Ehhh, 3P's or any valet dive shop will take care of you. Sometimes briefings get short because the people on the boat have 100's of dives with the DM. Tell them what level of care you want, that is what being valet is all about - it can be anything from hand holding 20 minute briefings to hey...

It's a touristy town yes in a way but not terrible. The hawkers - I hated it at first but after time it becomes background noise. The touristy part is from mostly cruise ship folks that leave the island by 5pm as the ships leave. That is one unique thing about the island, it's a much different...

I can't speak to Fiji, Cairns or Belize. I've dove Bahamas, St Thomas area, Jamacia, Caymans, Curaco then came here to Thailand - dove here in Similans, Phi Phi area then whent to Dauin. I lived in Cozumel for 6 years and had a dive business there for over a year. I think every dive destination...

There are Jr divers diving everyday that are depth limited - this should not be a problem for any dive shop to work with. The worst case scenerio is that you will need a private DM and every shop will offer that. Most all dive sites except for the extreme south have a shallow version or area...

There was a comment that the port was closed when this happened but I have no idea if that was true. Thru comments on FB, they want to hang the boat owner, port captain and civil service, generally saying the captain was only doing what he was told to do......

800, I edited the post to include price, doing too many things at once

Shearwater Perdix w/ transmitter used as backup - 158 dives - 800usd Located in Cozumel for the next few weeks, then will be in Asia

Just returned back after 3 month walk about - maybe it's just me but different vibes in Playa and here..... of course there was four shots fired in centro that might have something to do with that.....

Un freaking real - glad I'm gone or I'd be booted from the marina if not in jail. Welcome to Mexico, let's count the ways we don't want you here....

There's a set of doubles bands and valves at my house in the office - I'm selling everything to slim down for the big move.

It's not only Mexico but you can't ignore the direction things are moving there.... How much longer will things be allowed to deterioate......

You are bringing a lot of things already with the only extra thing being a wing.... How many dives you doing in Cozumel? Is it worth bringing all the warm water stuff verses just renting? I mean, goodness gracious, that wing takes up less space than one fin.........

Seen pictures of just the mast sticking out of the water - it sank

I'm just about as far away from the island as you can get but stories I read were one boat with customers and 10-12 people on it capsized downtown near Aqua Safari pier, just scared people pulled from the water. The second boat was a fishing boat - boat was up north, captain and crewman were...

I remember either asking this question or an offhanded reply about something similar got me roasted years ago. There is a ton of inaccurate information that you will hear, the key is to go directly to the authorities and ask questions - take a great translator with you and ask very specific...

I have zero faith that it will ever change. All the tools are in place to make the boating safe but they are consistently ignored or I suspect paid off. Why did my boat require 2 tourism nautical permits to operate, one for the south and one for the north - a requirement was marine park permits...

Ahhh, the difference of Pacific NW verses the Caribbean..............

Meridiano (one of the tank fill stations) has Aluminum 80 double sets, virtually any shop can request those tanks - ask the shop you intend to dive with ahead of time. I understand the idea of learning a new setup and the wanting to keep on diving it while on vacation but a singles wing isn't...

Did you ever meet up with Sallye? I had a few of those type lights and she bought them all with all the chargers I had.....

Went to Phi Phi and opted for the room with a view - omg - 220 steps up to my room!!! Never again, just stay at sea level!! I did dive Koh Haa, Hin Baba first day and Kings Cruiser, Sharkless Point and Mushroom Island the second day. Maybe living in Cozumel spoiled me but visibility the firsst...
