    Trip in Two Days: Worried about Batteries at Airport

    We went to Cozumel and going down there it was no problem in our carry-on. The Mexican Government officials confiscated a brand new unopened package of 24 AA batteries from my A/V case. They WILL confiscate them in carry-on (as of May 2013). They also told us if the batteries had been in our...

    Trip Report- March 8-15, Hotel Cozumel AI, dove w Dive Paradise.

    We rarely take the taxis. We usually always rent a car, jeep or scooter. Scooters are as expensive as a rental car, but easier to park. We stay at Hotel Cozumel and Resort and have no complaints, for the cost it is as good as any hotel I've stayed in Louisiana (just kidding guys, don't get...

    Attacked by shark, stitches his own wound and goes for a beer

    Once you have the edges approximated just watch for infection. I would've just gotten one of my MD friends to rx some abx, no need for a ED visit after you already sutured it.

    They instructed us that air was added to the drysuit only to relieve squeeze, not for bouancy control.

    Drysuit demo doofus or 4 strikes and I'm out...

    My wife and I did the DUI Demo Tour last Saturday in Beaver Lake in northwest Arkansas. I am very grateful to DUI for the experience. We didn't think it was worth the work of getting suited up and the expense for us personally, BUT if I do decide to go dry, it will be DUI as the darn thing...

    Need advice about booking a dive trip from a cruise

    I agree that diving with an operator outside of the cruise can be cheaper and you might get to see more. My wife and I generally like to fly to and stay in Cozumel. From Little Rock we can fly in, stay a week or so all inclusive (AI) and fly home for around a grand each. This year we chose to...

    FINALLY!!! A VACATION!!! OMG!!! Going for 15 days, staying at Sabor. AAAH!!!!

    Personally I believe there should be a font reserved specifically for sarcasm. Meanwhile, back at the farm...Congratulations OP for a probably well earned and overdue vacation. Cozumel has been the most cost effective and enjoyable vacations I have ever taken. My wife and I have been several...

    Leisurepro bait and switch

    I subscribe to their page, it was the only time it was posted on my page. I did over react...a bit. I will probable continue to order from them if they have something I want/need at a reasonable price. The post wasn't far down my page. I also realize mistakes happen, but I did click the link...

    Leisurepro bait and switch

    I guess I shouldn't complain too much, my Seaquest is only 5 years old and holding up fine. I don't have to worry about how much it weighs, I wear it on the plane. It was just dissappointing to click the link repeatedly and not get what I was expecting. I have heard stupidity is doing the...

    Leisurepro bait and switch

    The link was about 1-1 1/2 pages down on my fb, it had 4-5 comments on it where people had tried to purchase the BCD and no one could get thru. I left the fb page up, ate dinner and came back to it at which time "this page has been removed" was all I could get. Won't buy it now anyway.

    Leisurepro bait and switch

    Did anyone else see the leisurepro facebook add for the Aeris 5 Oceans BCD for $199.00? It wasn't up long and when you click the link it went to Leisurepro's page listing the BCD for $349.95. Thats just wrong! If you're gonna ad for it, DO IT! Needless to say, they won't be getting any more...

    Buoyancy question

    I can't swim, so I wear a BC to float once I swim back to the top. I dive with 0-2 pounds in fresh water with AL80 and usually 8 pounds with 3mil shorty in Na H20. In the quarry and pool I also am a fan of an aluminum backplate harness (just something to strap a tank to) and no weight. My best...

    Accomplished Bad Divers - John Chatterton's Blog

    The only time I have been out of air is cleaning my swimming pool, but I did surface once with less than 100psi gauge (after the safety stop).
