    For a cool $7.8 million you could see some cool stuff...

    Obviously, none of you read the description! "Used made of plastic. Band is some form of rubber presumably." Rubber! RUBBER AND PLASTIC! It's a steal.

    How much to tip dive masters and boat crew in Cozumel?

    I TOTALLY agree with you!! This service was designed without the option to tip and now there it is... Pissed me off, but us Americans can't get away from the tip culture. WE ruined it. Everywhere. I guess it's only fair we get the pay back at home. FYI: Did you know the drivers get to rate...

    It really doesn't matter what flight times I book; airlines will do what they want

    In the last 10 years, for non-direct flights I can only remember ONE time I haven't had the schedule changed (Turkish Airlines which has been the BEST airline I've flown). Often the changes aren't much and truly no bother, but still it's a change. I don't usually get direct flights changed. I...

    Traffic violation courtesy ticket?

    We get it Gunn. You take taxis. Everywhere. All the time. That's great for you, it's what works for you, but some of us need to drive... If I could take a taxi everywhere I needed, more to the point, if I could AFFORD to take a taxi everywhere I needed, I probably would.

    Traffic violation courtesy ticket?

    Having recent experience of being pulled over twice last trip (not on Coz, over on the mainland), we were polite, listened to their spiel (said we were speeding) and then we immediately asked for directions to the police department and asked if they would be meeting us there. They knew that WE...

    Mystery Item

    The article does not say that Cozumel has any fish farms. The Cooperative seems to be based on developing and implementing sustainable fishing techniques. We have quite a few fish farms in my area and they would be pretty darn hard to miss. They require a significant amount of support and...

    DAY TRIP TO COZUMEL FROM AKUMAL FOR SCUBA & SNORKEL

    Getting to Cozumel from Akumal is easy. Not sure why you'd want to go to Cozumel to snorkel, but there are so many other things to do there, definitely go! Much, much better snorkeling is found off the mainland than in Cozumel. The island is known for Palancar reef, but that's deep and only...

    DAN Insurance Changes?

    I'm told I'll get a letter by the end of the month with what options they can offer me. The insurance company in NY that underwrites DAN insurance has advised them that certain policies are now unavailable in some markets. There are many states effected, to different degrees. If you go to the...

    DAN Insurance Changes?

    Anyone else get the email that DAN is no longer offering coverage in your state? I did. (Washington) :( They say they're working on it and I sure hope they do. I've had it for decades and this is a real bummer. We all know that now my family DOESN'T have coverage will be the time one of us...

    Aldora Divers Review: Two Tank Solo New Diver Experience Coming off a Cruise Ship

    Well, this subject seems to have hit a nerve. For anyone who cares, here’s my take. I’m not a ‘cruiser’ but I am a ‘one day’ diver. I’ve been diving since 1978 (I was certified at 2 years of age for those of you getting out your calculators) and diving Cozumel since the early 80's. I don’t...

    Cozumel Dive Review

    Yep. Yep. and Yep. I've dove with many ops on the island, none bad, some very good, but this year I chose Jeremy based on some recommendations I trusted. I wasn't disappointed. I agree with you that after 'some' years, it's not just about diving till you puke, it's about great diving and a...

    Akumal Diving?

    FT - be sure to come back with a full review! I'll be watching for it :) We'll be done in April for a quick week, so maybe I'll try to fit in a dive or two.

    Akumal Diving?

    Done the cenotes a few times and they're just not my thing (don't flame! LOL)... I'm obviously spoiled by Coz, but was hoping to dive now and then closer to home. In addition to the poor reefs and short dive times, I remember hauling my gear and tanks to the boat through the surf one trip and...

    Akumal Diving?

    I've been diving Cozumel for years, but we've decided to retire in Akumal so I'm wondering about the diving in that area. I did a bit of diving a number of years back out of Puerto Adventuras and it was 'OK'. Wasn't super impressed with the experience. It was pretty self-serve and rushed and...

    Cellphone network frequency question

    I have a Verizon phone. My plan works in Mexico the same as in the US. Phone, text, data. If you have a plan that doesn't include Mexico you can call and add it on for the period you're there. I don't have to do anything, just put it in my purse and go.
