    Best way to pack up Perdix AI in its case?

    I unpacked my Perdix AI and, after playing with it, updating the firmware, and setting up screens, I went to pack it back up safely in its nice little case. I realized that the case seems enough bigger than the computer that I think the computer would rattle around in there. That, and I...

    Cozumel Restaurant Magnum Opus Updated

    I've just finished the semi-annual update of my Cozumel restaurant recommendation and review pages, to the extent that they're ever really finished. This list is not intended to include all, or even most, possibilities. Each listing is a place I can recommend from personal experience, so...

    Source for CO "bump" (calibration) gas in Mexico?

    We have a cootwo analyzer that lives in Mexico and is due for carbon monoxide calibration. In order to do this I need a standardized reference gas. OxyCheq has a nice, inexpensive calibration gas available, but that is not the sort of thing I would want to try to transport on an airliner, nor...

    Super-cheap flight in January 2018

    My brother just scored a round-trip flight in mid-January 2018 from BWI to CZM (with a stop at ATL) for $250. The actual fare is $134, so over half of the total cost is taxes and fees. It's a Delta flight codeshared with Aeromexico. I have no idea whether it's still available or what you have...

    The lengths to which I'll go...

    ... to avoid making good on my offer of a daiquiri on the terrace to cvchief. About 13 hours after I landed I was hospitalized at Costamed with a 5 mm ureteral kidney stone. I was actually only in for around half a day before I was discharged to home. Between ureteral colic and the pain meds I...

    Imaginary Daiquiris

    After nearly 8 months off-island due to some family awfulness, I'll finally be back in a couple of days. My daughter's birthday is soon, and I can't be here at that time. I'm not sure I'll be diving because my knees seem to have aged disproportionately relative to the rest of me and it's not...

    Is there a better way to manage "roll call" threads?

    I've recently started and managed a couple of "roll call" threads, which has got me to wondering if I'm Doing It Wrong (tm - all wrongs reserved). My impression is that as a normal user I can't edit my original post once it has replies. Thus, I keep posting replies to the thread as members pipe...

    July 2016 Thread. Or Did I Miss It?

    Tried searching. Yes, I'm planning to leave New Hampshire, when it's typically very nice in early July, to head to the tropics where it should be toasty and muggy. It'll still be Cozumel. If I manage to survive diving week after next, I'll probably plan to spend as much time as possible...

    Who's collecting toys?

    Does anyone know who's collecting toys for 3 Kings Day? We've got a carful and can deliver them wherever. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    No December 2015 thread? Really?!?

    Maybe there's a thread for those planning to be on Cozumel in December 2015. If so, my search-fu is weak and I apologize. If there isn't already one, I guess this is the place. mstevens, wife, and parents 12-20 December Casa Suzana Non-diving trip, most likely

    Google Street View... of a Cozumel Reef

    I'm certain someone must have posted this already, but I can't find a thread. Google Street View includes a Cozumel reef. It's a bit hard to tell, but I think it's in the Palancar vicinity. Check it out here.

    Local sources for reference carbon monoxide?

    I expect to have a carbon monoxide meter around the end of the year since DiveNav's cootwo Kickstarter was rapidly funded, met its stretch goal, and the team involved has successfully launched other products. Now I realize I'll need calibration gas for the meter. If I were to use it in the US I...

    Good snorkeling vest with zero inherent buoyancy?

    I guess it's time to buy snorkeling vests since more and more places in Cozumel require them and the rental or loaner ones are awful. On SI days or when we have guests we like to go to the beach and snorkel, and that's where we run into the need for vests. I'm buoyant enough as it is that I...

    "Divers' Plan Local"?

    So, Swim For The Reef says they've arranged all sorts of discounts with Cozumel businesses for people with C-cards in hand. Some are quite decent, and one or two significantly exceed what a "real" Plan Local card would get you (50% off at Casa Mission?!?). There are quite a few hotels, dive or...

    Kastacan?

    Where on the island can I get kastacan (sort of like carnitas made from fatback)? I'm particularly interested in tacos de, rather than by the kilo.

    DAN Scuba-opoly

    I somehow managed never to have heard of DAN Scuba-opoly until just now. I saw some of the property cards on eBay and realized that, at least for Version 2, they're Cozumel hotels and dive shops. Needless to say, I need one of these more than I need air. Can anyone tell me about the different...

    Just booked a $279 round-trip to CUN from New England

    I just noticed Southwest Airlines dropped their prices for my dates in September. $131 outbound from Manchester to Cancun connecting in Baltimore. $148 returning. Times are fairly decent: land at CUN before noon, depart CUN at 2 PM. I rebooked for the exact same itinerary as I'd purchased 9 days...
