AL80s in the quarry up there are not going to be the same as AL80s in a wetsuit in warm water. So unless you are hopping in the quarry in your wetsuit, it will still be an all new experience in MX.![]()
I usually just do first class into cancun. You get two 70 pound bags that way. Makes packing a non issue. You renting a car or taking a colectivo?I’ll be doing MX wet. Shocked that I found a 5mm in my size at LeisurePro (excuse me Scuba.com). I really don’t want to trust my pretty purple drysuit to the airlines. Will be taking my Nomad XT. Overkill for AL80s, but as my WI instructor says, I know where everything is and it fits me. No need to complicate things. I have two AL80s that I’ve got SM valves on order from DGX that I’ll take out to the quarry when the water warms up some. Talking with MX instructor (Alessandra Figari) tonight. We’ve already chatted some on FB.
Southwest flies direct into Cancun from ORD and there are some non-stops. More expensive but less hassle. I’ll get business select class if I can. I’m a minimal packer usually but I’ve never flown with dive gear before.

No clue on that yet. You get two free bags with Southwest. They fly from ORD which is 30 minutes from me. Don’t have to drive an hour or more to Midway.
This is what I do. 70 lb bags are so much easier to work with.
I would suggest a rental car or the ADO bus.
I didn't know that Southwest started flying out of ORD until now.
Instructor’s shop is in Playa del Carmen. Not sure where I’ll be staying. We’re talking tonight.
Note that you CANNOT take luggage on a collectivo. They will ask you to get off if you have anything you can't set it on your lap.No clue on that yet. You get two free bags with Southwest. They fly from ORD which is 30 minutes from me. Don’t have to drive an hour or more to Midway.
