I just returned from Cozumel. I had a nagging anxiety about down currents ever since I read this- particularly as I was using nitrox on my deep dives. The currents we encountered this trip were pretty mild but on the last day at ‘eagle ray’ (they assured me that this is what they call this site)...

Hello- originally from Marin and did my certification dives in Monterey back in 1983, pretty much only warm-water diving since (I am a lightweight!) but the last few years, I have an itch to dive the Channel Islands if the planets align (need to be able to go at the window where there is a good...

I’ll look forward to meeting you! We are doing all AM dives, 3 of the PM dives and the night dive currently scheduled

I just got back from Los Cabo’s last night and I did 8 dives in Cabo Pulmo. They did not allow us to choose our dive sites. At the appointed time, we would walk to “the tower” (marine park office) and they would tell us where we COULD dive. I did; el cantilito, Los morros, pine’s reef, las...

On my way in a week to Pulmo for 5 days and CSL for 5. I’m awfully jaded, I hope it holds some surprises for me (GOOD ones)

This is a fantastic resource- thanks not only for taking the time to do the research and put it all together but for sharing it with us as well.

Yes and they didn’t take us there this time. It was a favorite from my first visit.

I just got back from a second visit to Turquoise Bay. When they had a buffet, the food was exactly as I remembered it: edible but not memorable. We happened to be there on a really SLOW week (only 6 guests) so they ended up serving meals a la carte from 2-3 options. The food was MUCH better when...

No. I got his name and number from someone at the diving museum there. Called and left a voicemail but he never called back. I ended up postponing the trip so I didn’t try again. I’m sure I will try calling him again when I am ready to go back. Hope that I can work it out. I would really like to...

I visited the Coron wrecks and Barracuda lake this summer as well but I was staying at Sangat Island and diving with their shop. The wrecks were stupendous, even with the lousy visibility and have made my current trip to Roatan seem very pale in comparison (and cold and wet in the wrong way- all...

I wish for your sake that that you could add another three days and go to Sangat Island in Coron area. It’s a great resort BUT the real reason one goes there is to dive the six LARGE Japanese shipwrecks from WWII. I’ve been diving for more than 40 years now and that was some of the most...

I was at the history of diving museum a year ago in Key Largo on my way out of town and I picked up a card for some guys who own a Mark V suit there and who will let people try it out for a fee. I found two reviews on Trip Advisor from last year but no other information. I get VM when I call...

Cenote Xperience was a great fit for me- we did one deep and two shallow dives and it was some of the most memorable diving I have done. When I return, I will definitely be diving with them again.

Yes, if I return to the keys, I will choose my dive operator much more carefully than the last time. Dive masters in the water can help make a routine dive memorable if they point out things that you may not find on your own.

My favorite is DiveLog (electronic) on my iPhone. It's the first dive log that I don't dread filling out and I love to go through and review my past dives. Highly recommended

I've always had this error at the top of the page. I decided that it must just be a header. My posts are all visible.

I was at turquoise bay about 5 years ago. One of the dive magazines had named it one of the top dive resorts in the world and that snookered me in. When I got there, I found that to be QUITE a stretch but I was happy enough with the place that if/when I return to Roatan, I will probably stay...

I generally have to do a very aggressive valsalva repeatedly when descending and on my last trip, my right ear gave me trouble on the lllloooonnnnnnggggg flight home (from Manila!). It was still pressurized an hour after I got home and I did just “one more search” on the internet for a tip on...

I have a Pink-lenses mask that I use for any dives over 30 feet. It is subtle enough that it doesn’t darken things noticeably but neither does it deliver the vibrant colors at depth that it promised. I have never taken a clear mask with me on a dive to compare them side by side (gasp- that seems...
