    Am I fit for scuba diving ?

    Ok, if you are worried about the 200 meter because you might be a sinker, put on a wetsuit that makes you float. The wetsuit would be for keeping you warm in that cold water. I think your doc will be happy to hear you sign up for some activities. Enjoy!

    Puerto Vallarta dive report

    Hola, I have been putting off to update because I was sure we would get temperatures below the 80. But it is just not happening. People are wearing shorties just to be prepared and then you just unzip a little when it is too warm. I like problems like that. Anyhow, hard to say who will be going...

    Kayak diving?

    I have had too many times that other boaters thought they found a kayak with dive flag and all. I am hesitant to go to deep because I want to be able to surface anytime. Otherwise the freedom to go where you want to go and explore beyond is huge. Enjoy!

    Failed Open Water Dive

    It seems to me you thought you had to take all the blame. Not so, your instructor and shop should have anticipated some of these problems. After all, they are the professionals. It is ok to help somebody carry the gear. Dive within your experience and capabilities. If you need help, just ask. If...

    Puerto Vallarta dive report

    The whales are back in the bay today at Los Arcos. Not much beats diving surrounded by the sounds of whales. Lots of eagle rays and dolphins makes it all perfect. Enjoy, Johan, GRINS.

    Dyslexic Diver needs advice!

    It sounds to me that you are well on your way and maybe you will write study material some day. Many manuals are written by people that do all those things every day and for many years and then they think that we know what they were meaning to tell us. Anyhow, I have seen more people struggle...

    Poor experience with Nautilus Dive Tech, Cabo San Lucas

    And take a deep breath . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . and exhale. If you had just hopped on a boat, then that is what could happen, but apparently you had the discussion before you paid. Next one will be better. I hope.

    Got my wife underwater for the first time!

    My wife has decided to be my eternal-discover-scuba-diving-student. So hand in hand we go, not deeper than 40 ft. and that is fine with me. She has about 20 dives and I look forward to the next one.

    Puerto Vallarta dive report

    Hola, the temperature has dropped a little but still all above the 80F. Personally I have not used a wetsuit yet, but others have used a 3 mill full or 5 mill shorty, specially for the deeper dives. We just had a horrible red-tide move through. I am happy all that is gone now again. Vissability...

    Tipping in Los Cabos

    I am all in favor of tipping people that deserve it. Now, a teacher makes 600 to 700 dollar amonth here. A 5 to 10 dollar tip from just one diver is pretty good compared to that and I am sure much appreciated. But I would like to warn you, there are some real weasels out there. Sharing the tips...
