Yeah, where'd everyone go? I see you're still here sharky.

Hi Tom! Good to hear all is well. Sounds like some great trips on your itinerary.

I've only been going to Coz. since '95, but now that you mention it I remember hearing about that. That sucks. After seeing this thread I did a little searching of reviews again. Came up with a molestation claim that I had forgotten about, and I seem to remember a rape claim. But that would...

Several months ago a guy on another message board, not a diving forum, was going to Cancun and wanted to do a Discover Scuba course. The in-house shop at his resort was Aquaworld, so I did a little looking around for him. ALL reviews I found on multiple sites were TERRIBLE. Every thing from...

I've always went in August...for the cheaper flights and hotel. Yeah, it's hot and humid but I was always just fine. Just don't go for a two mile run at 2:00 in the afternoon. There's a reason the shops used to close down in the afternoon for siesta. I guess a comparison would be the first...

Yup, Mateo was who I was talking about.

I stayed there when it was Caribe Blu. It's not a fancy resort type place but I really liked it. LARGE rooms, pool, just a few steps to the pier, dive op. on-site. We'd have breakfast at their cafe before leaving for the dives. I've walked to the plaza a few times from there but I'd rather take...

Yeah, that's the last I heard...he was helping take care of the family business and it was time consuming. TwoBit may be your best bet.

Sure, you just did. :D Oh, if you're talking about TexasMike I haven't heard anything about him in years. You might pm Tom (TwoBitTxn) and see if he knows anything.

Sounds good. I see Frank around town from time to time...and he's not hard to find anyway. My tank is WAY out of hydro and my regs. need checked out. Now is a good time to get that done. Also need to check the battery in my computer, make sure my mask skirt hasn't deteriorated with age (like I...

After seeing this thread I just HAD to see if mine was still in the closet...it was. And I found my old DIMWIT DIVERS t-shirt. Kinda gets me itchin' for a Swampers get-together at CSSP. Been quite awhile. Hi Tony!

Looks like this may turn into a peeing match. Can we get back to the OP's original question? It's ALL good as far as the reefs are concerned. As has been mentioned, just make sure you make the dive op. aware that it's your first time there. It should be covered on the sheet that the dive shop...

I have one, or two, around here...somewhere. Last time I used one was when I went snorkeling at Chankanaab park about 2004 or 2005. Or was that 2003? :D

As has been said, Clear Springs Scuba Park is popular with the Dallas/Ft. Worth people as it is "fairly" close with a max. depth of ~ 60 ft. Although I've never been there, Possum Kingdom Lake gets pretty good reviews. A bit farther away, but another "real" lake as opposed to a quarry, is...

I would gladly make an attempt (no guarantees on this kind of thing) on a grid search but I would have to drive about 3 hours and have hotel/meals/etc. expenses on top of the recovery fee. Have you tried your local, or surrounding area, fire dept. dive teams to see if a couple of divers would...

Hi Craig! Yeah, it's been awhile for me too. I need to go up to the dive shop at Broken Bow and get my regs. checked out and my tank hydroed and a viz. done on it. It sucks having to drive 45 miles or so to get to a dive shop. :( Saw Frank yesterday; the legal assistant that works for an...

Frank, was that you that honked, when you went by the house, on your way to Broken Bow this morning? I really need to get back in the water again.

Just wanted to dip in and say "HI!". Was going through the closet and found my Swamp Divers T-shirt that has the original mistakes on it and thought I'd see who was still on here. Frank (Timeliner) how are the tunnels going now..since I got stuck in that one?

Hi txsharpshooter, welcome to the swamp! I haven't been diving much lately, but myself, Timeliner, and Firefyter are about 90 miles west of you. You can check out profiles on the TSD roster. I'm about 45 minutes from Broken Bow and Timeliner (aka Frank) and Firefyter (aka Tom) are a little over...

FRANK! I didn't even hear you honk as you went by. :D Tony...sorry to hear about that. As you know...been there done that except it's been topside.
