    Cancun has free carts readily available. Cozumel has none. Lubbock porters collect them quickly and put them back in the machines.
    You can test the tanks you breathe or - dive on hope.
    Testing is safer...


    Great news for vacation divers who cannot talk themselves into buying a personal CO tank tester!

    >> Rent one for a week or longer here <<
    Now let's see more CO readings in your trip reports, ok...??

    Be careful.. some of the international airlines only allow you 15lbs carryon bags...and they weigh them.
    This surface interval is WAY TOO LONG!!!

    you've been stopped just the once and that was ten years ago, well that does not make me wrong!!!

    In all my years of air travel, I made 24 flights in 2010 with six different airlines to six different destinations and I have only once had my carry on bag weighed [Continental]
    which by the way was 10kg
    and my travel companion had 18kg in her carryon wheelie bag + a lap top bag
    and they let us both through

    However, if they do want to weight me wearing my rain jacket ... no problem
    I only weigh 52kg so I'm less then the average air traveller
