    Ambergris Dive Op: Looking for Maximum bottom time for experienced divers

    Thanks for the feedback. I hope things calm down before next month. If I don't get in a good week of diving, I may have to get on antidepressants and start seeing a shrink. Wish me luck.

    Ambergris Dive Op: Looking for Maximum bottom time for experienced divers

    I know everyone has their favorite operators, but we have gotten some great recommendations on SB. We do not get to travel very often so the cost per dive is a secondary concern. We will be on the Caye for a week in late July.

    Dive sites north of Barracuda

    I will tell a few lies to fly south to Coz to go dive north of north. Sounds like fun. Going to look at flight options.

    Beware of French Lady

    To hear from the left side would be great but impossible! Today I heard a second hand rumor about a very strange ginger diver who glows in the dark when exposed to more than an hour of direct sun light. Does such a thing exist? Surely, not. When I make it back could depend on how things go...

    Beware of French Lady

    Ahhh....I heard rumors about an insane group of divers who dove Barracuda that morning. You know you are a Cozumel diver when you have seen an ill equipped diver in split fins get blown around Barracuda like a leaf on a windy day. You might also qualify if you insist on using a magnifying...

    July 2013: Hot July brings cooling showers, Apricots and gillyflowers. Who's with me?

    Ready to blow bubbles. July 5 - 14, Secrets Aura, Aldora. The wife and I are going through withdrawal because we normally make it back earlier in the year.

    The best dives: Dario at Aldora

    My wife and I have two more days to dive before we have to pack up and fly north. Nonetheless, I wanted to go ahead and share our excellent experience with other SB members. We have done the best dives on the island, and we have not even had to ask. We started diving at the Southern most sites...

    Scorpio is very good. I have gotten great advice on SB regarding operators.

    Sidemounting in Cozumel?

    Thanks for starting this thread. On a few dives in Coz, I really wished I had a second tank. Redundancy makes me feel better, and I also felt on my own a few times even though I have a great buddy. Also, we very briefly exceeded our po2 limits on two dives. It was safe because it was brief, but...

    Troubles on a drift dive.

    Pauly, your post reminded me of my first experience towing the flag. It was a distraction from the dive which I did not appreciate, but it was an additional experience that ultimately made me a better diver. Getting back to the point of your post, I have had my fair share of dives that did not...

    Looking for an operator that caters to divers, not just tourists who dive

    Thanks to all! We were in Cancun for a wedding, and we had to make the best of the time available. We just booked a trip through our hotel, and we ended up on a party barge with what felt like half the island. It is very easy to read something into a post that does not exist if you want to be...

    Looking for an operator that caters to divers, not just tourists who dive

    We are giving Coz another chance in August. On our last trip, the operator we used was more concerned with telling jokes to the vacationers than taking care of the real divers in the group. We are easy going and have a sense of humor, but we will trade a few laughs for good information and...

    August! Who is going to be there?

    August 6 - 14. We have not booked our operator yet. I will be posting a thread to ask for recommendations. We want to avoid the operators that treat everyone like they were certified an hour before the boat leaves the dock.
