    Sudafed in Cozumel with prescription?

    If it was me I would take it in the packaging that it came in with the Dr label, but I would only take the number of pills that I need for the trip.

    How to (politely) advocate for more weight?

    I have fought this my whole time I have been diving. I could never figure out why it was so importance to other people if they thought I was carrying 5 extra pounds of weight, I mean I got a BC that will give me 35 pounds of lift. I have just gotten hard core and say "just give me the dam...

    My information is dated, but if it was me I would ask about dive shops in La Paz , then contact them and ask if they know about any crewed boats that I could stay on and they could come out an get you to go diving. Going out to the inland's would be a long ride each day but if you are already...

    First dive computer

    If you think about it why would any one get a conservative computer. I believe most liberal spectrum computer can be set more conservative but conservative computer can not be set more liberal.

    Am I being a wimp about these dive plans, or is this how you become a better diver?

    I have not read all the post. You did 12 dive 2 years ago, you need to do some easy dive first,(even if you did some refresher dives a month age.) to get use to all the stuff that is going on around you. It seem that people that get bent with no cause(?) seem to happen the first day of a...

    Question Cozumel Atmosphere

    Not sure how to say this, but everything you are thinking is true and everything you are thinking is false, think about that for a minute. Sounds like you have not done Mexico, the land of mañana, most people think that it mean tomorrow but in Mexico it means not now. Cozumel is going to be what...

    Sailboat gets in the way of Great Lakes freighter

    I can see this happing, I wish there was a little more vidio at the start to see where/what the sail boat came from or was doing. It looks like the sail boat was dead in the water at the start, did he just come out of a tack thinking he would be able to clear the tanker that had not started his...

    Follow up questions for woodworkers

    If the wood is in good shape just do the 220 grit, only use the low grit if you have marks/damage in the wood. I am a believer in more power so the palm sander works for me but hand sanding is OK.

    If you could live in Mexico for a few months...

    We have done both coasts. For 2 months with some diving I would do Yucatan. We did 3 weeks (not enough time) ( see trip report). I would base at Playa del Carmen, (if I was going to dive less 50% of the time) or close by(south) if wanting something smaller. If more diving then Cozumel. Taxi...

    Hookah from an anchored boat... Hookah from a float-based device... Hoo can share their experience?

    I was using an octopump, It was made by a one man shop with A GC 160cc Honda motor. He was located in the mid west. I just looked and it is no longer on the net. He use a release valve to control pressure. I still have it, was going to turn it into a air tool driver. have not run it for 6 years.

    Hookah from an anchored boat... Hookah from a float-based device... Hoo can share their experience?

    I love the idea of a fill compressor also but most small units take time to fill a tank. The last thing I wanted is to listen to a gas motor running all day. Living on a boat most of the time we were snorkeling. We were doing Sea Cortez and south for 6 months at a time in a 37 foot sailboat...

    Hookah from an anchored boat... Hookah from a float-based device... Hoo can share their experience?

    I would go with the two 100 foot hose( or four 50' ) but be sure you can connect them for a 200 foot hose if you ever need it.

    Hookah from an anchored boat... Hookah from a float-based device... Hoo can share their experience?

    We had a 37 foot sail boat. Tried the float but did not like it, just seem to get to much salt water on the unit. We ended up finding a way to mount it in the 10 foot inflatable dink 10hp outboard and we would pull the dink around so when we came up, the dink would be there. Being in the dink we...

    Safety? Bare Feet or Dive Boots on Liveaboard Decks?

    I like bare feet but dam it hurts went I stub my toes on something, and boat have a lot of somethings sticking up to help you out. Good old pair of dock sider are almost as good as bare feet. Also look out for sunburn on the top of feet.

    Flying @ 1500 ft after shallow dives

    I guess what I was thinking is that if I am diving at 2000 ft I could return to 2000 ft without getting bent. I guess it makes a different since I am start at 0 ft even if the computer is set for 2000 ft??? so have to wait 4:28 hours. Thanks
