    Trip Report Trip Report, Fiesta Americana Feb 4 to 10

    Probably a 6-7 minute walk, with 2 staircases and crossing the road. Also there are no elevators at the Explorean, but you can get a ground level room.

This is sort of a mini-resort behind the main resort (jungle side) that is a little more geared to a quieter vacation. All accommodations are in 2...

    I sent some money to a friend on Coz. I used Xoom, with my existing paypal logon. (Haven't used it for years). I sent cash directly to a debit card.

    Aldora and 3 P's Reviews

    Couple of thoughts, The HP 120 is a heck of a sweet tank with great buoyancy/balance characteristics. The LP 100 or 120, not so much. I've done hundreds of dives in Coz with several ops, and the dive boat always arrives with the rig built up. At that point, every diver can check and finish the...

    Aldora: what I've been missing

    A note to the side mount divers, I've done a bunch of dives off an Aldora panga, roll off heavy ( no air in BCD), Twist onto my belly while kicking away from the boat. Immediately establish a positive descent, shake everything out to make sure it's still attached and join up with the group. Some...

    What is the worst place to eat?

    Point taken, I've haven't tried it for breakfast. Nothing better than 2 fried with bacon and sausage. I guess I'm not going to Coz for a good diner. I can do that at home. To each his own.

    How about Sunday evening at 7? La Choza? That group in 2010 was a great group of divers. Prop Joe, Suprane(sp?) and a bunch of others. Great trip. Anyone else in town interested in joining us?

    Sorry, ggunn, I guess I wasn't clear. I used the expression "go figure" to indicate that currents in Coz are in fact variable and hard to predict. Sorry about your confusion.

    Hi Sal, Yep, still in town until Wednesday, I did a beautiful dive on San Francisco yesteday PM with Sharif from Aldora, 80 minutes, 3 Splendid Toadfish. Very moderate current. Didn't notice the direction of the current, I'm afraid. You remember diving the east side in 2010?
