Myself and 9 of my best buds went to Xcalak a month ago for my stag weekend, we stayed and dove with Javier Salas XTC Dive Center and he is the man to go with around that area. We went with a local guide/shop in Mahahual (Jorge - Dive Zone) to Chinchorro banks, world class diving but I will not...

If you are not aware of the shark finning industry and believe what Discovery Channel tells you on Shark Week,watch the documentry ´Shark Water´. Its on youtube.

Thanks for you post!! its great to hear there are still occasional sightings of sharks around the area. I saw a big black tip about a week ago just north of Puerto Morelos, totally unexpected! its rare these days and we dont even mention sharks in our dive breifings anymore.... When will Shark...

The bar where this happened is far out in downtown Cancun, region 239, Leona Vicaro. Its at least 30min drive from the Hotel zone and tourist areas. I know this does not excuse these horrific attacks but tourism is still as safe as ever in Cancun and the Riviera Maya. We all wish this would end...

Since your coming from Guadalajara could you bring some birotes?! Torta ahogadas!!

Cancun has loads of all inc. resorts and the good benefit to you is you will be vacationing in September when Cancun has an average occupancy around 30%!! Nice all inc. resorts worth looking at would be The Rius, Riu Cancun, Caribe or Palace. Any of the Palace Resorts too and Dreams. You would...

The narco cartels won! like most wars in mexico! First whale shark trip of the year this saturday. I´ll post a thread on how this coming season is looking.

ha ha ha!! only John and one other have shot out of the wreck thinking there are dead sailors inside, my bad, it can be cruel!! we now say the wreck was sunk in the war between Cancun and Isla Mujures!

Hi Orm, I checked with the Scubapro dealer here in Cancun, the computer you are after is $1348 usd and they do have them in stock. Value for money, looks and inpecable machines, get a Suunto. I use a D6, my gf a D4 and top of the line model is the D9.

Hi Kryssa, November water temp is around 78/79f. A 3mm full will do the job perfectly, a 3mm shorty would be ok too. I wear a 5mm during the winter months, sometimes I even think about a 7mm!!! Pathetic I know!!

The last bull sharks we saw were the very end of Feb like Jason, just two showed up actually... The season was cut short mostly because of the big boats pumping sand on the beaches so we´ll have to wait til mid Nov now. I got very lucky last week in Cancun and ran across a 10ft Hammerhead, a...

Thanks!! we got blessed yesterday in Cancun on the c58 wreck, at least 25 eagle rays but the highlight was the second tank, a reef called ´Santo Remedio´ we decided to come in shallow as it was so rough on the deeper sites. Only 25ft under and with 100ft viz a 10ft hammerhead swam right up to us...

I spent four nights in varadero, you´ll have a good time and its busy with Europeans. I flew from Cancun to Havana and there were at least 50 Americans on the plane. The Cubans welcome all tourists and the US citizans just don´t get their passport stamped so don´t stress it at all..... Drink...

Hey all, Thanks for the good words and support as always, plenty of beers and good times coming your way after our dives! The bull sharks are slowly returning after a 7 week absence due to the noise and boat traffic from the beach replenishment project. On Monday we got to see 4 bull sharks, 2...

Cancun has great diving for intermediate and even very experienced divers, although most of the reefs are shallow (50-60ft range) the marine wildlife is vastly abundant and huge in variety, more so than Cozumel. Sure there are dive sites and dive ops to avoid or you may well leave with a bad...
