TURISTA SE DESCOMPRESIONA, Y SU ESTADO DE SALUD SE REPORTA COMO GRAVE Here is the translation: A tourist diving in the southern coastal area, in the Arrecifes de Cozumel National Park, suffered a serious decompression, and was helped by paramedics and transferred to a private hospital. Crew...

Last year Carnival was cancelled. I know that no one has a crystal ball, but does anybody have reason to believe that it will be cancelled again in Feb?

This is for you locals - do you think Carnival will go on as usual in February?

We are planning a trip to DR and thought Punta Cana would be a nice place to stay. We are avid divers, but this trip is really just a relaxing vacation, with maybe two days of diving. I'm now starting to rethink my accommodations and the possibility of staying in Bayahibe instead of Punta Cana...

Not sure if this is the right forum, but I purchased an Innovative T-2 toolpack from my LDS several years ago. I threw it into my dive bag, and really never looked at it. Now I'm changing some hoses and realize that it came with two 5/8" wrenches, and is missing the 9/16" wrench, which just...

I purchased Miflex hose along with the Atomic Jam Nut. I removed the swivel hose, removed the o-ring on the 2nd stage nipple, screwed on the jam nut, then the hose. The hose tightens up against the jam nut, but it feels pretty loose. I don't have a tank to pressure test, but will get it serviced...

From "Rally for Opal & Gabi & Heath's Recovery Scuba Mau" facebook page. Very sad news: With permission of April (opal's mom). Last night about 10:59 p.m. (est) Opal passed with family by her side. We knew the journey and fight for Opal would be a tough one and with sadness, we press on to...

Fireworks from a float caught the grass awning over the windows of Senor Frogs on fire. I video taped the whole thing, but the file is huge, so I don't know what to do with it! Parade was stopped for about 45 minutes while the fire department put it out. I don't think anyone was injured.

I have read the manual and the addendum and have tried everything it says to do to change back to normal mode without any luck. It also says that if you dive in Gauge mode you have to wait 24 hours and it will revert back. There has to be another way! I'm diving every day for the next week, you...

I'm planning my annual Carnival trip, and airfare from Kansas City to Cozumel is nearly $1000! I've been watching it regularly hoping it would drop, but instead it's been climbing! I've never paid more than $400! What's up with this?

I have been to Coz many times and usually stay at the Barracuda or El Cantil. I like being close to town and eating meals in town (not at an AI). Our next trip is during Carnival and the trip organizer has changed it to Hotel Cozumel! I enjoy being on the ocean. Is it a problem being on the...

My local dive club is offering two trips. One to Palau which is a liveaboard, and another to Dumaguette. I have never been to either and since this is a fairly costly trip I want to choose wisely. Those of you who have been to both could you please give me your opinions as to which has the best...

I know this has been posted before, but I'm having a hard understanding why there is no way to clear out past dives from the Atom 2 (or is there)? If you accumulate dives than download them into oceanlog wouldn't it make sense to be able to delete them from the Atom? Otherwise the next time...

Anybody know what happened to this? It was supposed to take place the same week as Dean went by. Did it get re-scheduled?

I recently took the SSI "Stress and Rescue" class and was curious as to the requirements. Our trainer required a score of 88% in order to pass the test and three of the five students failed on the first attempt. This seems like a high percentage (22/25), is this correct? Also is CPR/First Aid...

I know this has been discussed before and several of you have created computer based log books. What I'm looking for is something to enter the information that is found on the typical log pages and then be able to print out a page that resembles either the PADI or SSI log pages and stick them in...

I will be in Cozumel in February and would like to complete my Advance Open Water training through SSI. Is it possible to complete my classroom training in the states and bring a referal like I did with my Open Water or would it be easier to just do it all in Coz? I already have SSI Nitrox...

When I take pictures I take them using the highest resolution possible. Problem is that they are very large files. For example my typical photo has a pixel dimension of 3072 x 2304 @ a resolution of 180 pixels per inch. So I am trying to decide what to do to shrink them down, but maintain...

I will be in Orlando on business and want to extend my trip to do some diving. I assumed that the keys would be the place to go, but now I'm being told that West Palm Beach is also very good. So if you had your choice what would it be?

I purchased an Atom computer from my LDS. They let me use it in the pool and it flooded. My LDS returned it to Oceanic and they replaced it. On my next dive in Cozumel my new Atom flooded again. I had to abort my dive and rent a set of gauges for the remainder of the trip. Again my LDS returned...
