    This is the boat we saw coming around the cruise ships. The captain of the Aldora III was towing the capsized boat to shore. The passengers had already been pulled out but the crew of the capsized boat were hanging onto it. It was very rough in that area due to the wind direction.

    Water temps this week?

    I have a Lavacore hooded vest that helps some. I have lost a lot of weight since last diving in 80 degree temperatures. It's effecting me more than I thought it would

    Water temps this week?

    My computer showed up to 83 but everyone's Perdix that I have dove with says 80 max. I have been very cold after 30 minutes, I wish I had brought something thicker than a cheap 3/2.

    Heavy sigh...

    The port was closed yesterday and didn't open until a little after 8. The boats were stacked at the marina ready to go. On our way back in, just past the cruise ship there was a capsized boat. I thing it was a snorkle boat. All we saw was the hull with a single motor. It was being towed...

    MESS AT COZUMEL AIRPORT

    I looked at arrivals for CZM out of curiosity. It looks like they try to pack all the flights in during a short window. Today there are 8 international flights arriving between 12:55 and 15:06. A slight delay of a couple flights could easily make a mess. I always wonder why the 2 daily...

    My dive computer is too conservative, what can I do ?

    I have used a Vyper Novo as my primary and a Geo 2.0 as a back up for atleast the last 200 dives. I know this isnt ideal but it's what I have and I use the Vyper for AI. Sure the Geo gives me more bottom time but the Vyper does not hold me back. I have used it on a LOB with 25 dives in 5 days...

    Trip planning advice

    From My experience the boats pick up at VA around 7:40 and you start your dive between 8:30 and 8:45. I much prefer a boat ride than cabbing it to the marina.

    Hotel Cozumel or Casa Mexicana

    Vista Del Mar next to Casa Mexicana is not bad, you might be able to get an ocean view for a decent price, they provide a light breakfast. I second the recommendation for Suites Colonial. It's been a while since I stayed at Hotel Cozumel. The rooms sucked but nice pool and water access with...

    PdC ocean/reef dives worth checking out?

    If you want to get a quick five in and you are in PDC, it's an OK spot. All the dives are pretty close to town. The school of tarpon in my profile pic was taken there.

    How old do you plan to dive til?

    I was on a boat in Cozumel and lady stated she was going to dive until she was 90. I found out later she was 89. She only did the first dive of two and took a cab back to town.

    Roatan for Solo Traveler

    West End Divers has a webcam showing their dock. You can watch divers coming and going to get an idea of how full their boats are, at least now. I did a stay and dive package with them a few years ago and I enjoyed it. I was certified at Seagrape. They were good as well but I prefered...

    Is there such thing as a responsible whale shark excursion?

    Dive shops will just give a referral to a tour group that offers them. Even though there are quite a few boats going out but they are highly regulated. I went once and it was immpressive. There were hundreds of sharks out there feeding. You can't get within 10', no selfie sticks, 2 snorkels...

    Passport warnings, several...

    Did you elect expedited service?. I sent mine in a couple weeks ago, nonexpedited. I have not heard anything. I don't need it until April though. From what I have been reading on the web many are getting renewels back in about 3 weeks without being expedited.
