trip to Iceland for next summer and am considering snorkeling rather than diving Silfra because of cost and time restraints. I'm thinking that if the water is so very clear then I should be able to see a alot from the top; am I wrong? Has anyone done both or has...

The shore diving is mostly a sandy bottom with a some rock piles, some rubble and a mini mayan structure. If you like micro or poking around for sand dwellers and juvenile fish you will like it. If you are looking for coral and the big stuff you will likely be disappointed. I love all fish...

I walked through Hotel Barracuda once during the middle of the day and the pool had been taken over by a cruise ship crew (mostly Russian); they were having a great time but it was a bit too noisy for me. Based on that I crossed it off my list. Was that an anomaly? That was quite a while ago...

I'm having a serious bout of Post-Dive Trip Depression; all I can think about as I soak my gear in the bathtub is how to sneak in another quick trip to Coz. And turtles. And friendly parrotfish faces. Anyway, since I have seen many questions regarding Hotel Cozumel as well as comments...

Agreed, I love micro and can poke around down there for hours. Do you know who runs the dive op at Park Royal?

Have stayed at Blue Angel and liked it. Case del Mar, Park Royal seem pretty close to the cruise ships; you can shore dive there? Dave, just sent Villa Aldora an email seeking availability.

Heading to Coz in June and looking for for a place that has good rubble diving in front and an onsite operator to check out a tank. I REALIZE the shore diving in Cozumel isn't great but I love me a long shallow rubble dive where I can watch blennies, gobies, juvies and other various sand...

Some topside photos from a point and shoot photographer. Half Moon Caye, the lunching spot for the blue hole trip. The pier at Secret Beach: The beachfront at Sunbreeze Suites: The Lizard Bar at the Caye Caulker split: The crew (and 2 guests) at Ecologic: The next 4 are the...

Yes! I loved Hol Chan and could have stayed down there for hours. The guide, however, decided 41 minutes was enough.

The Trip March 31st to April 9th with my husband and 23 yo daughter. When we arrived it was too windy to dive. Apparently March is windy, a fact I failed to check. We also arrived during the tail end of Easter week, so many of our first choices for accomodations were booked, something I...

Bump. Looks like we're staying at Sunbreeze Suites. Can anyone tell me what the nearest, as well as recommended dive shops are? Its hard to tell from just looking at googlemaps.

Agreed. Best to take it with a grain of salt. :D

Yeah, I'm not thrilled about having to stay in Belize City. Are any of you familiar with The Black Orchid Resort? Apparently its in the jungle near the airport and gets decent Trip Advisor reviews. The advantage is that its not in Belize City. Unfortunately the Palms and Xanadu are sold out...

Thanks for the tips. The ATV tour sounds great, I will definately check that out. I have one more question for those of you in the know; would it be wise to take the 6 am Tropic flight to BZE for an 8 am American Airlines departure? Or would it be better to be in Belize City the night before...

Thanks LThomas, sounds like exactly what we're looking for. As for dive shops, do you have any recommendations for those that are better than decent? The names that I've noticed on SB are Ambergris Dive, Island Divers, Chuck and Robbies', White Sands and Aqua Vista.

I would love to hear those suggestions. I'm planning a March trip with my 23 y.o.daughter and 25 y.o. son. Wish List: In town near bars, restaurants and shops. Condo, preferably on or near a beach. Pool Low key Can walk to dive shop. Thanks.

Still have pesos from the last trip. Sounds like prearranging a shuttle is unnecessary even with a bad window lady.

[ There's "policy" and there's "what is done". When it comes to Cozumel taxis and airport vans, those are not necessarily related to each other. So.....when I arrive and tell the head guy I want to go to Hotel Cozumel will he quote the 96 pesos for the shared van or must one bargain to get...

Plans finalized. Hotel Cozumel, April 22-29. Dive Paradise.
