My wife and I also stayed at Casa De Gopala and liked it. I think it was $40 a night. There are quite a few small hotels in the same price range in Playa.

holy #$%^

Thanks Dave. I'll let him know. I don't think he'll be too happy tho. Frank

A friend of mine moved to the US from Germany. He brought his very nice Scubapro tanks with him, but the local dive shops won't fill them because they do not have a DOT stamp on them. Can someone help me out here? Does he have any options for getting these tanks up to code or are they useless...

I also used Protec for my full cave cert. I did it all at once. I think it was fairly stressful, but the guys at Protec were great.

And if the Gin doesn't work on the affected area, try it internally.

AND Dive-RiteExpress will ship it free!

FYI: You can get the Dive Rite wings with a shorter inflator and without the pull dump. (You have to pay extra for the options, however).

The first couple of shows were ok when they dove the Doria and U352. I think they're running out of mysteries.

Take the Riviera bus from Cancun to Playa Del Carmen ($65 pesos)... then take the ferry to Coz ($180 pesos)...

Generally, I tip $5 per day (per diver). I usually tip daily as opposed to at the end of the trip because the DM/boat crew can change from day to day.

I was diving with Deep Blue just last week... A first rate operation... Sounds like the divers in the article didn't know what they were doing.

It appears the dive certifications are being dumbed down a bit. I just learned that my wife's OW instructor never taught dive tables at all. All the students used computers. I'm not sure which agency.

I think you can conclude that different fins work/don't work for different people. It can be difficult (and expensive) to find what works for you. -F

Unfortunately, Diego has moved on, so I think it's just Dave and Nicola running the shop.

Try Abyss (http://www.abyssdiveshop.com) or Yucatek (http://www.yucatek.com).

I'll be in Playa from the 21st-28th. Will be heading over to Coz for a few dives, however.

Can we change the topic of this thread to "What some people will do for 20 bucks"?

It depends on your weighting situation. If you require a lot of weight (like when you dive dry), a SS plate is the way to go. If not a lot of weight is required (like when diving in warm water), you should choose an aluminum plate.
