    Trip Report West End & 2 weeks at Spash Inn May 1-13

    After diving Coz for 20+ years and meeting many divers who were migrating up from Roatan through Coz on their extended regional dive trips Roatan had been on my radar for a long time. One thing that kinda put me off aside from the airfare and prior difficulty getting there the same day from my...

    Frog Fish on Las Palmas

    Again, I have to give credit where credit is due. I've been diving this island for 20? years and have only seen 1 frog fish and that was many years ago. Maybe others spot them all the time but I know DM's who have been diving this island for years and have never seen one. Anyway, my one and...

    The Mask Dr. on Coz

    I have to give credit where credit is due. If you're on this island and something fails and need anything from a rare battery to some sort of strap or connection where do ya go? I've always gone to Blue Magic scuba that seems to have about everything that can repair/replace whatever failed...

    Do watch out for the bug that is going around the island.

    Nah... No one ever gets sick on Coz... it's an island... it's virtually insulated from sickness. :wink: Yeah, right. Until you catch it and then you hear, "Oh yeah, there's a bug going around and 1/2 the island has been sick with it". Basically it's a strain of acute viral bronchitis that...

    Cheap Video Light & Mini Cold Shoe mount for TG's

    Just took delivery of this light and mini ball shoe connector. Light seems great with a high capacity battery and 3000 lumens on the highest flood setting (among others) with a 90 CRI ($80). The cheap mini mount ($12) could rust away over a 2 week trip as it's not UW rated but for $12 who...

    Got to thank 3P's and the Casa Mexicana...

    So one of my worst nightmares came true (again)... Getting sick or injured just before a dive trip. I managed to break my foot 36 hours before our flight down for our December trip. My Dr. told me that where this break of the 5th metatarsal was did not require a boot but to keep my weight off...

    The inmates are running the asylum.

    Just a heads up for all, if you use any form of heavier duty ziplock bag be it gallon size down sandwich size to keep things dry or God forbid in my case need some to pack with ice to ice an injury make sure you bring them with you. As you walk past all the nooks and crannies and electric...

    If you booked a trip with AA Miles... Check out the latest Miles Cost.

    We booked our December trip with AA miles in February of this year because we thought the cost of travel would skyrocket.. And it did. But the Delta variant has changed that over the past few weeks. If you booked with AA miles you can call them and cancel your reservation, have all miles and...

    I'm no YouTuber but this Coz trip report is worth watching...

    What I really like about this is they caught a 3P's dive boat hauling ass at the very beginning at the 0:07 mark with their drone. Very cool and the content throughout their production is fantastic in my opinion that covers a great deal of the island we love. It's worth a watch if you're bored...

    Go Fund Me set up for former Aqua Safari DM Chino...

    For those who may have been diving over the years with AS and had the pleasure of diving with Chino before his Dr. told him he couldn't dive anymore several years ago (lost hearing in 1 ear followed by 2 undeserved hits - diving takes a toll when one has racked up who knows how many dives over a...

    Better book your 2021 trips earlier than later.

    Maybe my situation is unique and others can comment but I started sensing that as more and more people are vaccinated diving Cozumel and other destinations are going to experience an incredible surge in business as 2021 rolls on. There is so much pent up travel demand that I sense will start...

    Did The Pub move?

    Someone on TA posted that The Pub vacated its location and has moved to the Villablanca Hotel as the property owner hiked the rent higher than was sustainable. Is this true? If so how can The Pub now be at the Villablanca?

    Am I seeing things?

    As I've been working my way through 755 photos taken over our recent Dec. trip to Coz I came across this photo as my wife was trying to capture a Painted Elysia in the green seaweed. She missed it in this photo and caught it in another but as I looked at this photo of nothing... Is that a very...

    Beautiful day. SE winds. Dead Calm. PORT CLOSED!

    Port closed at 10AM. Absolute incompetence. Wednesday there were white caps and it was blowing 12+ from the north when the port was opened after 2 days closed. What is going on around here? ‘Bout time for a new December destination.

    Be mindful of bees...

    A post from TA today (perhaps someone can confirm). Yesterday Africanized bees attacked a group of about 30 people who were visiting the Mansion de Paz cemetery in Cozumel, stinging them repeatedly. A taxi driver friend who was waiting nearby told me he never saw so many bees and was really...

    Pics of the tough-to-spot, tough to find and the rare.

    An idea for a thread. It would be cool to see pics of critters that are tough to find, rare, or freaks of nature. I've found that until I see something or someone points something out to me I don't know what to look for. Here's a Splendid. Nothing special about the Splendid but the tiny...

    5 Vehicles now firebombed on Cozumel? (4 were taxis)

    Things are getting a little "interesting". Did the local politician ever officially activate those state police that came to the island a few months ago? Somewhere I read that their activation had been tied up or delayed for financial reasons as the local politician wouldn't officially...

    OK... American Airlines / Barclay Bank sold me on this airmiles card.

    I'm not sure how many of you play the air miles card game. I use my Chase British Airways card for everything as I can use BA Avios for AA travel via the OneWorld alliance if I chose but on our December flight down AA was pushing the new Barclay Bank AAdvantage Aviator Red Card (not a Citi card...
