All My wife and I finally convinced her brother and sisters (we are all certified) to have Thanksgiving in Mexico (Cozumel) and have 1 giant dive fest and maybe some turkey. There would have been nine certified divers and 4 others who were going to just work on thier tan. BUT Somebody...

In Cancun Solo Buceo (Only Diving) is where we did our Open water certs and we were completely satisifed. Martin and Carlos were the dive masters.

Cancun is not bad diving. I go down to Cancun for a week and my first dives are in Cancun (Sunday) and I then try to wander down to Akumal (Monday). Akumal is nice because it is very laid back and your non-diving spouse can hang out on the beach and have a couple of Margaritas. I head...

Thats not even funny..80 seconds dam*. I live in Denver..3hr flight to Cancun and 2 hr drive to Playa and and a ferry ride to COZ.

My wife and I got personalized training for 400 a piece in Denver (Underwater Phantseas) 1 instructor for both of us. We then went to Cancun and did our referals and open water dives. If I remember correctly it cost around 200 for our dives in Cancun (solo buceo)

Thanks-- This is very informative

I had a Searay 215 Express Cruiser and loved it. Plenty of room, small head for the ladies, easy access on/off, small cuddy to get out of the elements. I do not think they make the 215 any more but there plenty of them out there! Let us know what u get

Thanks for all the input..

I would love to go on a live aboard but I am worried about getting sea sick. Bonine works great on a cruise ship and dive boat but I am worried about 7 days on a small boat. Any suggestion on what live aboard/time frame to pick so I can avoid getting sea sick would be greatly appreciated...

We use this as a checklist of things to check prior to getting in. BCD (make sure it secured and inflated prior to jumpng in) Weights( are they on and secured) Air (check to make sure its turned on) Reg (check both out b4 u jump in ) F Fins ( arethey on and secured)

I am also a newbie (35 dives) but my wife and I have also experienced a similar attitude with some operaters/DM. When it comes down to it we are responsible for our own safety. I am lucky because I have a good dive buddy who has a financial and emotional stake in keeping me alive. We have...

Why do you recommend against the AI dive computer. I have an Aeris AtmosII that I like alot. What should I be aware of, what problems have you seen? Are they related to one brand of computer or all AI computer? Thanks for any heads up you can give me!

Dave I bought my equip BC/Reg/computer/mask/fins very early on. I did my OW in Cancun and the rental equipment was very used. The dumps on the BC were not in the same place as my equip that I was used to using in the pool, the BC was very worn and ill fitting, the guages were questionable...

I just came back from doing a dive in Key West and the Viz was horrible. The dive outfit took us to Dry Rock reef and said that they are experiencing an Algae Bloom and Viz was around 20-30 feet. Was the guy "BS"ing us or does this happen often. Thanks

Aeris Atmos2 Love it As far as cost This is one of the few places I wont try to go cheap

Mech Diver Do you dive for a living? I am a newbie OW diver (35 dives) and everything that is out of the "normal" worries me when I am down there. It sounds like you have a butt load of experience which is why I come to the board with questions like this. I hope that some time in the...

I went divng at Grand Caymen and my normal dive buddy could not make this dive due to having trouble clearing her ears. I paired up with a quiet individual on the boat who told me he did not have a lot of experience which is great because everybody has to start somewhere and I myself don't have...

Good news first I went with Celebrity and had no problem with equipment and I even accidently brought my dive knife in my luggage. They did not catch me but they did say they would confiscate any knives when boarding and hand them out when you go on the excursion. Dive equipment for two...

I just came back from Coz. and the same thing happened to me. My wife and I did our buddy checks and backrolled over the same side. She went in first then I followed. I immediatly started to descend which puzzled me because I intentionally put air in the BC prior to getting in the water. I...
