We did the BH because we were there, a side trip for a week from a long trip to Cozumel. We didn't see anything special even on our other dives that would make me want to go back. I found the people delightful, the island fun to visit. But it is a long, long day on a big, big boat with a...

We were just on AC and unfortunately went with Aqua Scuba. The big boat stopped at Caye Caulker to pick up folks which made us late starting. They seem to have taken along fairly new OW divers as well as several of us with more experience (ten years, for both hubby and I--he has over 200...

so pleased to see this thread and this forum I couldn't find this info when I had my hysterectomy in late 2009 but followed my MD's instructions to the letter and did not dive until about 16 weeks (3 1/2 mnths) after the surgery and returning to work, fully healed no complications as...

the weight thing has turned into our biggest difference with my domestic partner he insists that I don't get my safety stops executed perfectly because I don't "try" hard enough. particularly in Cozumel, in the drift diving, when the currents run strong, I do have to struggle in winter I almost...

Laparoscopy sounds like there will be external incisions in your belly area. I had my hysterectomy (& bladder repair), vaginally, in Sept 2009, a week after my husband had several vertebrae fused. Since we were both to be off 6+ weeks he booked a trip to Grand Cayman. I did not dive :-( I...

We spent 10 days on St. Lucia in Nov 2004 (my 50th b'day gift from hubby:D) We used Dive Fair Helen--very near where the cruise ships arrive Excellent dives all, excellent food after diving on the ride back I've not been to the other islands you mention.....yet

have you taken the trip from the airport to the hotel by taxi or did you arrange for transportation in advance when booking? this is our first trip there other than a stop for a day on a cruise thanks in advance

Cozumel is lovely; the reefs are really looking great considering how badly they were hit by Wilma a few years ago; we saw a lot of fry and juvenile as well as mature fish this trip; pipefish for the first time, in a couple of places; juvenile and large turtles; nurse sharks were plentiful...

how long did you wait to return to diving after hysterectomy? my doc has me scheduled for next month and my hubby wants me to spend a week in Grand Cayman with him during my recup period and he thinks I can dive....my doc is not a diver and she won't be back in town for 2 weeks....he is eager...

we just had our granddaughter do her OW (junior) with http://www.scubashackcozumwe el.com/ we used to dive with Dive Paradise, but for a variety of reasons, we really love Roberta's operation (she's an ex-pat from Illinois) and I am glad to hear Coz is on the list of places to visit--they...

any one know the dive shop operating in the Beach Club Colony on Seven Mile Beach? we are hoping to get down there in mid-October to dive thanks

My spouse is about to undergo C4 thru C7 discectomy (sp?) and fusion with bone graft & hardware. He is a police officer, motorcycle rider, snow skier and whitewater rafter. His neurosurgeon is pretty positive that diving is good therapy and will likely to clear him at 4 weeks (the PA in the...

My husband does all our trip planning with our travel agent. We always buy trip insurance. He researches on CheapCaribbean.com and other websites & then works with her to get our best deals.

If you have an afternoon to kill, I would suggest the ferry to Playa, walk around and explore (don't have to buy anything to have fun). Beaches are nice there. there is also a natural history and ecological park over there Xel Ha (spelling?). The rules on driving & insurance are different in...

we've been very happy with EcoDivers Blue Bubble--run by Robert & Roberta. Email: ecodivers@cozumel-diving.net website http://www.cozumel-diving.net/ecodivers/ they have an office just off the square (Jorge is usually there) and they usually pick us up about 8 a.m. and we are on the...

we loved diving with DFH; the crews are great! the diving is great. Leslie M is a wreck dive that we had the opportunity to do 2x and what fun! huge moray eel there saw seahorses our last day out, too Sunday is their day off so plan accordingly, the only surprise, and not Michael's...

Any one have a preference for a dive operator to use in St. Lucia. I am going for the first 10 days of November 04 and have been talking to two companies. Dive Fare Helen and Frogs. Anybody have any experience with either, feedback would be great. I am booking the diving before we leave on...

Just joined today; my husband and I have been OW certified for about 18 months, and are doing our best to stay on schedule for one trip every 6 months or so. We go to St. Lucia on 10/31 for 10 days, staying at a hotel or resort in Castries. He has been in touch with Dive Fair Helen and Frogs...
