Here it is... http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/cozumel/369828-iberostar-dressel-diver.html

We were at the Iberostar last month and went diving with Dressel. No complaints here either. Was very happy. But I do recommend pre-paying for diving with them. It is much cheaper. My husband and I shared at 10-two tank dive package for $520. Then we had to pay the $2 per person per day...

I have no problem having a DM on a dive. Other posts had implied the child needed a personal DM, and that was what was confusing me. When they were saying personal DM, it sounded like they had to be their buddy, and they were there solely for the child (so in a group situation, you would need...

The point of the donkey story is that it is easy to make promises if only one person knows you cannot follow through with them. To become a dive master, you only need 60 dives and some classroom work. I personally don't believe that means you can deal with an emergency. So just like the "shop"...

:popcorn: We are headed there in Feb.... Starting to look at diving options now. But I will be partially limited to a max of 40 ft for half my dives (diving with a kid), the other half, I will do with my husband so we can go where we want!:popcorn:

While it might seem that Christi's approach is safer, I see it very differently. I would not let my kid dive without me. The presence of a DM or not, is superfluous in my mind. I am the one responsible for my kid. And I am not going to leave the safety of my kid under water to a DM. I think...

Here is the thing, if the family was local or had their main priority be diving, they would be likely to return frequently with more business or they might tell their diving buddies at home what a great outfit they found. If this was the case, the dive operation would be wise to refund some...

I am confused. I was under the impression a certified 10 yr old can dive with a certified parent? But they must stay 40 ft or less. Some are saying they have to have their own DM, but I can't find that on the PADI site. Am I missing something?:dontknow:

I was in Coz earlier this month. In the airport they had a 'drug store'. It has all kinds of meds including keflex, amoxicillin, pepcid, flonase. While I don't remember if they had cipro, they probably did. And you did not need a perscription, just money. I was facinated by all the drugs...

Can you recommend a shop or a DM that could lead a dive in the springs. What I have found is cave diving info, and that is far too advanced for my daughter. And I would really want a DM with us who knows the area. I looked into Key Largo. It is just too far. If anything we could pop down...

There are cameras with ports that you can change under water. I had no idea. I will have to look into that. :coffee:

What did you end up buying? The thing about the 20D is that I know it can be replaced now for about $300-$400 (since they are up to at least 40D and probably even better yet). So if the camera did flood, it would not break my bank to replace. But do you have a suggestion of a "reasonably"...

That right there is a red flag too! He should have known better. Especially if the pain was better under water and worse when he resurfaced. I wish him the best. I hope he has not missed the "window"....:popcorn:

Here is one I was looking at. But I really don't know much about cameras. Sealife DC1200 12.0 Megapixel Underwater Camera Elite Kit with Digital Pro Flash SL708 with reviews at scuba.com I have the cannon that I love. Not sure how I got the cannon, but have been very happy with it.

I have a cannon 20D. I love that camera and have used it for most of my above water pictures for the past 7 yrs. I just returned to scuba and am looking to take some under water pictures. It looks like I can get a housing for this camera for about $1200-1400. But I wonder if I would be...

I would do what Dan recommends. DCS can be caused by surfacing too quickly, or too short and a surface interval. The information you gave was inadequate to check with a table. Did you do a safety stop? And even with all that information, the body is weird. Maybe he was dehydrated, maybe he...

Congrats. My daughter turns 10 in Sept, and she says she is getting her card as soon as she can. Only her OW dives will have to be in cold water, so she might not be that excited when she realizes how cold it will be....:(

I will echo what many have already said. Comfort in the water makes the air last longer. Realize diving is "slow sport". Things are not meant to happen fast. Relax. Keep your hands close to the body. Stop "squirming" in your gear. And sit back to watch the "movie" of the ocean slowly pass...

The Iberostar did not seem to care if you were in the hotel or not. I know the cruise ships let you leave your kids in kids club while you go a shore at the various stops. Most of the kids clubs we have used did not seem to care if you were "on site" or not. Thanks, our kids are 5,8 and 9...

We are looking at hotel Cozumel as a possible hotel for our next trip. My main concern is their kids club. What the web site says about kids club is "It is open for children between 5 to 12 years old and at least on adult must remain in the hotel while the child is having fun with us." So if...
