Both have wonderful dive sites. The sites in Cozumel and GC are (can be) fairly close to your boat port/mooring. I've been to Coz 5 times and going back in October. Just returned from GC, but dove teh East End. The West side of GC (which is where you will dive if you're on a cruise) can be a bit...

As usual, "it depends". In my case, I did my OW in a quarry and had all kinds of buoyancy issues and really didn't feel too comfortable diving "by myself" - i.e., without an instructor. I chose to take AOW the following weekend more for the extra instruction and time with a "pro" who could help...

I wear a bifocal prescription mask and always carry a spare. Last year I was in Cozumel and during my 1st check (not checkout!) dive, the right-side strap bracket broke off! That would have been a real bummer if I didn't have a backup mask in my bag!

I'm truly sorry for the loss of your friend. However, it really sounds like you're parrotting CDN's anti-Cayman rhetoric! I speak as a diver with about 7 years' and 300+ dives experience. Probably 60 of those dives were in Grand Cayman with Sunset House, Red Sail, and man with Ocean Frontiers...

The Washington Post reported Fish Attack Just Start of Diver's Ordeal - washingtonpost.com that a woman was attacked - apparently by a barracuda on a night dive. The story reports that she needed multiple surgeries. It's quite a story - also highlighting some familiar problems with foreign (and...

I've also been struggling with a decision whether or not to start carrying a pony - almost all of my diving involves air travel. After you arrive, do you need to/actually get a VIP before re-installing the valve and filling it? Seems like that would be expensive and probably unnecessary, but...

Just got back from Coz last Saturday. This was my 6th trip. I've always stayed at Scuba Club Cozumel. It's prices are all-inclusive of breakfast, lunch, dinner and diving - not drinks. We've always enjoyed the people there - they're friendly, eager to please, and most speak English far better...

I'll be going back to SCC for the 7th time this year - does that say enough? Actually our extended family of about 17 are going in August.The food is good an varied - though not fancy. The boats are large - they're not the fastest, but you may be wishing for the shade of the Reef Diver or other...

I'll be going back to SCC for the 7th time this year. I've always had a laptop and never had a problem with it or anything else there. The staff are great. If you have cash, tickets or passports, you can lock them in a box at the front office. Al

You might want to think about a strobe with a modeling light such as the Inon's - I've used this on a bunch of night dives and it works great. They can be set to stay on after the picture is taken. Al
