    Bringing back some of Cozumel

    Just finished our first day of diving with Blue XT Sea. Weather wasn't great, visibility was less than usual and it still was fantastic. Had dinner last night at El Moro, finished off with an after-dinner drink called Xtabentún. First tried it a few years ago at Dandy Don's birthday party...

    Need trip cancellation insurance advice

    My son and I are leaving for Bonaire on July 19, less than 2 weeks away. I've had DAN's highest level of insurance for several years, so I've got medical, evacuation and equipment coverage taken care of. As my trip gets closer, everyone in my family is getting sick from stuff going around...

    Buddy Dive resort questions

    Well, hopefully United Airlines figures out why my Chase miles aren't showing up after I transferred them and I can finalize my trip to Bonaire in July. This is our first time there and we are looking to stay at Buddy Dive. Couple of questions. It says that the rooms have safe deposit boxes...

    Did the research on where to stay, can't decide.

    Need help on this. My first trip to Bonaire in late August, going with my 19 year old son. I've narrowed it down to 4 places, Buddy, Capt Don, Coral Paradise and Divi. Price is an object but from what I'm seeing, all will be within a few hundred bucks of each other. But, cheaper is better...

    United strikes deal with pilots

    Just read in Houston Chron that United just arrived at an agreement with its pilots. Looks like the August cool kids have one less thing to worry about. Just need Ernesto to stay away now.

    Need help with Coz trip plan

    Any input would be appreciated. I've only been to Cozumel twice, once on a 1 day cruise stop and later on a short 4 night trip, so I'm a Cozumel novice. I've got enough miles on United to do 2 economy round trips to Cozumel from San Antonio, Texas in August. For some reason, unless I do either...

    Question about hyperbaric chamber rides

    I got certified back in 1981, but only went on 4 dives up until last year. Since last year when I got my son certified, I've done 32 dives, putting me in the category of having enough experience to confidently get myself into trouble. Although I am very claustrophobic, I love diving. Its...

    Intova IC12 question-red lens and flash diffuser

    Hi Intova folks, I bought an Intova IC12 earlier this year, used it in Cozumel and Grand Cayman with mixed results. Once I got the white balance worked out, the pictures came out great. But, based upon your recommendation, I got the red lens filter so I wouldn't have to manually do the...

    Time from landing to getting our feet wet?

    OK, son and I scheduled to land at 11:30AM in Cozumel. Trying to plan our first day. With our package deal we get All-inclusive, room and dives at Hotel Cozumel/Dive Paradise. If we touch down at 11:30, what would be a good estimate as to how long before we deplane (hopefully no checked bags...

    Hi from the cradle of Texas liberty!

    Hi, just joined the board this week, thought I'd post here and introduce myself. I live in San Antonio Texas. Been certified since 1981 by the now defunct NASDS. I've only gone on 5 dives in the last 30 years and none since my honeymoon 15 years ago. I just got my 17 year old son (from my...
