Trip Review: Tres Pelicanos (3Ps) & Casa Mexicana

[sinistar]

Enjoyed your report! Got an off-the-wall question, gonna sound a bit strange. Guy named Frank who used more weight than one might expect, dives Cozumel a number of times and uses Tres Pelicanos. My memories bad on names and details, but was he a fairly lean, average height, caucasian guy who's prone to get cold, and looks like this:

I think that's him on the left-most:

Probably a long shot. If it was him, he likely did both morning and afternoon trips, and spent surface intervals at the Money Bar, like in that 1st shot. I may be mixing up my details badly, but it'd bug me if I didn't ask.

Richard.

Sorry, different Frank. This was (our Franks) his first time with 3P, only dove mornings.

Ive been diving with julio for years. He's a great dm. If you want to see the tiny stuff he is the man.

It's crazy what he finds. Same goes for Antonio (Dive Paradise) those two guys could find Nudi's anywhere.

Ha!

Truth be told....it's mainly to warm up!!! I crank the AC and just crash on those awesome beds...well their AC works great too! So when I wake up its freezing in there.

If it's helps any I take a shower right after diving

Crazy tourists! They want cold a/c and hot water.

Great review and pics, sinistar. Thanks for sharing. Is it just me or is that lobster tie-dyed?!

Nice review! Great pics, especially of the Manta and the Baccaruda.

Duh! I knew that, but I must have had a Brain disconnect (sometimes referred to as a Brain Fxxx). Thank you for the correction!

Enjoyed the report, thank you for posting. Love the description of the delay getting the boat out. I suddenly realized how often that happens! On our last trip I was with a dive op new to me. The boat was delayed about 45 minutes waiting for steering parts. They left us bobbing in the water about 15 minutes ( or it seemed that long) before the boat picked us up each dive. I was worried that the boat was unable to make it to us, given their steering issues. Never again!
Lesson learned:check out the dive op that someone else chose before agreeing to the trip.
