SB'ers in Cozumel -- March

[Giggi]

We had to cancel due to family illness. Advice for everyone: buy trip insurance! (even if you're planning last minute and positive nothing could happen before you leave)

I am enjoying your posts and learning a lot. Thanks for the dive reports. Please continue the running commentary!Maybe I overlooked it but what has the water temperature been?

Glad I can help.

The temperature has been pretty consistently around 78, according to my bottom timer. My computer has it a little lower. We had a couple of dives around 75.

I just blindly threw my 3 mm in the luggage and went with it. I have been borderline chilled all week, and actually cold a couple of times. Part of that is caused by the bottom times you get with 120's. I hit 85 minutes on one dive. If I had to do it again, I would have at least included a hood, and I might have brought my 5 mm instead. The DM's on all the dives were pretty well decked out. One wore a 7 mm and a hood.

Aldora includes big, fleece-lined parkas which are very nice during the post dive travelling. If you are going with someone else, I suggest you bring something you can pull on to keep warm.

I didn't use to be a weenie, but apparently I have reached that stage.

Yeah...My computer registered 75 today, and on the second dive I could really feel it with a 5mm. I was teeth-chattering cold on the boat coming back. I think I may win the biggest cold wimp contest, but the other two divers were wearing those chin-strap hoods.

I must be in the weenie stage too. I'll definitely pack the 5mm & hood. Thanks for the heads up!

Hello All,

John and Katie, staying at Caribe Blu, diving with BA. March 15th - 20th.

Only have 3mils, but will probably go pick up some hoods!

Anything seasonal in the water right now?

Already dreading having to come back home. =)
