I am thinking about going to Cancun for a vacation this year. I am looking for suggestion on a dive shop, and thoughts on safety. We are looking at staying at the Hard Rock. How do you get to the dive shops? Do they provide transportation or ... How safe is it in the hotel district? (am I...

Wow no thoughts what so ever by anyone... Interesting.

I have a cruise that is stopping in both ports. On day is from 7am-1:30pm the other is 11:am to 8 pm. I started looking for dives, and from what I can see: 1. Morning dives run from 9:00 to 1:00 a little tight to get back on the ship. 2. There are no listed afternoon dives or only a 1 tank...

I have a DC600 and while it is good enough, my wife is disappointed with the colors and the work I have to do to correct them. So she is considering it ok to upgrade the camera (yeah). My problem is that the budget is less than 300 since I only get to dive about once a year (non quary dive)...

posted in wrong location sorry.

I have a DC600 and my wife dis not like the hours I spend doing color correction after taking pictures. So she has authorized me to do something about it... Option 1. 6.1 mp DC600 and purchase an external flash Option 2. 9 mp SC332 Budget is under 250. Thoughts / Ideas. Thanks.

We stayed at Divi Carina Bay - My wife is not a diver (physically cannot due to ear issues) so the resort we stay at is important. The Divi was older but very good. The food while not 5 star was more than eatable and quite often good. If you did not like what they were serving the bar had...

Been a bit since my last dive (less than a year) and want to get some underwater time to work out the new computer and the kinks in my diving. Hopeing to do a Wednesday cheepie and looking for a dive buddy.

Not as collectors items or anything, but is it going to be worth the cost to have them checked out. I received them a tip for cleaning a guys boat. He will not dive in cold water (60 deg.) 3 say US Divers Santa ANA 1 says US Divers Los Angeles Thanks for any info.

Sprat, Next trip I will make more notes in my log book so I can give a better writeup. :eyebrow: I know that I will have to save up and pick up a strobe before I go the next time. Thanks for convincing me to try Ben. It was worth it. Ben, Thanks for the corrections and don't worry SWMBO...

Scubagirl, I just got back from Cancun and if you want so see some of the pictures I have them up on flickr, Flickr: Photos from a_doghouse Ben was great to go with, and you can trust his info. (not saying you cannot trust anyone else, I just cannot vouch for them) You are going to love the...

Well, I just got back from our trip to Cancun. It was fantastic!! If you get the chance, I recommend staying at the Royal in Cancun. What a place, everything is top notch the whole way. Ben at Mayan Aqua Dive (M.A.D.) made a great week even better. For the first day of diving, we had 2...

Fyshebait - If you have any concerns about going with Ben, and M.A.D. I will be more than happy to relay my experiances. I am very cautious, and he took me on my first ocean dives. All my previous were brack, or fresh water. I have never been more comfortable diving, he and his staff are...

depending on your time, there are instructions in the DIY area for building a $30 BRIGHT led flashlight out of online parts. The other side is a strobe, and that is what I am bringing. With 90' vis, I doubt that I will need it for anything. You never know, I may get away with a night dive!

It will be my first set of dives down there, and I am going with MAD. Ben is easy to deal with and provides great information. I will be staying down there the same time you will. My dives are for the 10/11. SWMBO does not dive, so I only get 2 days away from her. :) PM and if we can meet I...

Thanks, Will do.

Well the night dive has been ax'ed. SWMBO wants some time together. So I get 2 morning outings. OK, thanks for the tip, NO KNIFE. I can leave that at home. Any thought or suggestions about Cancun? We are staying in Quintana Roo at an all inclusive adults only resort.

My wife (a non diver) gave us a gift of a trip to Cancun for V-day. She is even going to let me go diving while we are there :D! So I am trying to figure what to pack. I want to take my own Regulator / computer setup, knife (I like it because it is small!), and I intend to take my own basic...

Fishoutawater, yes, that is a great match. Unfortunately, we are not ready to move to the other side yet. Chuckwagon, pm sent Thanks everyone for the words and information. I was asked to contract back to continue doing my job, and taking on the project lead role. Hey, it may be a short...

Yea, it was a downer, but at least I have time off during the holidays. Besides after 7 years, it was getting to be the time to start looking anyways. They were generious, and I am contracting back to do my old job for the next couple of months.
