Is the taxi driver's story validated by anyone other than the taxi driver?

I think that is wishful thinking. It would be tough for a survivalist to get by in this jungle for weeks.

Well setting aside that I'm not sure they are making money - as Gary mentioned a lot of them are just bad businessmen with an ego - there are businesses that don't go for the jugular just because they think they can but take pride in offering a solid product at a fair price. We dive with...

I've been all over Cozumel and prices have climbed a lot in the last 3-4 years but that's not what I'm talking about, Ernesto's has way outpaced the average here. Their model seems to be to make all their money off a few cruise suckers. Makes no sense to me to make weak drinks. Drunk people...

To be honest, I. more disappointed in their prices. Waterfront location, I get it. They were always a bit expensive at $10-15 for a couple of fish tacos or burrito or lunch-sized fajitas. A few months ago we went in, as we routinely do after diving while the gear is drying, and everything was...

Find a place without music, place a bluetooth speaker on the table, and run a Mexican/Caribbean/Reggae playlist on your phone.

You're an amazing friend, my friend would have had to join me wherever I had been having tacos and beers for the past two hours.

One of my concerns would be that he has gotten off the island. It may have already been done but I would show his pictures and talk to lots of ferry employees to rule that out.

They make you take that one hour break, lol.

Has there been a reward offered?

While they are flooding English social media, 95% or more of the people on the island are not involved in this. Most of those that are seeing these posts are not even there to search. And those that are are not thinking about it all day. I bet most could look right at him and not know who they...

The person reporting may be one of his relatives that is not familiar with the island at all.

I would rule them out for not posting prices on their website.

I wasn't talking about an SMB at safety stop but a big float the entire dive.

I'm not talking about laws or new divers or CYA advice. I simply said that I feel towing a float makes me less safe. It's one more point of task loading. I can clip off my camera if I have to help a buddy or share air but are you going to clip off the float (bad idea) or let it go? It's also...

That was a tragic incident but would not have been affected by this policy. Cameron started the dive with a buddy and had his own tanks. You could also stay somewhere like Blue Angel or Villa Aldora or other places where they have tanks set out for guest use and no one is checking, you just grab...

It's not a matter of how far out to go. Most of the stuff is within 100 feet of shore. After that is 500-1000 feet of seagrasses until you reach white sand and the reef. I'd advise against it as it is a very long swim and risky if anything goes wrong. Near shore just to the south is a replica of...

It's a random crime with no evidence that it has previously occurred or will continue to occur with any meaningful frequency. If anything, it might send a signal to any would-be robbers that the buses are off limits and police will pull out the stops to deal with it.

Were they fair pricing up front or did you have to haggle?

I'll let you know my findings on April 21.
