    A guy rode his bike past us by the punta langosta ferry pier 2 yrs ago and we heard a loud BANG! The guy flew up in the air, full flip and landed flat on his back... Sounded just like when charlie brown hits the ground when lucy pulled the football. As I grabbed my wife to hit the deck like...

    Traveling on a budget

    Again, I 100% disagree with any of this. I've never been robbed on the island. I've never been overcharged for anything and yes I've haggled at shops, but I enjoy it. Cab rates are published so if you over pay it's noones fault but your own. There is crime everywhere BTW, I suggest you stay...

    Traveling on a budget

    A little over exaggerated. In close to 30 trips to Cozumel, I was blown out once due to El Norte and that was the only December trip I've taken there. All other trips were between April and November and not once blown out. There is NOTHING cheap about Cayman, TnC, or almost any island with...

    "disposable regulators" vs servicing?

    I've thought l about this for years... if I got 50% back on the regular to be used ona new one, saved the $150 on the servicing it always sends to cost, id consider it a win

    Separated from group

    With as many dives through swim throughs that I've done in Cozumel, I've only seen one way in and 1 way out, and no currents... so unless someone kicked up sand or it was pitch black, I don't know how you would lose the person in front of you. Most of the time, I swim around the swim...

    Hotel Cozumel or Casa Mexicana

    For less then ½ of that 178 / nt, I'd go to casa del mar... I can get a fully furnished condo for cheaper than that 😳

    Do you wear a dive watch? (not computer)

    I'm probably not the right person to ask. But I do have a watch that's rated for 100 m and is a cheapie which is great. Because there would be no crying if anything happened to it https://www.freestyleusa.com/collections/shark/products/shark-classic-clip-ensenada I've had mine down to 120 deep

    Traveling on a budget

    Already stated, Cozumel is the best bang for your buck but not even close to being cheap anymore. I am also finding the liveaboards are providing alot of value for what you pay. My suggestion is to base your destination based on whats on sale, thats what most of us do. But you also need to...

    How Many Dives in a year will make you happy?

    I'll get around 50 this year and I'm good with it. It's not so much the # of dives but the quality and the duration. At least to me. My last lob limited dives to 50 minutes and over 23 dives I probably left close to 8 hrs of bottom time.

    So we got there and a few people tried. Me? Challenge accepted. I wasn't going to stop till I got one. Yes, no witnesses, but I did get one... But I had to know it wasnt a fluke... I ended up getting 2 in a row, and the 3rd one went all the way in and bounced out! Almost 3 in a row :p
