    The policy (as far as I know) went into effect island wide after Cameron (Northernone) disappeared on a dive which began from shore with his mother. She returned to shore according to what I read so he could do a short wall dive and then join her about 20 minutes later on the shore. There are...

    Hotel Cozumel or Casa Mexicana

    I was at Hotel Cozumel during the furniture issue and I think it's been taken care of. New furniture was ordered but delayed & staff had cleared out the old stuff. There was a lot of confusion because the front desk staff is new & so is the computer system. Workers didn't tell the front desk the...

    I'm home now with some news, photos & videos from my trip

    This years trip started Jan 28 and we arrived on a beautiful but windy "ports closed" day. There were several of those days this trip including our last day which was yesterday (Feb 18) and it's still closed again today.

    Snorkling at Occidental Cozumel vs Allegro

    Snorkeling at the Grand was actually not that bad but my visit was almost 14 years ago. There was considerable rubble in the roped off area to draw a reasonable mix of marine life. There was a large school of fish which seemed to call the area home along with a bit of an aggressive Barracuda...

    3 day Norte coming in 28DEC23

    Well I sure don't blame him for trying to prevent tragedies. His shoulders can't be big enough to carry a load like that nor should we insist on risking our life because it's our (dive, fishing, snorkeling etc etc) vacation which cost $xxx and we only get 1 a year.

    If you stay down south or up north AI's become a necessity because there are limited choices in restaurants nearby. Near or in town opens up lots of places withing walking distance or by a short cab ride. Will a hotel do or do you want a resort experience? Real beach or just ocean access...

    Port closed?

    I'm here now starting a 3 week vacation at Hotel Cozumel and while having lunch we had a few very heavy downpours of rain. That caught my attention big time because I'm certain there were times I couldn't see anything 100 meter / yards out from my elevated position. I seriously think a boat crew...

    FOUND: Apple Watch/Dive Computer

    There is a good chance Apple would know it's owner. They most likely had to register it to have it work correctly to their cloud system.

    ¡Christmas Norte!

    I'm in rural south Ottawa & it has changed from rain to blowing snow as the temp drops big time. The snow is going sideways & from the noon news the GTA is NOT a nice place to be & the airport is an even worse place to be.

    OW training for children?

    "Be advised most instructors that I know of do not want a parent or even friends in the water near them during instruction as it could be distracting to the student." That's a very good point from Gary.
