Try Bottom Time Divers - Raul Owner/DM. I use them. Pedro Pablo and Raul, worked together at what was Blue Bubble then together at BlueXTsea. Raul left to start his own business and has been doing so for many years. It is very similar in operation to BlueXTSea and other boutique dive ops (8...

Having stayed at a few Sandals and St Lucia twice (but not Halcyon), I would go with your plan of an outside dive op. The Sandals boats are nice and they are professional but the dives are short and regimented. There will be alot of honeymoon and vacation divers so the dives are catered to...

Your wind speeds are in Km/h. Mine is set to knots. It might be what is causing some confusion - your earlier screenshots don't have units.

True. Party boats too. We go further out where it's deeper. You can snorkel or dive it and with small boats.

It was in the flats on one of the sites in the park. I don't remember which. Greater than 10 feet FSW. A bit unusual. At El Cielo they are in the sand mostly. This one as you can see has alot of rock rubble around it.

Tourists are taken to northern beach clubs by the busload and have for some time in full view of the taxis parked outside them. I am shocked that no swimmers, snorkelers or divers on the north end haven't been run over by jet skis, the little go fast boats, the jet boats running tourists to...

A couple more. The board is telling me a few of the jpegs are too large. So... nada for those. Spotted Eagle Ray Same Ray just a passing shot and a bit clipped Yellow stingray

More photos Hawksbill turtle Lettuce Sea slug Loggerhead Turtle Nurse Shark Coral at Palancar Gardens and Chromis. I am still trying to get the shot with the chromis ball around the coral but they either dive into it or scatter.

March 2024 Cozumel I had six days diving mid to late march 2024. Mid week the south winds picked up and the Palancars were closed and the port closed at noon one day and remained closed until 9 am the next day. After that the weather was good. On the windy days the seas made getting up the...

I got my park pass today, which the government calls Pasaporte del la Conservacion. It is still via Conanp. I was a bit later in getting this year and in previous years I could do it online. It is btw, for all national parks with some exceptions which I don't know. However the site to buy a...

We were there many years ago in Aug and it was mostly hot and muggy. If it did rain, it did not last long. I do remember some overcast days. We did go diving anytime we wanted so rain did not interfere. I think we were there during a particularly hot summer so we did have a shallow dive with...

Rangiroa is good. Dolphins in the pass and Mantas on the outside the reef. Fakarava is better IMO. Both better than Moorea though I did like diving it. Lots of lemon sharks there in addition to black tip reef sharks. If you go to Rangiroa (or even Fakarava), make sure you have a boat going...

Welcome. Originally from Golden. Enjoy.

I use Bottom time divers and have done so for many years and more when the DM/owner of BTD was working for Blue Bubble (gone/sold) and BlueXtSea. He deals with all ranges of experience. We always dive our computer and air and you will have AL 80's or AL100's if you ask. He has an 8 pack boat...

Well done

Occasionally some of the mirrored databases for fishbase are not reachable (like .org for me that sometimes says page not found). In many cases it will automatically redirect.

Fishbase and whatsthatfish are free. Seems the fish ID book is already paid for by someone. So borrow the reef creature - free.

Reef Creature Tropical Pacific Humann and Deloach. Fishbase.se and Whatsthatfish.com. The latter can be a bit thin but it's a start. These have some "non-fish" IDs. I assume you want pacific. Nudibranch and Sea slug Identification, Indo pacific, Gosliner et al Seahorses and cuttlefish are...

It's been quite a long time since we dove those two but yes there is current there but the surge caused us to work more. 3 steps forward and two back. It was manageable though. I have been in much stronger currents in Cozumel. There were vacation divers (of which we were technically but at...

If you are talking to me, then yes, that is the correct link in facebook. And whatsapp is better. I almost never use email here.
