    Diving/Snorkling Cenotes with my 2 kids

    My son was 14 when he tried cenote diving at Casa Cenote and that was after he had 40 dives experience. He was tested for buoyancy control, equipment removal and donning and other skills before he was allowed to dive in the cenote. I understand why this was done. Casa Cenote is more of an...

    Sherwood Avid tank band breaks loose

    I also have a Sherwood Avid BC. I am dreading the day that this happens. I enjoy my Avid but have concerns that it should happen during a dive. As reported, it could be a safety issue unless you have knowledge of the problem and are prepared to take the appropriate action. Too bad that there...

    Ferry explosion in Playa del Carmen

    I am not accusing you but, your moniker does raise a slight bit of suspicion. As a fellow Canuckistan, I know that it is not possible.

    Hello fellow Divers!

    It's been years since I have been to Thompson or the Pas. I was there for work during the summer. Can't say that I miss the Thompson Turkeys in the morning outside my hotel window. It takes a special type of person to survive up In Northern Manitoba. You really have to love the outdoors and...

    Hello fellow Divers!

    That is funny. I am from Toronto and I miss the weather in Ontario. Waiting for it thaw out here so that I can do some dives in July when the water will be bearable. In the meantime, heading to Mexican Riviera in two weeks so that I can stop this dive itch.

    To Catch the Dream: My Journey from Open Water to Dive Instructor

    Great story! This is like Star Wars, I can’t wait till the next episode. I am happy that your confidence is building up. I think all scuba divers are hard on themselves as we as a group try to attain the perfect trim, buoyancy and air usage. I hope that the coast guard lets you dive soon.

    Rinsing and storing gear on cruise ships

    Bring a few bungee cords to hold down your equipment. I did this with my wetsuit on the chair on balcony so that I would not have to worry about the wind taking it away. Spare string from your smb reel works great also.

    Anybody know anything about the dive boat that sunk this morning?

    Having money on board is not uncommon. There are many operators that prefer cash rather than credit cards or PayPal to settle the account at the end of the dives. I am not certain if this person was by himself or with a group and he was responsible for payment. I carry my cash in a waterproof...

    Biggest thing killing dive shops?

    The price of equipment is costly. Most divers are of the warm water vacation type. Why purchase equipment when you have to pay fees for a second piece of luggage consisting of your equipment. I have heard that a few dive operations will provide dive equipment for you to use if you are diving...

    Bull Shark Diving in Playa

    My son and i were on a dive last year in playa del carmen when we encountered bull sharks during the dive. We watched as they circled us for a few minutes and the bull sharks left when it became apparent that they were not going to be fed. The guide had us in a circle watching each other's back...

    Cozumel

    An excellent video! I admire how you were able to capture the different sizes of life that are underwater from the tiny shrimp and fish to the spotted eagle rays. The colour, focus and steadiness of the video is fantastic. This is a great video to show someone of the possibilities that...

    Diving in Akumal June 28-July 5

    I hope you have a great time. I spent two weeks in Akumal this past March. My son and I were diving with Natalie and Ivan and we found them to be excellent. All our dives were an adventure and relaxing. Each new site brought different sea life and a whole new perspective. I hope you have a...
