I cannot resist the urge to plan my next vacation to Coz. Hearing of re-openings this week has caused me great eagerness to plan something. However, Toronto does not have direct flights into Coz until October at the earliest. I can't wait that long. I'm thinking of traveling maybe in July...

Our government has recommended to AVOID ALL CRUISE SHIP TRAVEL due to Coronavirus. This announcement will allow cancellation insurance to kick in and cover any cruise ship travel any Canadians might have (if you bought cancellation insurance). Not sure if it applies to liveaboards but I suspect...

I was reading that thread with interest last night and poof! I can't find it this morning. Whatever happened to that thread? Was it closed/deleted? Thanks.

Does anyone have recommendations for a reputable dive shop in Oahu? I'd prefer that it isn't a cattle boat that takes a lot of discover scuba divers on a tight schedule. I'd prefer something a bit more intimate, and a bit more relaxed, if at all possible. I know Kaimana Divers and Hawaiian...

Asking for a friend. Anyone can recommend a good dive shop in NYC to get OW referral course? Thanks.

It looks like a bunch of our friends are renting a villa in Phuket in March 2020 and we might want to tag along. They're generally not divers (maybe 1 other person can dive) so we may have to add on diving ourselves and do our own thing for a couple of days. I'm not going all the way to Thailand...

The thread I started, "How many hobbies do you have, other than diving" was moved to Non-diving related stuff > Surface interval. I can't access it anymore. Why? It was a pretty tame thread...

Hi folks! I just picked up a new hobby and find that it's stretching me in terms of time and finances, in light of my other significant hobby, which is of course, diving. Do you find it's the same for you, when you have to keep both hobbies "happy"? I don't want to give either up!

I'm thinking of doing an LOB on the Red Sea. From my research, most LOBs seem to leave from Marsa Alam/Port Ghalib (as opposed to Hurghada), at least the ones I've looked at, and in particular, the Aggressor boats that I'm interested in. I live in Toronto. I've done some preliminary research...

I think I want to go to Roatan sometime in October and to my knowledge, there will be no direct flights during this time. I think Air Transat starts their direct flights at the end of November, and we can't do end of November. My only options are 1-stop flights on Delta, United or American...

I don’t normally post stuff from Yahoo News, but I thought this one was uplifting and worthy of posting. Giant manta ray is seen 'begging' snorkeller for help I think they look more like freedivers.

I’m a proud Canadian today: Canada announces shark-fin ban in honour of ‘Sharkwater’ filmmaker

I’ve been to Coz several times now, and I’ve been elsewhere as well. I’m starting to tire of the “rush rush rush” of the Cozumel diving experience. I don’t mean the actual diving is rushed, although sometimes the currents are too fast for my liking and I can’t stop in one place and admire fish...

My mask broke. Where can I buy a mask in Coz? Preferably the Scubapro Frameless or Hollis equivalent. I know these fit that’s why. https://scubapro.johnsonoutdoors.com/masks/masks/frameless-dive-mask Otherwise, others I’ll have to try and hope for the best. Thanks.

https://ca.yahoo.com/news/ban-whale-dolphin-captivity-poised-200241117.html An animal rights/conservation win, but since so few establishments in Canada still have captive dolphins and whales nowadays, the new law does not have wide application.

Just saw this video and noticed the GUE configuration has a 6 feet hose, not 7 feet. I suppose that’s for a recreational configuration? Interesting. GUE Configuration vs. Jacket-style Configuration

WTF! Why are there adult ads on SB? And NO! I did not make any suspect searches! :mad:

Do you use slates to communicate underwater? Or do you just rely on hand signals? My husband and I have communication problems underwater (on land too but that's another issue altogether!). I'll be telling him one thing, and he thinks I'm trying to tell him something else. I think we have 2...

Recommendations for a good chicken place? I’d like to try one this time. Walkable from el Centro preferred.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a driver and tour guide for an around-the-island tour? We are two people and have always stayed in El Centro and dived. This time we would like to do a little bit of exploring outside that comfort zone. I’m thinking maybe San Gervasio, Punta Sur, east side...
