    In home (condo) chef recommendations

    We’re thinking of having someone cook a night or two during our stay in May. It would be for 4 adults. We would love local cuisine and they can cook in the condo or bring it, whichever they prefer. I would like it if they spoke some English, but that is not a deal breaker. Any recommendations?

    Delta just cancelled my flight from Atlanta in May - Arrrrrgghhh

    So I just happened to be perusing my Delta app and noticed my flights to CZM were not showing up in May. We were going to be flying in on a Wednesday and out the following Thursday. But poof! They’re gone and have been cancelled. Anyone know if this is a temporary thing? There are flights...

    Map of Cozumel for framing

    I would like to get my wife a map of Cozumel, suitable for framing, for Christmas. However, the ones I find on line are either too much detail, or too little. I'm being Goldilocks here. Something in the 16x20 ish size would be ideal. Example of too much going on below. I'd be okay with this one...

    "Non-Economy" Dive Trip - What would your best trip look like?

    I see quite a few "economy" based questions for Cozumel diving. And I do love diving Coz due to the value I get for a dollar. But if you weren't on a really tight budget, and you could stay where you want and eat where you want and dive with whomever you want, what would that look like? We...

    Trip Insurance...is this a loophole?

    I'm already a DAN member and have the guardian plan. So I'm doing the "instant quote" thing on the DAN website and if I put in the cost of the trip at $1, I can get the highest coverage for a rate of $52. I'm not really worried about insuring the cost of my trip as I could most likely get...

    Need a bouji spa

    Any recommendations for a nice spa for my wife? We usually stay at El Cantil, so something in town would be best. She is not interested in a full body massage or having those fish nibble the dead skin from her feet :vomit:. She would like a: Manicure Pedicure Facial Foot massage etc. Thank...

    Leather goods recommendation?

    We are in Cozumel now, and my daughter would like to find a nice leather bag. I told her I would ask the good folks of scubaboard to see if anyone had recommendations. Shopping for leather goods is just not my thing. Any recommendations?

    Sargassum update?

    My wife is on Instagram, and saw the below image earlier today. And this has me wondering if anyone has a current report. If so, could you please post your findings?

    Anyone used Vuity eye drops?

    I need a little help with readers, as in occasionally I use 1.5 magnification glasses. My eye doc gave me some Vuity samples, but the price is prohibitive for daily use. I’m thinking the drops would be great for diving. Has anyone used them?

    Subsurface GF variance

    Please forgive me if this has been answered, I've been away awhile. I did a quick search, but not really even sure how to ask this properly. Do you see how the GF low and High shows GF 45/95 on the left? This is the setting of my Teric. And then do you see how the GF in the top middle of the...

    Delta Airlines to Cozumel?

    I’ve seen references in a few threads of Delta cancelling flights into Cozumel, with no plans to begin flying the route again. Could someone please post a link to this information? I’ve tried googling it, but can’t find anything official. For the last few years, my wife and I have been flying...

    Skydiving with Teric

    The pressure increase of a free fall does not fool our Terics into thinking you just went on a shallow dive. It would have been cool if it had. Y'all know what scuba diving and skydiving have in common? When you run out of air, you're screwed.

    Why no hands?

    I had an interesting discussion with my son about this, so I'm interested in seeing what you think. I admit, I don't like seeing divers flailing along with poor finning technique, or overusing their hands. But my son had some interesting points: 1) Fish, dolphins, turtles, etc all have front...

    Regulator Service notes

    I sent several regulator sets in for service and they have since been returned. (Y'all don't forget to send notes with your items to be serviced so Deep 6 knows what to do upon receipt). When returned, there were some handwritten notes on my list of items..specifically 3 of my first stages had...

    Driving Solo and staying entertained

    Nope, it wasn’t a typo. I have a 12 hour drive coming up in a few weeks in order to take some training classes. So how do you stay entertained on a long drive? Typically I will listen to a movie, or audio books, and wear out all my friends on phone conversations. Any audio book...

    Help with our 30th Anniversary trip....

    In May of 2020 my wife and I will be celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary. (Thank you, thank you! I chose wisely :wink:) We’ve been to Cozumel several times over the last few years, and have really loved it. It fits our requirements very well, but we are open to other ideas. We’ll likely...

    HBO & Game of Thrones in Coz?

    This is not "scuba" related, but it is Cozumel related and hopefully there are some fans who can help/advise. My family and I will be in Coz for the week beginning May 18th. Well, if you're a GOT fan, you know the final episode is airing May 19th! Our condo doesn't have HBO and neither HBOGo...

    Teric & NDL obligation...

    Not that I’m advocating diving beyond your NDL, I’m just asking... If you push your Teric (or I suppose any shearwater product) past NDL and now it’s telling you that you should deco for X minutes at 10 feet.. 1) Should you go to your safety stop depth of 20’ and begin your safety stop...

    Halcyon Black Friday sales?

    I'm in the market for a Halcyon BP/W. Does anyone know if any of the dealers have sales on Black Friday? If so, I'd love to know which dealers to keep an eye on this Friday. Or, if anyone has a gently used Evolve 40, I'd be willing to discuss terms.

    Atlanta to Coz direct via Delta

    I just thought, as a public service announcement, I’d let y’all know round trip airfare is $500 for ATL to COZ. It’s $440 if you don’t mind basic economy (no seat assignment). This is for a few Saturday to Saturday flights in May 2019. This is as good as I’ve seen it for a direct flight. It...
