Coz Swim-Throughs

[MaresMan1]

Tex,

I will be in PDC from Aug 1st to the 13th. I am planning on diving a number of places in Coz, PDC and the cenotes. I will be staying at the Shangri-la Caribe. If you are interested in getting together, just leave a message for Maresman1. I am listed on their dive schedule. If I do not meet up, have a wonderful dive holiday. Please take plenty of pics to post

Dive smart, dive safe
Enjoy the ride

Thanks ggunn, that's the one my daughter and I are going for this year. And about the C-53, that was my first wreck dive and I loved it. Is anyone going to Cozumel the first of August?

OK, but be advised that the Devil's Throat dive at Punta Sur is considered to be an advanced dive. It's deep and enclosed, and once you start down the Throat, there's no way to abort. Some people go into deco at the end of it. Dive safe.

Thanks for the advice ggunn. I have over a 1000 dives since '79 and my daughter has over 50 since 2000. Although you have to always be carefull, I think she is ready. We dove 10 dives in Coz two years ago, but somehow missed doing Punta Sur. My main concern is who will be on the boat with us, are they ready. By the way I checked out your web page, nice.

We did the enter at 100', up to 70', left turn at the cross shaped sponge and down to 120' route. Another group was coming up the tube from 120', and our group of 6 had to wait for what _seemed_ to be a dozen divers to swim by before continuing.
A few in our group went into deco for a while, but of course that cleared easily since it was just the fast compartments.

I still had a pretty good NDL margin since I was on EAN32.

This is a typical profile where a short dip to the ppO2 1.5ata range doesn't run up your CNS clock much because you spend so little time there.
