    Orcas

    It sounds like maybe it was a different pod. I didn't get pictures, but I don't remember any white markings at all - they were dark grey all over. When I got back, one of the other DMs said that the recent storms in the area might have gotten them on the move. (?) So maybe there were multiple...

    Orcas

    I was on the same boat with jwilson05 and his wife. I posted about the pilot whales on Facebook - just checked my status and yep, it was July 14th. It was after our second dive (which was Cedral, so probably about the same time as the other group). We counted about five or so but it was hard to...

    Can you still buy Cipro in Coz w/o seeing a dr there?

    I hope I can springboard off this thread with another question about pharmacies. I am in Coz now and brought my prescription for my migraine medicine from my last physical. Since I am on a deductible drug plan, I will pay either way, and figured it might be less expensive in Cozumel than in the...

    Cozumel in November 2009

    Well, I was planning a trip in November but with all the drug deaths and dive knives, I'm kind of afraid to go... HAH! TOTALLY KIDDING! I'll be there November 22-28, diving with Scuba Mau and probably staying at the Villa Blanca. 93 days to go according to the countdown clock on my computer.

    Cozumel in July 2009

    Sigh...my 3 weeks in Cozumel came to an end as I returned home last night. It is going to be a difficult adjustment, I can tell. Final tally - 36 dives with Scuba Mau, I've already said it but I love these guys. Got my AOW certification with Mau - next stop, rescue. Dove my deepest dive ever...

    Casa Denis July 18

    Let me check with my friends...it is their last night in town so I know we'll be having dinner somewhere. We ate at Casa Denis earlier this week and it was good...so it definitely wouldn't be a hardship to do it again, or if you're up for alternates that's good too. I'll let you know our gameplan.

    Whaleshark trip week of July 18-26?

    I got your PM. :) I am still considering...trying to stay on budget but this might be hard to resist. Anyway, I'm not quite ready to commit yet so I'm not going to voice an opinion on the day vs. half day issue. Hopefully a group will get formed without me so I can jump in at the last...

    Whaleshark trip week of July 18-26?

    Dives have been awesome...today we dove Columbia Deep and Delila - sharks were the requested critter of the day and we saw 3 including 2 huge nurse. I namedropped you to both Gabi and Opal today and...well, I probably shouldn't tell you what they said... :lotsalove: kidding! They said...

    Whaleshark trip week of July 18-26?

    I am interested. I'll have to check pricing and see if it's in my budget but it's already been recommended to me three times today. Apparently it's pretty neat.

    Cozumel in July 2009

    Dove my first dives today after arriving yesterday afternoon. Santa Rosa Wall and Yucab Wall. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Diving with Scuba Mau...DM Gabi Loco located a seahorse for me and five humongous sea turtles for my friend. Now that's service! I'm about 8000 times more relaxed at this moment...

    Cozumel in July 2009

    I saw your thread in the Swamp Divers forum. Now that you have experienced Cozumel, I'll be you're really missing CSSP, aren't you? (I dove CSSP today...I saw like TWO WHOLE fish. You're jealous now, huh?):D

    wreck & cenote cozumel advice please

    I dove in Cozumel shortly after certification last summer. There has been lots of good advice in this thread, but I'll just offer one more thought: let your dive op know that you are new. For the most part any dive you go on is going to be similar to another - drift dive, lots of fishies to...

    Cozumel in July 2009

    That will be my friends' last night in town. I can certainly check with them and see if they want to do a combination farewell/welcome dinner that evening. Good food always appeals to me!
