Even though I have many dive trips to Coz, and I do log my dives, I am still not sure what to say when the DM asks,”Where do you all want to dive today?” Of course, there are a few dive sites that are easy to remember such as Devil’s Throat, Barracuda, Santa Rosa wall etc. Is there a quick...

I have a bunch of scuba gear that I can bring with me to Coz in early June and donate to a local worthy cause. (Not a Dive Op...) Some of it is brand new and has never been used. (Dive Rite BP/W that was a raffle prize). I have some ScubaPro fins, masks, snorkels, compass, slates, DSMB with...

Reading the latest thread about the witnessed down current fatality in Cozumel, (Tourist lost - Cozumel) I was wondering if anyone here has actually experienced a true DOWN CURRENT incident, and more importantly, how did you survive it? I have experienced "out currents" in Cozumel, but never a...

I had my SP Evo S620 regulator serviced recently by an authorized SP service center. I do it annually, regardless. I now notice a loud "shrieking" noise when I inhale. It breathes just fine, but the noise is annoying. The SP service guy said it was normal and would eventually stop. Is he...

I have been here for 5 days and my observation has been that the visibility is a lot less than I am used to seeing (No pun intended...). I am guessing that is why we haven't seen the usual larger critters, with the exception of a Bull shark at Punta Sur. I did see a couple of Spotted Rays today...

US to Drop COVID Testing for Incoming International Air Travelers

I tried contacting Tusa's "Customer Service" by using the link on their website to get info on replacing a mask buckle that fell off during a dive. (Another story for carrying a spare). After a few days with no response, I sent a 2nd inquiry via email (info@tusa.com). After a few days, I...

For my last 3 Coz trips, I have had the pleasure of getting to know a very reliable, honest, and safe taxi driver by the name of Emmanuel Caamal (Taxi # 283). This past trip we stayed at Residencias Reef in the south and as you may know this can require a few trips into town for restaurants...

For the past few years, I have had issues with water in my ears after diving. It did not matter if it was a shallow (40 ft) or deep (80+ ft) dive. After my dives, I have a clogged sensation in both ears and it oftentimes progresses to a feeling of dizziness or even vertigo. I tried using the...

I had the battery drain issue so I sent it in for service and now the issue is gone. I now note that my post-repair Teric dive logs have a couple of crazy dives logged now. I assume it was from the repair testing procedures. (Deco dives to 250' with no deco stops...LOL). How do I delete these...

Royal Caribbean Restart: A Concise Ship-By-Ship Guide (Cozumel Info) Royal Caribbean Restart: A Concise Ship-By-Ship Guide

I see this a lot with various Dive-Ops for certain dive trips and I have always been curious as to what it really means. I have posted an example from Aldora in Cozumel. MX. There are many other Dive-Ops who have this "requirement". So, what exactly does "Advanced Divers Only" mean or...

Title says it all... My son wants to go to the "dark side" like his Dad and dive with a BP/W. (SS/Single/30#) He is a F/T college student so his diving is limited to summer & spring trips to Coz/Grand Cayman with me. I prefer Big Blue H, but I am absolutely open to all reputable brands/setups...

I dove with my Teric and Perdix AI using a single transmitter. I noticed all throughout the dive that the Teric showed my depth to be ~2 feet more than my Perdix when I descended below 15'. I made sure I was holding my arms parallel to each other too. I know 2' is not a big deal. Anyone else...

Anyone have pics or can describe using surgical tube to bungee mount a Teric to a forearm/wrist? I thought a saw an aftermarket setup here someplace. Thanks

I am optimistic about Coz reopening, as well as my surgically repaired shoulder getting back to normal ROM by mid-August. I booked (rescheduled) my Coz trip for mid-August as an extra incentive to stick with PT and accelerate my rehab. Of course, the MX gubmint needs to cooperate and the new...

The Covid pandemic caused the cancellation of my April two-week dive trip to Cozumel. I was planning to reschedule and go in July or early August IF things got back to normal, or reasonably close to normal. I also was also planning to do GUE Fundies when the timing was appropriate. This...

My neighbor gave me a free Luxfer AL80. It was manufactured in 1998 and had it's last hydro expire in 2003 along with the VIS. It has had air in it the whole time it sat in a garage. It is in great shape. The yellow paint has hardly any chips or scratches. She said that she lost the desire...
