Lk. Havasu is about 200 miles from Phoenix (Mapquest estimate using only Phoenix AZ and Lk Havasu AZ on the request map section). I found an interesting article on treasure hunting in Lk. Havasu that also mentioned a bit of visibility info. It is sort of old (1994) though...

Hi Folks, Was wondering if any kind souls could point me in the direction of a reputable dive shop on Oahu for an upcoming vacation in May. Also, any ideas on dive sites would be appreciated greatly!! P.S. I've seen ave. water temps in the high 70's for May in HI. Does that seem about...

Most folks opt to head down to San Carlos or even Rocky Point. The only real diving in AZ, is as Tortuga mentioned, Lk. Pleasant and Sagauro Lake. Don't know the website address, but El Marr Diving, in Mesa, is one of the bigger LDSs that put on bus tours to the Mexican areas. Hope that...

Hiya Folks, Just finished my AOW cert dives at Lake "Not-so" Pleasant, Arizona. Water temp was 50 degrees, with viz at 5-6 feet. Being a glutton for punishment, I am interested in any info on other Phoenix area diving opportunities... My instructor and I were speaking with a Sheriff at...

Ferrara/Devjr, Thanks for the clarification. Always easier to figure out any "errors" on the net amongst resident experts than in a deco chamber :) Chad

Hi All, Long time mostly silent lurker here. Signed up for the PADI AOW class next month, and have been studying each of the Adventure Dive sections in the book. (Haven't decided which ones to do, so learn 'em all!) A quick question from the Altitude Diving Section that I answered...

Hey Callie, You mentioned 6 inch viz at Lk Pleasant in Phx.... Did you go with Diver Dave's training classes? Gary was the instructor?? If so, Wow! Small world on the internet!! If not, Hey, lemme know if you're in the mood for planning a local (or not so local) dive....My wife...

Howdy All, Just a quick note to tell you the bags did finally show up. Guess I got caught by the Mexican Siesta one last time. It was delivered to the house a few days after the flight. For those of us who've seen the Cozumel airport, I still find it tough to figure out a way that they...

a couple staying at the Costa Club last week. They really liked their room, but had just gotten to Coz so they couldn't comment on Dive Paradise (or whomever they were diving with)....

Lucia, Just got back from Fiesta Americana. We don't have kids but they do have a Kid play area right by the lobby. Looked like lots of board games, a pool table. Couple of swimming pools, and free snorkel gear rentals across the street at the beach. We didn't do the all inclusive option...

Howdy All, Just got back from Coz yesterday. Great time!!! We took the ferry. 2 pp round trip cost 296 pesos (65peso one way/per person, plus tax I think). You'll stow your bags on the front part of the boat. Was interesting to see a couple of military guys, and a dog sniffing the boxes...

Howdy All, Just got back from Coz. Wonderful Diving!!! I will post our adventures in the next couple of days, although a special thanks to Joewr for his info. The French Quarter is good food, and Mike sezs Hi!!! Unfortunately, I think somebody picked up one of our gear bags at the...

Howdy All, Are US$ pretty much the standard currency in Coz, or should we convert it? Also, what's the deal with credit cards? Widely accepted or mostly cash-only? Leaving next week, and need to know if a trip to the bank for cash is in order... Please forgive my Cozumel neophytes...

Hi All, My wife and I booked a Continental Vacations Package to Cozumel next month. Upon receiving the travel itinerary, we noticed that it was VERY different from what we had optioned for on the website purchase. Connecting flights (from Phx) no longer worked. After calling Continental...

My apologies if I missed coverage of my question in any previous posts.... My wife is about 95lbs and literally freezes in any water temperature, so a drysuit is definitely required. My question is regarding the difference between the neoprene and the trilaminate dry suit varieties. Which...

Tom, DocVikingo, and Joewr, Thanks for your thoughts. We'll take them into advisement in researching all the dive shops in Cozumel....

Hi All, I'm slowing receiving information from several dive shops. Does anyone have any experience with Divehouse, located at the Fiesta Americana hotel? Thanks!

Thanks to all for the great info in all these posts. We've booked the reservations for Coz in July, and are now searching for dive shops. However, similar to Wolfgirl's thread, my wife and I are looking for info on which dive shops might cater more to the novice divers...We've only got a...

I've got some flight vouchers on Continental, and the only decent flight pricing I can get is PHX - Houston, sooooo, whaddaya all know about diving in the Galveston area? Any websites? I saw something about rig diving? Still a new diver, and I've never heard about that type of diving.. Any...

I was just certified OW 2 months ago, and yes, my instructor concluded the last of the classroom work by mentioning the next weekend AOW class that was getting started and if there was anybody interested....They stressed that most accidents occur in the first 8 dives, so it was in my interest to...
