Thanks for your detailed info about Galapagos in Jan of 2020. Did most of your dives require negative entries with quick descents? I've had some ear problems on my current Caribbean trip and don't think I should do quick descents head first. Should I avoid Galapagos or do you think a January trip on a live aboard would be ok?

I'm back

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....

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.

Greetings drrich2;
Thank you for being such an active member of ScubaBoard and for the upbeat positivity and impartiality. Always good to read from you.
