Recently picked up a suit for my wife that also has the SI-5 glove system installed, but she wants standard wrist seals. I can’t find any information on the DUI site as to which wrist seals to use with the system. Any guidance?

The little hotel over Aqua Safari is the Safari Inn. I haven't stayed at the Inn, but have been diving with Aqua Safari on two separate trips. Really enjoyed diving with them.

I have stayed at Cozumel Palace and dove with Aqua Safari a couple of times. If you need rental gear, you should have no problem getting what you need from them. I definitely wouldn't rent from the LDS and then deal with the hassle and expense of checking additional bags.

Chankanaab is a great place to spend an afternoon or a day. I've gone on my last three trips to Cozumel. Nice beach area, easy snorkeling, zip lines, dolphin shows/experience, sea lion shows, tequila tasting, etc. Check out their website before you go; they typically have a discount coupon that...

Have a couple of friends that have stayed at CoCo View Resort a few times and have loved it. Thinking about making a trip there myself next spring.

The official opening date for the Whale Shark Tour season is set beginning June1, 2015 and the closing date of the season is September15, 2015. Anyone offering to take you outside of these dates is running illegal tours.

Not sure about courses, but we did use credits for our night dives.

I've stayed at Cozumel Palace twice and agree using their resort credit program for the diving is a great deal. AquaSafari runs a couple of boats a day, and generally match up similar experience levels on the boats. We had some new divers with us on the trips and they did a great job of...

For pistol grips versus canisters, I love my Princeton Tec lights. Wide bright beam. Shockwave LED is my primary and Torrent LED is backup/daytime light.

Sealife seems to have a pretty decent video light available in 1200 and 2000 You generally wouldn't use your color filters with a light - makes the subject pink.

No spreadsheet, but DiveNerd gas an online calculator. This blog steps through the calculation approach in detail. Write up is imperial versus metric, but may help you set up your calcs.

SportDiver had a nice article on calculating ideal weight. You our can find it here.

I've stayed at both La Toc and Sandals Grande and prefer the Grande. Unlike Halcyon and La Toc, the dive operation is on-site and you board from the resorts dock versus being bussed into town. The Grande is at the North end of the island, but you dive the same sites regardless. The boat ride...

I bought the Intova Sport HD II this spring and dove with it for a week in Cozumel. I also purchased the Intova red filter, which is a wet mount filter. I was extremely happy with the color and picture quality, as well as the ease of use and battery life. If you are using it below 15 to 20 feet...

Which resort are you heading to? My wife and I did our AOW at Sandals Grande Riviera in 2004. While the diving isn't the greatest in Jamaica, the dive staff was great (and at least we were blowing bubbles ;)). All of the Sandals programs have a 5 star PADI rating, and the "no pressure, no...

Thanks Tool Belt. What times of year have you been to St Croix?

Thanks DiverSteve for the quick response and details. We did a day trip on Grand Cayman a couple of years ago as a cruise stop and it's on the list for a return trip. Haven't hit T/C yet, but it definitely sounds like I should check it out.

My wife and I are planning a 10 day dive trip to the Caribbean around Christmas and want to try a new island. We have taken trips to Antigua, Bonaire, Cozumel, Jamaica, Key Largo, Key West, Nassau Bahamas, St. Lucia, and St. Martin, and will be headed to Grenada in the spring. A couple of these...
