    Is it chilly in Cozumel?

    I'm in Coz now. It's not unseasonably cool, but it's been raining hard and the wind is blowing about 30 mph right now. However, the days have been warm, water temp has been about 80. I always bring a rain-jacket with a hood, and that's all I've needed. I was very happy to have it today. Based on...

    Need for drysuit speciality?

    I'll mention this incident and you can take it for what it is worth. It is not intended as advice. I know a guy who is a Dive Master and he is also a certifed Tech Diver. He was interested in using a drysuit, and got one on loan from a dive shop, sort of a "try it and see if you like it" deal...

    i tried to fly out today and i ended up being bent

    Thank you for posting, and I hope you make a complete recovery. As I was reading what happened to you, I was cringing at the memory of the day I did two 115 ft. dives only a few hours apart several years ago. Luckily, there were no consequences. Your experience, and the 80k price-tag that...

    Wide Angle for Ikelite 6095 housing

    I don't have your camcorder and housing yet, but I'm about to take the plunge. I've been very confused about the wide-angle set-up, and I've been doing some research. This is from Ikelite's page for the 6095 housing: "Special ports are available for use with the Raynox DCR-730 wide-angle lens...

    Water temp in Cozumel?

    Been in Coz for almost 3 weeks, and diving nearly everyday. My computer is reading water temp at 79 - 80. I get cold easily, but have been comfortable in my full-length 4/3 and a hood.

    Aqua Safari?

    I've stayed at the Safari Inn the last 3 times I've been to Cozumel, and have only good things to say about the hotel and the staff. There is free Wi-Fi, and it is fast and easy. The AC is always cold, and the water is always hot. Thankfully, there are no phones or TV. Because of the free...

    50+ year old divers

    There's a large resavoir (Lake Jocassee, SC) not far from my house. Being retired, I have far more opportunities to dive than most of the other divers I know. Basically, I started solo diving because I couldn't always find a dive partner when I wanted to go to the lake. I kept adding...
