I like to circle back when I request assistance and finally take the trip. Due to several factors, we ended up going to Bonaire in December 2014 when I originally posted this thread based on expectations of going to Coz. However, we recently returned from a great week of diving in Coz and we...

Selling a men's Aqua Lung Pro QD BCD, size ML, in excellent condition for $200 plus shipping (varies based on location). About 4 years old and used for 40 dives before I lost weight and purchased a smaller size BCD; it has been hanging in my closet for past 2+years. This BCD fit great when I...

Been using this all week on island; fits nicely in BC pocket and holds a ziplock bag (extra protection) containing cash and a credit card along with a lot of keys (2 for condo, safe key and a car key). I tie a string around the Otter Box and tie the other end to a D ring on the bottom of my BC...

Outstanding and thanks MMM!

After some research, it appears the Cozumel Palace is in the lead. Having never been to Coz, we're prefer to simplify the eating side of things and have most meals on site as part of the AI option. We'll scope out other resorts and dining options and get a sense of where we could stay/eat on a...

Thanks for all the good feedback. I understand most of the shore is like Bonaire in that it is ironshore without sandy beach and that's not a deal killer. Good suggestions on not being web to using a resort's on site dive operator so I'll research dive ops and high end hotels separately. Our...

My wife and I are looking into our first trip to Cozumel and I’m having difficulty finding a resort. For people that have visited Cozumel frequently, what are the 2-3 highest end/nicest properties on the island which are set up for convenient diving with a good operator? When don’t necessarily...

Been there 8 times and have used several dive shops (never used Dive Provo but will in the future; they were full for the entire week this past May when we went). Flamingo Divers are great:6-8 divers max but the boat is a little small for my taste. Caicos Adventures has an outstanding boat...

We just returned from a week in Provo (7th trip) and we were disappointed by the quality of the diving this time as compared to other trips. We don't mind the 45-60 minute boat trips for the best diving to West Caicos and French Cay as we're out on the water. If you want more than 2 dives in a...

My wife loves the fish tacos at the Sunshine Grill; a good to know is they do take out so if you want to have some a few drinks on your deck with good food, that is an option. We've also had good luck at The Waterfront Urban Diner in Camana Bay: Waterfront Urban Diner It may be on the high side...

Agree with no Provo & after going to Bonaire last year and dealing with a long day of travel, I can see why that would be a no go. We find Grand Cayman easy; boat rides often 10-15 minutes for good diving. When we don't want a structured day, we do shore dives. Most of the shore dives have easy...

A couple of suggestions would be to provide target budget and whether you are going in low or high season as budget will dictate resort choices. Tough to give spot on options when you say "affordable"; what some consider affordable, you may consider expensive. Having stayed at a variety of...

The wife and I were in Bonaire last Christmas and she often gets cold so she dove with her 5mm full wetsuit with a rashguard layer. For dives later in the day, a hood was added as a lot of heat escapes through one's head. I'm fine with a full suit in 3mm thickness but I wear a rashguard layer...

A good shore dive easy to get to is at Eden Rock Dive shop. It seems odd that such a good site is so close to Georgetown and where the cruise ships anchor but there are two really good sites accessible from the Eden Rock dive shop; Eden Rock and Devil's Grotto. Google them and you can see...

Thanks for the info Drew. We have done shore diving from the places with on site dive shops. When you say there are many places where shore diving is "feasible" I'm wondering what people's top 3 shore dives would be (outside of dive shop locations) where the diving is easy to access/safe...

Getting ready to go back to GC in mid-May, staying on SMB. We were there in Nov 2011 and never got to dive North due to weather. Since then, we have been nitrox certified and been to Bonaire focusing on shore diving. Hope this trip to do a balance of shore and boat diving. My question is...

We did our open water training, after doing book work/pool work locally, with Eden Rock down in Georgetown; really easy process. We used Ocean Frontiers for our advanced open water and they were a first class outfit.

Bummer but thanks for taking the time to provide the specifics. Always nice to know the unscrupulous people to avoid.

I agree with what Herman wrote but poor typing skills prevented me from providing that info in such great detail in earlier post :D. We had a helluva time finding flights to/from Bonaire using standard travel search engines like kayak. I posted a thread about how best to use the search engines...

We've visited Provo 7-8 times, Grand Cayman 2 times and Bonaire just this past Christmas. Our favorite diving trip was Bonaire; a ton of diving, easy on the wallet (granted the airfare is more expensive). If I was coming off a crazy time at work and wanted a more relaxing vacation without 3-4...
