    SportDiver Videos

    I have been trying out my new SportDiver with my iPhone 13 Pro Max while in Cozumel over the last week or so. Overall I like it but it's not perfect. My question is this: why does it randomly record my videos in slow motion and how can I make it stop. I have not been able to find anything in the...

    Can you ID this shark?

    This shark was seen in the Mexican Caribbean. About 40 feet of water. 300-400 yards off shore. Probably about 3-4 feet in length. I don't want to give more specific location info because I don't want to bias your opinion.

    Anyone know about a dive fatality in February...?

    Just came back from Cozumel on Monday. I did not hear any talk of February fatalities but there was at least one during the last week in March. Crazy currents on the reef. Something about the water temperatures changing and causing some severe down-currents on the walls. A few people were pulled...

    Cozumel resort/dive centre for new Open Water divers?

    In Cozumel we really love Hotel Cozumel and Resort. Their all-inlcusive (all food and all drinks) is so affordable that you don't feel bad taking the short walk into town some nights for dinner at some of the great restaurants. Their on-site dive op is Dive Paradise. A great outfit. Lots of...

    I have the DC 1200 and it comes with a wide angle lens. Don't know of any macro lenses for these cameras. I am looking for tips on getting good crisp focus close-up shots. In Cozumel I was trying to capture some of those beautiful little sea slugs - maybe a half inch in length. Everytime I...

    Improve breathing

    Also, keep yourself in good physical shape. I have found that slimming down and working out regularly really does help your air consumption. Slimming down will also help you to need less external weight which will also help you to use less air.

    best place in Cozumel

    Just got back from Cozumel Monday night. We always dive with Dive Paradise. Love the DM's and boat crews. A lot of people complain about the slower boats but it give us a chance to get to know (and evaluate) other divers on the boat. Some time you might have six people on a boat sometime...

    Emergency Oxygen

    A couple of years ago my wife and I had some money left over in our healthcare flex spending account that allows us to use pre-tax money for health related costs. It was a use it or lose it scenario so we investigated and found that it would cover the cost of a DAN emergency O2 first aid kit. I...
