Thanks all ... looks like going to PDC is the preferred choice. Really appreciate the replies ---------- Post added June 14th, 2013 at 04:00 PM ---------- .. and just for some feedback, I've booked into the Barrio Latino .. that looks great for a night since they also sort out a pickup taxi...

Hi all, After some good advice please. We're (me , wife, 15 yo son) heading on over from the UK to initially Cozumel. We land in Cancun airport at around 15:30 and then we're booked in a condo on Coz from 15:00 the next day (all happening middle of next month .. i.e. July). The question is...

Guess I'd best post up since you're low on numbers :) Myself, wife and son, 9th July to the 17th when we then head on over to Tulum. Diving with Liquid Blue and staying in an El Cantil condo.

Sue, In general they are pretty good from my experience. I've recently booked another trip with them on the Infinity and I would have to say the sales rep I dealt with has been particularly helpful with some non-standard requirements of ours. If I remember correctly I've used Regal for both...

I guess it depends on the type of diving you enjoy most. Personally, I love that particular route. Given a choice of Brothers or St John's I'd probably go for St John's as it's "prettier" (in a vibrant coral reef way). Playground, Umma Kuf and Amphitheatre are truly memorable dives although...

Excellent write up! Thanks

Sounds ideal to me! Any suggestions with whom to book with for the best price? (I'm in the UK if that makes any difference). Thanks!

Indeed ... hence the interest in Tobago :D Teasingly BA mentions Hawaii but offer no miles seats and they used to mention the Maldives, again without flights to support it ... grrr. It is almost possible to get flights to the Caymans but I could only find one suitable return trip which was...

Excellent :D Looks like a plan. Time to use some of the BA Airmiles that I've collected. Utter pain that BA hardly fly to any decent diving destinations , grumble grumble. Still it looks like Tobago is hardly slumming it! Really appreciate the input as I've never dived in the Caribbean...

Thanks both ... it looks like Feb is a good time to go. Just trying to sort out a week on the Wind Dancer now. First time to the Caribbean, looking forward to it!

Hi all, I think my wife and I have pretty much decided to head on over to Tobago for a couple of weeks in the next twelve months, the question is though, when is the best time? One week I think almost certainly will be spent on the Wind Dancer and the other on land somewhere. In terms...

For wrecks then the north is better (though crowded) but for "aquarium" type diving then Fury Shoal and St Johns are superb. Playground and Umm Kuf are just stunning. With Brothers, Elphinstone and Daedelius I guess it's all down to luck. I've dived with 7 Oceanic White Tips at a distance...

Excuse the ramble below I hope it explains my wants/needs: I've seen a few threads previously about the Icaro but nothing overly conclusive. Life for my BC consists mainly of diving in UK quarries/reservoirs with a dry suit but particularly (sub)tropic diving, mostly the Red Sea. I see it...

Thank you :D

Nope, nothing to do with pulmonary disease (per se although that does affect the ability to exhaust CO2 from the blood). Purely and simply it's to do with the pH. Now a lot can affect the pH, O2 however is not one of them.

FWIW, the urge to breathe is totally controlled by the pH of the blood (i.e. the effect of CO2 forming carbonic acid). You can have NO oxygen in your system at all and if the pH of your blood is above the body's set limit, you just won't bother breathing. One of the reasons you can pass out...

Trust me .... it will ! :crafty: I love night diving and drag "Bonnet Ray" with me whether she wants to or not ;)(actually she's a very good night diver, better than me anyway) 'fraid we're on the Sea Serpent. Looks a nice boat but haven't seen a lot of feedback on it anywhere so fingers...

Jim, The one concern I have over HIDs is that with my Greenforce F2 Pro Head torch, I can have a couple of spare lamps in my bags at the cost of about £5. A HID replacement is, what?, 80 or 90 quid? Perhaps I'm miserable but I can't imagine me throwing in a spare HID lamp into my travel bag.
