Hola! My fiance and I will be in Cozumel Oct 16th-26th, staying at Iberostar down at the south end of the island. We're looking for recommendations of Dive Operators that will pick us up at the resort to dive the Cozumel Wreck. Unfortunately Dressel Divers at Iberostar doesn't offer this dive...

My fiance and I will be there Oct 16th-26th. Diving with Dressel Divers at Iberostar(south end of the island)

My wife and I will be there Oct. 17-26th We have no idea where to stay or who to dive with. Park Royal is currently at the top of our list

Hola, Looking for some opinions / thoughts on places to stay and who to dive with. My wife and I are considering a trip to Cozumel in mid October for 7-10 days, we are both experienced Master SCUBA Divers. We have been to the Mayan Riviera before and dove Cozumel but only as day trips from...

Yes, however, asking questions and making insinuations or suggesting that transport was delayed or that transporting the patient with ongoing CPR / BLS (Proven to be insufficiently effective) would be better then waiting for an Airevac based on a google map is very different. What you have...

1. Studies clearly show that CPR in the back of a moving ambulance is less the half the effectiveness of on scene stable CPR let alone inside of a helicopter. 2. The drive that google says takes 29 minutes is with no traffic. Even with lights and sirens that is at least a 30-40 minute transport...

Great write-up and photos

For PADI: 5 Adventure dives + 5 Knowledge Reviews = AOW Each Specialty is 1 classroom session and 2-3 dives each AOW does not certify you in any of the chosen adventures, but merely gives you a few skills and insight. Depending on instructors, your Adventure Dives may count towards your...

Plumb_bob, There are a lot of good LDS's to choose from, I personally recommend The Edge in North Vancouver. They have full rentals available. As for transportation, it might be a bit of an issue. The common local dive sites are about 25-40km north of Vancouver. Whytecliff / Porteau Cove are...

Drysuit....

I'll most likely be at the edge dive on Sunday so we'll see you there

2 thumbs up for back inflate. Me and my girlfriend both have a back inflate. - Great for travel - Streamline - More Comfortable - More horizontal position / better trim The only downside is they tend to push you forward at the surface when inflated. Correct distribution of weight (trim...

I don't have any experience with the geo, it looks pretty streamline and small for traveling. I do however have the ScubaPro Seahawk and LOVE it. It is also streamline and great for traveling but also has a back inflate bladder.

I usually dive 36% at the end of the dive I usually have around 1000psi left, I then get my LDS to top it up with clean air and end up with about 27% for the second fill. It is essentially a slightly cheaper way of diving nitrox on each dive. My refill or second fill is variable and my NDL is...

Duct tape + spray paint /shrug

Yes, Same with Porteau. Be sure to get to either place early, like before 10:00am

Viz Last weekend (Sunday) was excellent. If you have not dove at Porteau before the Viz can and usually does drastically change with the tide. High tide is best for Viz. Whytecliff Park is also another popular spot, about 20 mins south of Porteau, but Porteau is more interesting. Whytecliff is...

Hi Stuart, These lights are retailing for between $175 and $200CDN new at LDS's and $150 USD online. I realize your light is new and has the rechargeable battery pack. I am looking for a new primary light but am hesitant to buy used(even if new) for the same price at the LDS Good Luck

I have a little bit of free time on my hands and was wondering if there were any volunteer opportunities in the Vancouver Area for SCUBA Divers? I was thinking something along the lines of fish counts, research etc .... Research interestes me the most. If anyone knows of anything or knows...

Also another thought, how comfortable are you with your buoyancy, to you tend to hug the bottom? Perhaps working on hovering further off the bottom might get you more comfortable and get your brain trained to know your not going to suddenly sink into the abyss.
