Well, it looks like my hopes that the Yucatan area would not be damaged by the storm is wrong. Our cruise is diverting to only Belize and Roatan. I have pre-booked dives in both of these spots. I have dived there before and look forward to going again. We leave on Saturday for a week. Because of some engine problems, we are only making the two stops rather than the four we were supposed to make. It still sounds like a lot of fun. Let's hear from the rest of you as well.

We were diverted yet agin. This time we wound up in Progresso, MX and Veracruz, MX. Therefore, no diving at either location. Result - BIG disappointment.

Hi Aeolus, well, as a matter of fact there are some good reefs and wrecks to explore in Veracruz, so anybody going there can indeed go diving. I dive there often -- I have just come back from two days of diving there, as matter of fact!. There are many dive shops along the coastal road that can accomodate anybody's needs. You can see photos of what it is like in here: http://www.inaoep.mx/~itziar/images/ver/veracruz.html
If you (or anybody else) needs further information, please let me know.

hey guys, just went on a great liveaboard cruise to the Similan islands in the andaman sea in thailand. What a wonderful experiance great Viz lots of great corals and saw so many mantas it wasnt funny!! Couple of close encounters with a Titan trigger fish only added to the experiance. the boat M/V Jazz was a delight to be on & with A/C cabins/ensuite bathrooms with hotwater for after those "cold" night dives a treat. All the staff on board were very helpfull & professional. Check out www.siamadventuredivers.com for yourselves................

Have done cruise "Presidents' Week" for the last 14 or 15 years (only diving for last 11). Most of the cruises was able to dive in 2 to 4 of the ports. This year doing 8 day to Panama and was supposed to be Cozumel and Costa Rica. About two weeks ago got fax that Coz was changed to Costa Maya. As far as I can figure out, no diving in Panama, and none in Costa Rica. So that only leaves one dive stop.
