Jeremiah just asked that we pay for his tank and a rental BC I think, I realized that it was a pretty good deal, and he was mostly looking for a good tip, so I think we paid him 50 bucks and the other couple that dove with us gave him ten for tip. Well worth it - he showed us lots of cool stuff...

Let us know if you get though, Cobra. I would like to dive their again this spring. The only name I remember was Jeremiah, the young, on-site DM. They didn't have readily stocked tanks, but they had snorkeling gear, weights, and some rental equipment - not sure how good it was though - we had...

hilarious:D!! to the tune of "if your happy and you know it . . ." - If you're wrapped by a moray, crap your pants!

Just like I said, cavernous overhang - nothing even near a cavern - six feet deepest and open entire 12 to 15 feet in length - I could see the back and would have swam in, but I didn't want my wife to freak out - not for being in it, but for risk of touching the top with my tank. Yes, just...

More Pics of Playa Corona Shore dive Key point Okie Mike - ". . . for a cozumel shore dive". I had scoured this subforum for years looking for a decent shore dive in Coz, and most people say that they are good for simply getting wet, checking gear, and maybe night dives, so I was surprised by...

Sorry for not telling you all about this earlier, cuz it seems either a secret (most resorts and shops know about this place, but won't make money telling people about it), or maybe folks just don't know about it (or both). Anyway, my wife and I have shore dived plenty in Coz, just not in...

You and my sweet wife are both correct. Our resort, Fiesta Americana (1st AI resort north of Chankannaab park), is one of the only areas in Coz in which there is a giant, constant-never-changing eddy in which the current near shore is actually running North to South. Current near the wall is...

I had no problems with Dive house - they had AL100's for me when I needed, and second tank with Nitrox. No limit on bottom time, and we were often waiting on the boat for the divers that had gills to come up after about an hour. That added more SI time for the rest of us, but I didn't mind...

I just returned from nine nights at FA and did several dives with DH (my wife doesn't dive so I make time for her with shore dives with her, some just snorkeling with her - which was great BTW, right in front - took a taxi up to Money Bar and drift down to FA ). So as not to repeat all the...

That is one of the best videos I've seen in a long time - mostly because of the perfect color balance. Did you manual white balance, or did you use Magic Filters or something like that? Seems that the contrast and color saturation was spiked a bit too - which is fine by me. You...

Sorry its an old thread, but I just saw it now. I've dove with the Holiday several times - well worth it. Aqua Specialists out of Rocky River always arranged "dusk dives" every year in August and some of September for every Wednesday evening. Good deal for fifty bucks, as you get one tank...

Sure, I see your point - well taken. But sometimes you have to use hyperbole to get the point across. I just finished watching the final episode crowning Ed Fink as the "Ultimate Diver". I think that the editing was pretty good, intermixing lots of UW footage of the challenges in with the...

Thanks, Cocopo, for posting those pics of the shore area between Fiesta Americana and Presidente. I've been searching for shore dive info for months now, and your post is the only one where I actually SAW what the shore diving is like, and I liked it - doesn't take much to make me happy...

Sure, I can agree with you that the show is a little lacking in some of the points you bring up, but what scuba shows have YOU produced? I was a little shocked that my search function on my remote even found a show at all about diving. I applaud anyone who can capitalize on such obviously...

Great Line, as Arnold was under the truth serum.

Hi John (Naimis) - I saw your pics uploed to picasa, and I recognized one very similar coral head, as well as all the fluorescing anemones. Did you do the night dive with Ocean Frontiers at "sunset reef" the small reef close to OF? Here is my biofluorescent video fromt that reef with my UV...

Copied from another thread I posted - see black light vid and info at end: Biofluorescent video and GC East End trip report June 5 - 12th - The four of us got off the plane and immediately did one of my best all time dives at Eden rock - lots of bottom time, schools of jacks circling us, swim...

HI Debby! Remember me on the night dive at ITK 2008 (I think) with my black light that made the corals fluoresce into neon green? Still doing it - just got back from Grand Cayman and did two night dives and even the anemones fluoresced brilliantly. Even saw orange and red fluorescence...

Keep trying Karen! You're bound to find someone eventually, or we may have to come back down from Ohio just to snorkel again! Definitely post again in the Tampa and Venice forum like mentioned above. Do you realize its been warmer here in ohio lately than where you are? We've had lots of...

Another vote for Capt Rod - I dove with him and Katie late May thanks to a referral from Salmonboy97 above, and had a stellar experience. Flat seas that day, fast ride to the sites, and the sites were awesome. The first one was a huge pile of cement bridge pilings they called "Old Pass Bridge"...
