    what to take for ears that won't pop?

    I will be a second time diver soon and the first time I had a devil of a time popping my right ear. Someone gave me some pills and I already forgot what they were, maybe some kind of sudafed? Anyways , after taking these pill, I was able to equalize both ears just fine. Can someone tell...

    Panic won’t let me dive

    He slept in and hung out at resort. It was raining steady all morning. He’s not a happy camper right now. He got stung by a jelly on our snorkel at punta Sur yesterday. And it is getting more and more painful and swollen . Got some meds for him. I offered to pee on his leg but he...

    Panic won’t let me dive

    Just got back. I’m hooked. Not the best diving day, raining all morning , rough seas, some big currents underneath, but it was beautiful. Now if I can learn not to blow a tank in 30 minutes. Lol! Chuck was great and so was Pedro, the DM on the boat. I felt safe and secure. I’ll be...

    Panic won’t let me dive

    Well what can I say? A dreary morning turned into a wonderful day. Chuck came over and we went to marine park and got set up with gear and we spent the morning shore diving. He helped gain my confidence back. Super nice guy and like you all, so helpful. How lucky am I today? The...

    Panic won’t let me dive

    Chuck and I hooked up and he’s looking at another dive shop as we speak to rent gear and take me out on shore dive. What a great community this is. Thank you for all of your advice. Rick

    Panic won’t let me dive

    I’ve never panicked in my life. I am 57 and in great health and shape. I love the water and swim often. I have snorkeled for years when the panic sets in all I can think about is escape to the top. It’s like something takes over my conscious control

    Panic won’t let me dive

    Did my certification back in January in Monterey. Wasn’t easy for me. Had a bad event early on regulator exchange with buddy. He handed his to me upside down, I grabbed it and suck in a mouthful of seawater. Freaked out and shot to the top. It was only 15 feet but it was a horrifying...

    Did i mention how much I despise the airlines?

    Hi everyone. I just checked this thread for first time in a couple weeks. An update: I've been on the phone for hours at a time and multiple days with both Expedia and AA. One thing I have learned from all of this, I will not book international vacations with an online site anymore. I...

    Did i mention how much I despise the airlines?

    I booked a package deal through Expedia months ago for a week in Cozumel for two. Originally scheduled for April 18th for a week stay. I was and still am terribly excited to do some diving as I was recently certified back in February. Staying at Hotel Cozumel and was probably just going to...

    Who has booked thru Bookit.com recently?

    I have never ever seen a better deal on Bookit than what Expedia (expedia, Travelocity, orbitz) offers. They were never even close. Bye bye bookit.

    Dive Paradise or Tres Pelicanos

    The package through Expedia does not include the dives. Like I said, flying from little old Fresno to the Riviera maya is quite pricey. About $650 roundtrip per person. Where are you flying out of? I tried multiple travel sites, Orbitz and Travelocity are actually owned by Expedia and...

    Dive Paradise or Tres Pelicanos

    Yes, the $2300 includes the air fare. It isn't cheap flying from Fresno to Cozumel. I'm sure over half of the total is for air fare. I'm sure I will be hooked once I get down there. I don't think I will ever stop snorkeling though. It's so easy to just jump in and look/see. There's...

    Dive Paradise or Tres Pelicanos

    Thank you all for the replies and advice. I think I will just go for the convenience that Dive Paradise offers. Prices seem to be the same as 3P's. Also, my dive buddy is a veteran diver so i feel like I will be in good hands without hiring a private master. I checked out the 7 day dive...
