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

    How about the Dead in Egypt at the pyramids in 1978? That would be something.

    Was there two weeks ago and found it everywhere including Chedrui and I believe Mega.

    It does, but not impossible.

    Iberostar or Villa Aldora for family with non-diving kids?

    Tons of stuff like getting coco loco drinks (whatever those are) at the swim up bar. Watching Michael Jackson playing on stage at night. Eating all the cheesy nachos they want all day long. Great kids stuff. Like it was mentioned before, you can have your cake and eat it too…. Stay at Iberostar...

    Iberostar or Villa Aldora for family with non-diving kids?

    Having been to both myself, Aldora as recently as last week, I would say Iberostar as well. We took our two kids when they were thirtneenish or so and stayed at Iberostar, they still talk about it years later. I personally couldn’t imagine my kids at Aldora at that age. It’s a pretty quiet...

    Five tons of sharks seized by Cozumel Marine police

    Thank you for finding that. The article was very short and did not mention what will happen to those caught for “fishing without a permit”. I hate poachers

    Five tons of sharks seized by Cozumel Marine police

    So we were in Cozumel last week and diving with a local dive master. He told us that the Cozumel marine police seized five tons of dead sharks from somewhere near Puerto Morelos the week before. Not for sure but maybe they were caught in the coz marine park it sounded like. I cannot find any...

    Single tank morning dives?

    I just stayed at the Aldora in May and my wife and I used the tanks and weights to go right out front. We did this a few times for an afternoon dive and a couple of night dives. I have also snorkeled that whole shoreline from a very nearby condo over the last few years many, many times. There is...

    Bioluminescence Night Dive, which location has the most dazzling offering? Cozumel, Jamaica or Roatan?

    Did several night dives in Roatan, incredible amount of bioluminescence, including the String of Pearls. Very cool.

    Affordable hotel with decent beach and convenient for scuba?

    On our first trip to Cozumel in 2012, we stayed down south at Iberostar. It has a nice sand beach and most dive shops will pick you up there or at similar resorts in the same area. I believe Dressel divers may still be operating out of the resort? So if a natural sand beach is a priority, you...

    How to deal with the “coral breaker”?

    Ugh…. In my original post, I said I got pissed after I noticed him doing it a few times and then went over and directly told him to get off the coral. I DID do something. Also, I am not the “police of the ocean” and therefore didn’t run over to him on his first infraction. It was kind of an...

    How to deal with the “coral breaker”?

    What exactly is wrong with confronting someone who is blatantly disregarding the rules of the dive master, the rules of the marine park and the rules of basic decency. Again, I’m not talking about a newbie diver accidentally touching coral or a strong current situation that may accidentally...

    How to deal with the “coral breaker”?

    True, and I have thought about the destruction caused by my own diving and the industry as a whole. No doubt it happens, from flying, car travel, stress on local infrastructure. I tend to think or at least I hope that responsible diving has some positive attributes to the local area and...

    How to deal with the “coral breaker”?

    Very interesting responses, and very different ones! Definitely gives me some good ideas on how to deal with this guy in the future. Speaking for me personally, the live and let live philosophy is one that I would definitely like to strive to practice. And that would be great if it was...

    How to deal with the “coral breaker”?

    This guy knew because I motioned him up in a very aggressive stance, as aggressive as you can be under water without actually touching someone.
