    What's the deal with Cuban diving anyway?

    I don't have first hand experience but a friend who went to Cuba recently told me that he went diving in Havana and he had a good experience, he didn't tell me the name of the shop that took him but what he told me is that a bus picked them up and left the group by the shore and they did a shore...

    Best Yucatan Diving?

    Hi, Most part of the Yucatan peninsula on the Caribbean side has cenotes, I know of a couple that you can dive without previous experience. Other than Cozumel you can dive Plava del Carmen, Cancun, Isla Mujeres, Holbox and I'm sure there are some other places that I don't know about. Sent...

    My daughter's ashes

    Sorry to hear about your loss Mike, I understand what you want to do and think that you can make it, specially if you take the ashes outside of the park or to areas that are not easily accessible like Maracaibo (most operators won't take you there because is too far and too deep). The problem...

    D6i surface time

    I have had that same question and it seems to be a dark place into the computer calculations that won't be shown, it only advises you to extend the surface interval but not for how long. It would be very helpful if they showed this information. In my case it takes usually between 30 and 60...

    D6i surface time

    I don't have a D6i, mine is a D4i, and on that one after one dive a small admiration mark in a triangle icon shows that you should not star your repetitive dive yet. I also have the same issue with the surface interval timer, it goes over 90 hours. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    How you met scuba diving

    It all happened when an uncle showed some SCUBA gear and it got my attention because it was something unusual those days (mid 80's) I must have been 6 or 7 years old and curiosity lasted until a holy day vacation. There was this instructor at the hotel pool giving some Discover training and I...

    Thermoclines?

    Because of the strong current I have never experienced any thermocline in Cozumel. first years diving there I only used a Lycra skin but was cold in the second dive and bought a 3mm. It is ok but it can be warm for the surface interval. For the haloclines I have experienced one after some heavy...

    Going to Cancun for 7 days, would like 1 day of diving in Cozumel too.

    If you like wreck diving the Xicotencatl is a good option, but what I like the most about Cozumel are the walls. My favorite diving spots there are: Palancar Bricks Santa Rosa Colombia Punta Sur (they'll charge you extra for this one) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    how often do you charge?

    If it has a LiON battery there should be no problem. I've been looking for the specs but I'm not able to fins which kind of battery it uses. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    Cozumel, two weeks, mid-October 2013 (just a few weeks)

    The Presidente Hotel has a beach, it is an all inclusive, not bad but a bit old, I have not stayed there for a long while. I like the "B" hotel but no beach there, check it out www.hotelbcozumel.com Just for the record I'm in no way involved with the hotel, I just like it. Sent from my iPad...

    Where to stay in Cozumel? Recommended dive shops?

    Last time I was in Cozumel was in January and stayed at the hotel "B" (yes, just Be) it is on the north part of the island, it is small and quiet outside the populated area. I liked it very much. They also have a dive shop there (Scuba Du) but I went diving with Yolanda Ros, she takes small...

    Scubapro Gorilla replacement

    Last Thursday I was helping with a group of OW students and one of them got lost and I was told by the instructor to get to the surface and look for him (luckily the student just got confused and followed the wrong group, nothing to regret). The current was somewhat strong that day and I got...

    Scubapro Gorilla replacement

    Hi, I need some advice because one of my Scubapro Gorilla clips broke last weekend and if it is hard to get a replacement strap I can't imagine a clip, so in case I don't find one for the next weekend I might need new fins. I'm very used to my fins being short and stiff, they are easy to...

    What photo editing software do you use on a MS Windows platform?

    It all depends on what are you shooting and what you want to do with it. For me the best option is Photoshop Elements since I can use the RAW editor, also layers (I find them very useful) and you have a very good control, but it misses some features that Photoshop CS has that I don't know how...

    Las Estacas, Cuernavaca

    By nos you should be in Cuernavaca and you may know your way around, but in any case the best place to do any service to your gear is in Mexico City, it is just an hour drive and there are several dice shops with qualified personnel. Also you could go to Acapulco, it is farther away but there...
