    Montevideo- Recommendations???

    A backpacker approach to diving the Caribbean

    RoatanMan, The belize option has some strenght. I could do Caye Caulker for about a week then moving to Yucatan to see some ruins and/or do cenotes. By the way, Argentina is really cheap now (as you can imagine this means the almost everything is expensive to us) , nothing like the late 90's...

    Used drysuits - good buy or not?

    Initialy I had an short experience with a 7mm too-big-for-me drysuit and I hate them, I imagine that all where like that, feeling like a Michellin guy in a straitjacket. This was during my trainning, then I moved to slighty warmer water. A year later I spent 6 months working in Chile where I...
