      Been reading all your Cozumel stuff to plan a first trip there next year! Truly appreciate your efforts! Can’t thank you enough!

      Richard, I have a friend who is 6' 8" and with a size 15 foot. I know you have posted previously about dive boots for larger feet. I am too lazy to look through all your posts to find it. What boots did you recommend for large footed individuals. Intended use is shore diving Bonaire. Thanks -- Greg

      Thanks for the report drrich2. Enjoyed reading it and viewing the photos. I dive here in Southern CA every Sunday, shore dives around the Palos Verdes peninsula. Now if you can do a report in that kind of detail for Cozumel....

        Trying to write up a compare & contrast of food options, places to stay, things to do...I think Cozumel would fry my brain! Data overload!!!

      Thanks! Glad to see you posting info. about St. Croix. It's a destination with a good rep. for boat diving, plus the much coveted warm water oceanic shore diving, but just doesn't seem to get all that much buzz. It's almost like it's the 'middle child' between the Florida Keys (boat) and Bonaire (shore). I suspect one issue is that cruise ships don't hit St. Croix as much as St. Thomas.
