New photo album. Compares waterfront areas Hotel Barracuda to Punta Sur.

I'm not sure if this will be as useful here as for Tripadvisor members but after having to cut back on my hotel property tour albums at Flickr I finally found a way to show what to expect at most of the hotels, resorts & beach clubs along the west coast starting at Hotel Barracuda & ending at Punta Sur. I can't do anything similar for the north end because I don't stay or visit it except on dive boats.

Album is here. https://flic.kr/s/aHsmCGGVe2

Nice job! Makes me want to go - now.

Agreed.. Very cool! So this is what you do with your rig when it's not in the UW housing?

Thanks and some of it was shot with my underwater camera but most is from the different DSLR's I own. If there was a risk of water damage it's done with the underwater rig but I have at times taken a DSLR on dive boats that have a dry area to store it in while bouncing along the water.

Stop by Scuba Club Cozumel the next time you are on the island and fill in the gap between Cozumel Palace and Hotel Cozumel.

Great photo compilation.

Blue Angel pier has had a ladder for exit for as long as I've been diving there, from ten years ago to last year. In your picture of the dock, it's on the back right by the tank dolly. I've always found it easier to enter and exit from the dock.

That’s great. Thanks for sharing. I stayed at Fiesta Americana last week and it looks like a different property now. I understand they did a major renovation about 5 years ago and apparently the waterfront area was part of it.

Jim, next trip won't be until Feb but I'll ask if I can tour Scuba Club. I had been under the impression they weren't very open to that idea.

Reefhound, I'll re check re the ladder & may have a better photo showing it but either way I'll replace the photo with one listing the ladder. I have stayed there but that's several years ago.

Yellowdog I know there were huge changes at FA but having picked up divers more than once since then I didn't notice any real changes re an actual section of beach etc. From memory things that were along the shoreline remained pretty much the same but the beach club area was changed big time. It's still mainly ironshore along the shore isn't it?
