I'm a tycoz man, best lunch for $1.50, use the money saved for a fancy dinner. Bring condom catheters with you, they are pricey in Mexico, Protec has them for I think $3 or so but if they are out and you have to go to ZG they are $5 each!

I dive dry in Mexico and recommend it if you are taking a course, the guys at Protect will have you in the water a long time and you will definitely be able to concentrate better if you are not shivering with cold. Who are you doing your course with?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not necessarily saying that he's overcharging, I'm saying I can't afford it. The fact that it's mandatory, it leaves me no other choice where as in other places I can choose to dive without a guide, or I can mix in some guided diving with some unguided diving. My comments...

For many it's not a lack of interest, but cost. the guiding fee alone is $350 a day! Then you add accommodation, food, and flights. So every time I think about doing a week cave diving in Bahamas I end up changing my mind because I can spend a month or more cave diving in Mexico for the same...

A bottom timer just gives you depth and time information, you have to do all the deco calculations on your own. A dive computer will do that for you based on the algorithm it's programmed with including calculation of your residual nitrogen levels based on your surface interval. You are choosing...

Interesting, I wonder if this is new, when I emailed them last year they wouldn't ship to me.

They don't sell or support the North American market at present. If you go onto a euro based forum you might be able to pick one up used but personally I would buy something that you can at least get support for. In your price range you really won't find much of an upgrade from DG03, my...

This is what I use, it's a roll so it's easy to take on trips as well, and covers most of my needs. I also have spare o rings and a pick that go in there too.

I use world nomads and am very pleased with the service

Not sure if you are joking but just in case, Waterproof is a brand.

Here is a picture of how I do it and I dive it dry with no problems. The small bungee keeps it in place and the knot makes it easy to find and grab. Just make sure you pull them up before putting the wing on so they don't get trapped below the wing bungees.

I stayed in the railway carriage that the mine converted into a hotel room, it was quite comfortable and a lot of fun.

I see them from time to time on eBay, I think that's your best bet although I'm not sure they are worth what people ask for them. $150-250.

There are numerous options on airbnb, you can go from renting a room in someone's house or renting the whole place. When you do the search it gives you the option to select. If you are not comfortable with renting a room in someone's house you can click on the option for whole house and it will...

Look on airbnb. I rented a small house in playa del carmen for $$950 a month. You can find deals for less depending on size, location and features.

Thanks for the info, I was unaware. Out of curiosity who is the owner now?

There are plenty of good cave instructors out there, spread out over several agencies, GUE included. I am not a GUE certified diver and even I'm sick of people trotting out the "they think they're better than everyone else" crap. Maybe 20 years ago, but GI3 has been out of the scene a long time...

I think the recommendation is if you haven't dove in 12 months you should take a refresher, and if you haven't dove in 3 years you should redo the course even though your cert is still valid. I can't remember where I read that though. GUE is the only agency which requires you to do dives to...

I usually go with American Car Rental only because they include the insurance in the price which saves me a bit of a headache and hassle.

There is a scuba swap that happens in the spring, that's the closest thing I can think of.
