    Based in their current progress, Carnival 2025 might even be a stretch! I was told they would be past Guido's by the end of August, but they haven't even started that section yet.

    First BPW assembly issues

    I would ditch the book screws and just use two regular STA bolts. Center hole on your BP through the webbing grommet and top hole in your wing. You may need to pre-soak the webbing to stretch it into alignment. If you are not using an STA, then you may also need to play around with bolt lengths...

    Iberostar vs Westin

    The Westin does the upscale high-rise hotel thing pretty well, while the Iberostar is more of what I think of as the "AI" experience. The Westin is about as far away from the popular marine park sites as you can get, but they are all mostly a short ride from the Iberostar. The Westin is WAY...

    Aldora Blackwater Week

    Normally most of the divers are not photographers. I took my camera the last time I went, but was so mesmerized by what I was seeing that I did not want to miss anything, so never even turned it on.

    Question Where to buy AA lithium batteries for Perdix 2 in Cozumel?

    Looks like SAFT are supported and have the best battery life, but poor cold water performance. Based on Shearwater's info they look more like the option of last resort, since apparently the vibration and fuel gauge functions will not work either.

    Question Where to buy AA lithium batteries for Perdix 2 in Cozumel?

    My Perdix 2 exhibits similar behavior where it indicates a full battery on the surface, but reads a lower level during dives, then goes back to full again later. I always start with a fresh set of the recommended type and on the latest firmware, and so far it has made it through every trip...

    Question On Island Dive Op or Instructor for SDI Solo (hopefully with dual PADI Self-Reliant) and TDI Intro to Tec?

    Pretty sure their price includes dives, but any e-Learning/materials are probably a separate fee.

    Liang Chen is the PADI course director with Aldora Divers and is outstanding. Reach out through the shop, I'm sure she can help: Aldora Dive College

    Presidente/Aldora timing?

    Aldora leaves from their main dock location in town @ 7:30am then proceed to pick up other drivers. The Presidente is about 4 miles south of town so shouldn't take long, but would depend on what other pickups they have before yours. The time of your returns could vary depending on what sites you...

    Interesting fun or unique dives

    I have dived it solo many times back when it was called Clear Springs Scuba Park. They changed management in 2018, but have not been there recently so can't speak to their current policies: https://www.scuba.com/blog/clear-springs-scuba-park-texas/...

    100 or 120cf tanks in Coz?

    Been enjoying the newer steel HP117 tanks that Aldora added to their lineup. Seems these are mostly the standard-issue tank now. Shorter but slightly bigger in diameter, and feel lighter too. Seem to be pretty similar performance to me, just in a more manageable compact package.

    Gear Bag Recomendations

    I have been very satisfied with Stahlsac products. They have taken some pretty serious beatings over the years and proven very durable. Ironically, I discovered them after one of the shoulder straps failed on my brand new Mares bag during its' madden voyage, and ended up having to find a quick...

    Teric or Perdix 2

    No experience with the Teric, but absolutely love my Perdix AI 2. Great reliability, performance, and features; plus its super easy to use, and has a big clear display and customizable layout. This guy really likes the Teric, but has a few complaints too starting @ 9:00
