    presidente vs. occidental

    We stayed at the Grand the last week in May and loved it. We generally stay away from all-inclusives, but this was a last minute trip and all we wanted to do was dive. The Grand - Service was excellent, they were very attentive and responsive. We changed roooms after the first night (they...

    I need Cozumel help! PLEEEEEZ!

    Booked through Hotwire - so took a chance on the flight there, but there are only 4 flights a day that originate in Boston and end in Cozumel, so we were pretty comfortable with what we were doing. Would have been $3k if we'd booked through our travel agent.

    I need Cozumel help! PLEEEEEZ!

    We just booked at the Grand for under $1000 pp with R/T ari from Boston. Airfare alone would have been almost $700 a piece, so we REALLY feel like we got a bargain. It was only about $150 more pp than Hotel Cozumel, Fiesta Americana, Plaza Las Glorias, and we figure with the $ we're saving, we...

    guy using a female bc

    I actually talked to Joe at ScubaToys about this BC last week. He said a lot of guys are buying it despite the fact it's labeled for a woman. So no big deal. It's not girly at all (no pink purple swirls). It's got some "snakeskin" looking like fabric on it...

    Libra? Isla? DIva? Luna? Which one?

    Luna or Athena?

    I think I've finally narrowed my BC search down to the Sherwood Luna or Genesis Athena. Both have gotten good reviews on the site, and I'm looking for a women's intro level BCD. Can anyone suggest why one is better than the other? Are in the same price range from what I can see. Going to...

    First foray into buying equipment, help!

    I am a novice diver (25 dives), and want to purchase my own equipment - BC/reg. I live in Boston, and will do some (not much) summer diving here - 55 -60 degree water temp. I'm traveling to Cozumel in 3 weeks, and am tired of renting equipment that's not comfortable, doesn't fit well. I...

    Dive Palancar Dive Shop?

    We'll be staying there at the end of May, so I too, had this question. Are they full service? I am a certified diver, but my boyfriend will be doing his OW checkout dives while we're there, so I want to make sure he has a good experience with a knowledgable instructor. Thanks!
