    Diving Cancun, Playa Del Carmen, Isla Tortugas, Cozumel, Cenotes: 'Brief' Report

    Thanks for the post. I'm going to Secrets in July and just sent Alvaro an email. Hopefully, we can work something out. I'd like to get in some much needed diving.

    Curious, who has pet fish?

    I was not attempting to be patronizing in my reply to you. If it came across that way I apologize. Though I'd like to discuss some of the points you've made, I don't want to derail this thread. :)

    Welcome! :admingreet: Have you seen that ScubaBoard is having a group trip to Coz? http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/invade-cozumel-june-12-19-2011/361021-whos-going-cozumel-invasion.html I don't know if there is still room but when I was a new diver, I went on one of our trips and met some...

    Interesting about your Banggai, I'll keep an eye on my pyjamas. I misspoke, the gobies in the seahorse tank are Rainford's. I have a yellow watchman that's paired up with a pistol shrimp in my reef tank; they are cool to watch interact.

    Curious, who has pet fish?

    The marine aquarium trade has come a long way, albeit it still has room to still grow. Many people and companies are working toward sustainable collection, aquaculturing, and farming of fish and corals. As someone pointed out already, many aquarium inhabitants are now being aquacultured and...

    Curious, who has pet fish?

    I have the aiptasia eating filefish (Acreichthys tomentosus) and pajama cardinalfish (Sphaeramia nematoptera). I buy live mysid and stock the tank with them now and then to help keep the population up. I also keep lots of macroalgae in the tank so there are plenty of hiding spaces. I forgot...

    Curious, who has pet fish?

    I do spend a good amount cleaning and caring for my fish. I feel that since I purchased them, I have the responsibility to care for them the best way I can. I must admit I do find it relaxing though. It's a hobby but one I find challenging. I want to give them at least as good a home if not...

    Curious, who has pet fish?

    Ahhh, what makes a "real" pet? I've trained my seahorses to eat from a bowl. They will swim over and hitch (wrap their tail around my finger), my shrimp will climb onto my hands and my male clownfish will bite me. I spend lots of money on them, lots of time with them, and they are usually...

    Curious, who has pet fish?

    All separate systems with their own sumps. I have a lot of windows in my home and not a lot of wall space so I go with smaller tanks. Besides not all my fish would get along. The fish I have in with my seahorses are filefish, cardinals, firefish, and gobies. I wouldn't recommend a...

    Florida Keys

    I know several people who have been treated for DCI yet had a dive profile that was within acceptable limits. Perhaps as suggested, you may want to read the article you've linked or brush up on DCI and what can cause it or that we can follow every established 'rule' and still be susceptible...

    Florida Keys

    Welcome to ScubaBoard! I've dove with Capt. Gary at Conch Republic many times and have had a great experience each time! When one of my students mention going to the Keys to go diving I always recommend Conch Republic. You can't go wrong there. Besides, here he is already looking out for...

    Equalizing ears

    I was going to suggest just that Blue Sparkle. When I teach children how to dive many of them have problems equalizing. I always have them equalize on the surface (pre-inflate). I've never had anyone yet not be able to dive because they couldn't equalize. It may take a little bit of time...
