I recently did Aeromexico via MEX to COZ and it was great. Nice to get customs/immigration out of the way on the layover for a super quick exit from the airport upon arrival in Coz. You’ll definitely want to have at least 2.5-3 hours for the layover. Aeromexico doesn’t make you pick up checked...

I agree and I’m happy to pay more than $27. I’m just wondering, for the locals/regulars, what would you expect to pay for this ride? Maybe it’s $100p, I really don’t know and that’s why I’m asking.

What should I expect to pay from Casa Mexicana to El Moro? The old rate card says 27 pesos. I’m hearing 100 from every driver I ask and they say the official rates are only for locals. When I try to negotiate down they laugh and are happy to let me walk away.

Any word on port status this morning?

Question for my fellow Geo 2.0 owners: if I last changed the battery about two years ago but only have 15 or so dives on it since then and it is not showing a low-battery indicator, am I safe going on a small dive trip (~10 dives) without changing the battery, just bringing a spare with me and...

How are we feeling about Friday and Saturday? This is in knots.

Thanks, folks. 80-81 is 5mm territory for me so that makes for an easy decision!

Thanks - I've seen that but have also experienced water temps being outside of these ranges on past trips, so it's always helpful to get some on-the-ground intel so I can pack the right suit.

Anyone in Coz at the moment who can report what water temperature is this week?

I have a brief and rare window for a dive trip in mid-April. My default would be Cozumel, which is always great, but wondering if there's somewhere else that would fit my requirements for a change. Requirements: Reachable from San Francisco in 1 day of travel (which unfortunately rules out...

My wife and I will be in Cabo Pulmo for a few days in early December. She's hoping to do some snorkeling on the 3 mornings that I'll be out diving. Are there places around Cabo Pulmo where there's good snorkeling off the beach that is reasonably safe for solo snorkeling (no strong currents...

They didn't specify the reason they couldn't put me with other photographers other than saying it's impossible at this time of the year (I'm guessing due to being highly booked with less flexibility). As far as site availability, this was the response: "Personally, I would advise you to avoid...

Giving this a bump - would love any additional advice. I've reached out to a couple highly recommended Cabo Pulmo dive ops and they seem to be basically urging me to NOT come in October/Nov because they say it will be very difficult to get to the best dive sites and impossible to put me in a...

Hadn't thought about it - I'm in the Bay Area so can fly direct to SJD but not to Loreto and one flight is vastly more appealing than a layover in LAX with what a mess air travel is these days, but I'm open to it. How does Loreto diving (especially for wide-angle photo) compare with Cabo Pulmo...

Would love advice on how to split up 5-6 diving days in the southern Sea of Cortez this fall. How many days would you spend in Cabo Pulmo vs La Paz (and maybe Cabo?). And any advice on dive ops that would be good for a photographer - either a private guide or an op that could put me with a group...

I use an Oceanic Geo with the PZ+ algorithm, which is considered more conservative than the other option, DSAT. I've read through a number of old threads on the board and there seems to be a consensus that PZ+ is equivalent to a GF Hi of about 85%. Subsurface lets you set any GF Hi that you...

Oh no! That is just so sad to hear. The early morning dive with the bumpheads in late 2019 is one of my top diving memories - peaceful, still, nobody else in the water with us but those huge fish. I'd think the local dive ops would've handed out cash to locals if it would have kept people from...

Yeah I have tried and failed to figure out what is new about it other than the cosmetic stuff. They don't seem to have a side-by-side comparison chart of the Perdix 1 vs 2 which makes me suspect there's not much new. I'm still waiting for the Peregrine to get AI...I don't need all the tech...

Wow, most boats in Coz don't carry THAT many divers, it is hard to imagine how nobody on the boat would've noticed they were three people short after ending the dive - even if the crew failed to do a basic headcount which is inexcusable. If this is all true, why hide the name of the op? If they...
