    Accomodations near Fonatur?

    Planning to dive with Martin. They are leaving out of Fonatur now (due to COVID). Was looking at staying in town for proximity to restaurants (and was an easy bike ride to Martin's regular shop), but that's likely out unless I want to rent a car or take a cab back and forth each day. I prefer...

    Cozumel - any experience staying at Residencias Reef?

    Looking at VRBO/Airbnb options, this seems to be one of the higher rated and nicer stays in Cozumel. I'm going with my two young sons so while not looking for a 5 star resort, I would like to stay somewhere nice with private beach/pool & wifi and this seems to tick all the boxes. However it's...

    Weight question

    Just bought a BC with integrated weight pockets. Always used a belt in the past. Wondering what weight size increments most folks buy. Should I just buy a bunch of 3's and 4's? Maybe a few 1's for trim?

    Getting back into it after a long layoff

    Just got my 12 yo son certified so we can dive together in Grand Cayman in Dec. Now he knows more than I do. I haven't logged a dive in over 5 yrs and wondering what's the best way to re-acclimate myself. Should I just read the PADI course material I bought him? Could I jump into an advanced...
