Cozumel Gloves/Knife

Maybe. It also depends on the operator. I wouldn't push the issue.

Definatly not worth pushing. I know it irritates some folks, but after all the hastle you go through of getting your trip planned, hauling your gear several thousand miles south, and going through customs, why get worked up over a pair of gloves! :06:

Yep, life's too short, and vacation is a LOT shorter!

Not sure if this should go in the equipment board or here - maybe the mods can put it in the right place.

I typically dive in a pair of 2mm gloves to protect my hands and add some warmth during my dive. I have good/decent skill set in the water and do not plan on touching the reef just because I have gloves on (or touching it for any reason for that matter). Are gloves allowed in Cozumel?

Also, I am not crazy about not diving without a knife - what are the rules on small BC style knife in Coz?

My family and I just returned from Coz. Thursday and yes the water is warm but my wife still gets chilled. She has a condition call Raynaud's that causes her hands to become stiff and blue if she gets the least bit cold. She wore gloves on every dive and did not have anyone of the dive masters make a comment. As long as you keep off the reef and respect the no touch rule there are no scuba police waiting for you on the bottom.

Sometimes the marine park police show up on bottom. :1poke:
