Upper limit - icluding a non-diver - the really nice resorts were in the four figure range per night...
Just happy i didn't look that one up while at work :wink:
In the end we decided on TRS Yucatan, several days and Mexico City and then the Paradisus La Perla.
Any dive center...
Sorry for the missing details:
I’ve been to Cozumel before and was not really that happy with the diving. While nice it didn’t match what I was expecting (the water was probably too warm at the time - same as it will be during the end of June)
On the other hand I loved the cenote I was in. For...
My girlfriend and are still looking at options on where to stay in the Riviera Maya but slowly I’m getting burned out by reading all the bad TripAdvisor reports.
For the first part of the trip we’ve got our rooms booked but we’re still looking for somewhere to spend 6 day in the Riviera Maya at...
At least according to the reports (and the thread title) the couple were diving with an instructor (not just a guide). That's exact what every training agency tells you to do when going out into unfamiliar territory.
That instructor, despite his supposed superior knowledge and skill did not...
As previously posted, this was the criminal case - basically the fine means the that instructor found liable, but only to an limited extend.
The fine is so low since in german law, the income and the assets of the defendant are considered (he might have been sentenced to pay 100 days income)
In...
Any other recommendations?
With flights taken into account, SE Asia and North America are the logical destinations - anything you guys could recommend there? Or can you recommend a site to do a search based on what you want to see?
Edit:
Just to expand on my thinking a bit:
I can do...
Cocos (same as Galapagos and Socorro) is definitely on my bucket list. Unfortunately the dates don't quite work out for me - a ten day trip together with nearly 4 days of travel will only be possible again next year:cry:
I was looking at 7 day trips (plus travel-time) but for the really remote...
Currently planning my next dive trip for the last weeks of September or the first week of October and I need your advice
As usual I'm looking for acceptable weather and great diving and a good chance for pelagics. Which destinations can you recommend that time of year?
To date I’ve been diving...
There aren't that many reported accidents in Lake Constance (8 in 2013, 5 in 2014 with 2 deaths each year). But it's deep (820 feet) dark and cold - as are most of the lakes in the region.
Yes but...
Three countries share Lake Constance:
Austria with one Emergency capable chamber (in Graz) - which is in the South of that Country - nice if you've had an accident diving in northern Italy but not much use for most of the Austrian lakes (there has been a functioning chamber in Vienna...
We don't. Most of the western European newspapers (and the police as well) usually don't release those names - If they know it it'll usually be something like "John D." and even that might be changed if it is uncommon.
Same procedure happens in criminal cases - the name of the accused is not...
A bit more information in the announcement by the police (German again): POL-Einsatz: 88662 Überlingen, Überlinger See
Apparently there were 4 divers in two buddy teams which quite frequently lost contact due to the bad visibility. One pair of divers, aged 62 and 34, had a problem at around 130...
Überlingen: Tauchunfall vor Überlingen: Rettungskräfte suchen nach vermisstem Taucher - German only
According to the currently available information two divers got separated around 40 meters /130 feet. One diver surfaced, received first aid and was airlifted to the nearest chamber. The second...
I'm looking for a separate set of long sleeve and long pants to wear standalone while diving in warm water as well as under my existing 3mm wetsuit. Due to recommendations I stumbled upon sharkskin.
One issue I'm not really clear upon is the difference between the performance and the climate...
Vanuatu tsunami threat over after big earthquake hits islands
The report seems to indicate that the surface damage is limited.
How does it look underwater?
I’ll be in Cozumel (Allegro Cozumel with UDE) and then in Playa del Carmen (Royal Hideaway) from June 17th until June 24th. In Playa de Carmen I’ll do one day of Cenote diving, the whale shark snorkeling and relaxing; in Cozumel I expect it will be ‘regular’ diving.
What kind of suit do you...
