Check out Casa Del Mar. We were trying to decide between there and Vista Del Mar. My friends stayed at Casa Del Mar and said it was great. Dive ops pick you up right at their dock. They have a nice little beach are that looks like you could do some snoreling from (from the pictures). We...

You can't beat the price for a whole family vacation in Cozumel. I have been in contact with a guy that owns a set of 4 private villas there. Each one is 2 BR/2 1/s baths with full LR, DR, and kitchen. All 4 villas share a really nice pool and jacuzzi and there's a BBQ area and a really cool...

I have not done Coz, but have many friends that have done it a lot. I'm going to Coz on their recommendation in Feb. 2006. I have done Bonaire, though. The food was just OK everywhere we ate, and the service was very slow, but we didn't really care. Not much in the way of night life, so if...

Thank you so much. I'm so glad I didn't rely on the villa owners information. I would have booked my trip for the week after it was all over. I was wondering why you said we shouldn't plan to dive until the 2nd? Do the dive operators not work during Carnival? Airfares seem to be cheapest if...

Thanks. I did find out from a local villa owner in Cozumel that Carnival begins Fat Tuesday, which is indeed Feb. 28th in 2006, and that Carnival Sunday is always 7 weeks before Easter, which is March 5th. Now, since we're planning on going Sat. to Sat., we're trying to decide weather to go...

Some friends and myself are planning to visit Cozumel in February....or possibly March. We're either going to be staying at the Vista Del Mar or the Casa Colonial Villas. We'd like to book a week so that we can catch at least some of the Carnival 2006 events. Anyone know the dates or a...

I've noticed that some of the people who respond to these threads actually live in Cozumel. I'm wondering if any of those people can give me any information on the Carnival dates for 2006. We are planning to come to Cozumel in Feb. or March and would like to be there during at least some of...

I also recommend Bonaire. We went in January 2004. The weather was great and the water was the warmest I've ever been diving in. It was 83 degrees on most of our dives. There's also a lot of other things to do. We rented 4-wheelers and toured the whole island on them. We also took a wind...

I just did the Nekton in February. We had a full boat and it still didn't seem too crowded. The have an open dive deck policy which means that they open the dive deck after the morning briefing and you can dive whenever you like, as much as you like, until lunch. Then they move to another...

I've done a number of live aboards. It was definitely the best I've done to date. The crew was the most fun. We had a ball on shore excursions. Have fun. It's going to be a great trip!

I keep reading posting about there not being anything else to do on Bonaire except dive. Those people didn't look around enough. We went horse back riding. We rented 4-wheelers and tooled all over the island. We took a lesson and tried our hand at wind surfing at Lac Bay. We went kayaking...

I think The Bay Islands of Honduras could use another live aboard. I did the Aggressor there and, although the food and the crew was good, the boat was terrible. It's a big steel boat with a shallow draft and so rocks terribly. The cabins are very small. The A/C was not all that great in the...

I think the diving is better in Bonaire than Belize. It's also a much more pleasant place to wander around and do other things. Belize just didn't feel that safe to me......or clean. Bonaire is just so laid back and pristeen. Also, even though it is primarily a diving location, there are...

I put together a singles dive trip aboard the Aqua Cat in the Bahamas in 2004. It turned out great and we all had a fantastic time. My 2005 trip was not a singles trip, but rather was a group of friends met on other trips. Thinking about doing another singles trip in 2006 aboard the Cuan Law...

A group of us looking at the Kona Aggressor for trip next year. We like to get away from cold during winter months. Aggressor said diving best May-September, but of winter months, January is probably best. Some say water is too cold then. Has anyone done any diving there during that time of...

Just did the Nekton in Belize. The boat isn't as pretty as some, but the crew and service are superb. Also, the no-sea-sickness ad is no joke. The swath design is great. The start their itineraries out of Ft. Lauderdale in mid-May.

I've been on half a dozen different live aboards. I just did the Nekton in Belize in Feb. 2005. It isn't the prettiest boat I've been on. We were pretty disappointed when we first boarded. It's a little rusty in spots, the outdoor carpeting could stand to be replaced, and they could use a...
