Holy post resurrection batman!!! hahah Ok, I will weigh in here as well. The OP, some 2 years ago posted this and stated that he put himself into an overweighted state to slow his ascent. His main question is regarding air in his BC to come up. I would not recommend this to any new diver. I...

Pam, this is truly awesome and my wife and I are all GUNG HO on this! You should have our information this weekend because we plan on winning this year! Have an awesome weekend!

Wife bought most of the gear we have or we have got it together. We have complete sets for all 5 of us from tanks to computers. Wife is my dive buddy and I wont be diving without her or my kids.

I mainly stick with the bigger names when dealing in online purchases. I would not of agreed to pay for the shipping and would of demanded a cross ship so they can send me the item first and I could then use their packing and thier return label to ship it back. On the other side, I would...

The wife and I have looked this over and found that if she were to become an instructor and I a DM, then together we could make enough to live. Not at our current level, but enough to live. So we have yet to get our DM or instructors cert. I figure in the next 10 years or so, we may relocate...

From NOAA website: I am one who thinks you need to get over yourselves and let it be. Its going to happen. There is 0 you can do to stop it. The fish is already in Playa, on the other side of Cozumel, in Cuba and all over. Lionfish Distribution That alone should show that nothing you can do...

logo is showing red X for me.

Rent a car and a condo. we did. Its not walkable to town but I dont like going into town that often. I do like the beach and having the boat pick us up in the morning and leaving us tanks to do our own shore dives afterwards. I prefer to cook our meals ourselves (I love to cook) and a couple...

48 lbs of dive gear to dive Coz? You are taking too much. Figure lights, bc, regs go in carry on, fins, booties, wetsuit, mask, gloves (I always wear mine), knife (I also always have mine) and we still keep the weight down to 41lbs. I rent weights and air. My BC is massive and would bet it...

Well, I have had great luck both times.. This last trip through TSA, my 16yr old daughter had some 5" fiskars in her carry on. they let her keep it. Then they found my Swiss army knife (the thing hides from me all the time!) that I bought in switzerland back in 2000, and let me ship it back to...

We did Palancar caves as well today and finished up on Delilah. Got to see loads of good stuff so our first day in the water was awesome.. Got to see the usual cast as well as a large nurse shark that passed about 2 ft under me and the wife as well as a monster eel. I am trying to see if the...

We have arrived.. Beach front (if you call this a beach).. Spoke with our dive shop and they are going to put together a dive for us over to barracuda. I have 5 tanks in the rental sitting there since everyone (but me) was tired... grrrr.. I was looking for a nice shore dive. ohh...

where did you see the eagle rays? The schooling bait fish (guess thats what they are) and what was that near the end? A cuttlefish?

The wife and I dive as much as possible when we go to Coz. That often means that by day 5 we are constantly going in and out of deco on our Tusa IQ 700 computers. If we were to stay at depth it would factor in a deep stop and of course our normal 15-20ft stop.. but by moving ourselves up in...

we arrive monday and are hopeful.. Thanks for the info!

how is the weather over there now?

Actually.. we have shore dove in Playa Del Carmen.. That was back in August of 2007. I know it well since we were there for our wedding. I went looking for a place to rent some air so I could get out there and have some fun. After all the dive spots said no and its not going to happen I...

We did Iberostar once and only once. The hotel for the sake of a hotel is fine. Most of the "features" offered (such as beach toys) were a hassel. Ever since we have been renting homes on Cozumel for our family of 5 + friends. Comes out cheaper and no one to complain about service since we...

And just to get this straight, should we use our CC insurance or should we pay for theirs and make sure we have it in writing before we leave that we do in fact have their insurance? (I am fluent in both english and spanish) We have rented cars from the place just outside of the airport as...

We normally book 2 cars when we go and will be there next week, so this is very timely for us. I do wish someone would post whom NOT to use so we dont make the same mistake. Im sorry Jen is going through the pain but am eager to hear whom not to use in the future for rentals.
