I dive with a Zena and I absolutely love it! I highly recommend it!

Definitely get a PADI wheel. You can easily teach it to yourself and do all of the calculations that you mentioned. It's portable and waterproof too.

Azza- I am definitely pleased that the DM physics exam is over with! Actually now I have passed all of the DM exams so I'm very happy! Thanks again to everyone for all of your input!

I took the DM exams last week. I passed all on the first attempt. Lowest score on any was 85 (only one). (All others were 90 - 100). Here are my thoughts: Physics - I agree with the above post. You have to study the Encyclopedia of Recreational Diving and test yourself with the Diving...

What I find disturbing is that the woman wanted to dive, just off of recent back surgery, with no concern for her OWN safety. I had back surgery in 1988. When I went to get my PADI OW I was happy to go to the surgeon to get the medical release signed because I wanted to make sure that I wasn't...

Thanks everyone for your help! I passed my PADI Divemaster physics exam yesterday with a 95% (on the first try)!

You may want to check out this link that is posted under the Mexico forum (not in the Cozumel subforum). I originally posted it and received alot of good info. on cenotes. http://www.scubaboard.com/t91672-hidden-worlds-cenotes---worth-it.html

mamanan- Thanks for your post. We are set up to dive with Raul/Bottom Time Divers in May and can't wait!

Gordon- Yes it is very complex compared to your routine and I'll admit that looking at it from that perspective - it is very complex compared to my usual as well. Why did you have to make me see it like that?!? Now every minute will feel like an hour commuting to and from Coz! Well at...

Gordon- Everything should be okay because we have safeguards in place in case something happens. That's why I said to PM me for more specifics. Raul knows that if we miss the 6:00 a.m. ferry, we will be coming on the 8:00 which would still work because they usually take their first boat out...

My husband and I are staying in Cancun from May 8-17 (we have too many non-divers in our group). We will be diving in Cozumel. I have researched every possible way to do this the most efficiently and this is what we are doing (you may want to give it a shot): We arranged dependable...

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! The US Navy Dive Manual explains it is in MUCH easier terms to understand than the PADI Encyclopedia. It seemed like a foreign language in the Encyclopedia and high school english in the US Navy Dive Manual! I can't thank you enough!

Thanks everyone for the input! Does anyone know if you can dive Dos Ojos for the first dive and then (if you've proven yourself), dive Dreamgate for the second dive? P.S. I know a 5mm may be too much for most people. I guess I should've mentioned that I'm a freeze baby! I dive my 3mm...

We will be staying in Cancun in May 2005. We are PADI Divemaster Candidates and have no fear/problems with the cave/overhead environment and/or buoyancy issues. We have never dived in a cave before but dive quarries here so we have the proper equipment for cooler water (5mm suit, hood, gloves...

Check out this link to dive op reviews. It has most of the ops in Coz listed with reviews: http://travelnotes.cc/reviews/view_review.php?location_id=1&reviews_location_name=cozumel&cat_id=5&cat_name=Dive+Shops&ratings_val=15,17,7

I feel MUCH better after diving on Nitrox. My fatigue level is greatly reduced vs. diving on air. So I would definitely recommend getting your EAN cert. That being said, I personally would never dive Nitrox on an air computer. I agree, you really could make a big mistake. If you are...

Maybe Christi didn't get your e-mails becuse I've e-mailed her a few times over the past 4 weeks and her response is always within 24 hours. Also, people seem to have a great time with Raul Plata from Bottom Time Divers - www.bottomtimedivers.net

Christi- Thanks so much for the info. but I have a question for you. Actually dive op in Coz can/will be verifying capabilities with dive op that we are diving with the week before in Cancun. So in that case, what itinerary would you recommend? Still the same as earlier or would you change...

To answer some of the questions: We will be there in May 2005. Yes, we will be diving Nitrox. We have already cleared with dive-op our qualifications (long story) - so he said to just tell him where we want to go. The locations i mentioned were just ideas based on what I read online, I...

Can you please help me understand how to do the math to answer the following question: In feet of pressure, how much nitrogen would the 5, 10, 20 and 60 minute halftime compartments each have after 60 minutes at 60 feet? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
