Thank you all for the responses. We will be staying at the Cancun Moon Palace, two weeks Oct 11-24th 2013. First week hotel credit is 1500$ plus 1000$ for the second weeks. That buys lots & lots of massages, land trips and boat trips. I'll try to get a paid-for 3rd buddy from the diving staff...

Looks like we'll be staying on the mainland instead, October is a bad time price-wise, since this is a last-minute thing. Perhaps the Sun Palace because of their hotel credit. Going for R&R first, diving second.

Trying to book something...aren't any of the hotels with sandy beaches? Was suggested the Cozumel Palace, but it's a rocky shore. The Plaza now has a bad rap with last July's invasion... I really want an AI, to visit for a bit, before going back next July with friends & family for our wedding...

Still not decided, buy my fiancé and I might be staying at Mercure Marina between Oct 10th and Oct 24th. We both dive, though not aggressively like some of you do! We prefer a two-tank shallow, shallower (50-60, then 25-30) than the grueling (for us!) 100 footer dives. Plus we don't dive on...

I just sent 20$ US via Paypal (I paid the 1.08$ fee) to info@divechoicemexico.com. Just like I did last year. Posted on your FB wall, but found out how I did it last year.

We did our exams during January, and the pool wasn't heated, was at 55f, so we needed full wetsuits, my GF need boots, gloves & a hoodie. For the *pool session*. Turns out, that was good, because we knew there was ZERO chance we wanted to dive like this in cold-water. EVER. Summer dives in the...

YES...head for warm water. Cold water is difficult, however, when you can manage it, you're a better diver for it. Pure-bred cold water divers ARE better than warm-only divers...(sujective, read that as having a broader climate & gear experience) I know this for a fact, because, I'm a...

Supported your kickstarter...see in my Sig!

From my son : Nobody is buying my Beuchat reg that I've listed on Kijiji Only a diver could possibly understand that statement...

remember that you can encase the non-resistent-to-water in wax. It nicely displaces water away from electronics. Then use the heat-shrink gun to melt it away from any section you need access to. Another idea, is to use "cheap" graphene to conduct the signal from the sensor, instead of using...

I have a fin with L on it, where's the R for my other foot?

Was there for a week, only scheduled two days of diving, so went with the basic - tourist dives. Also we are in the sub-50 dive range. Boat op from 7MB and an evening dive up North of 7MB. Search on my username for more info. So other than visiting wrecks in the 7MB area, the "better" places...

I'd stick with the same camera, but add a pair of strobes w/TTL. Best bang for the buck - lighting.

....because of . . . . . Frost Bite ? :D

Yep, same thought. When I upgrade my D90 for my landwork, if I'm going to spend 2k I might as well spend more, and get the 36MP instead of 24MP. Plus the "extra" focus points. The average "joe" photographer won't spend 2k$ on such a camera, they'll jump to a Canon for 4k videography instead for...

I'll ask local pros about this. This is in my backyard, so to speak.

IMHO, we need more female divers that post.

Post your favorite joke(s) in the appropriate sub-forum. Finding it is half the fun. Bonus points for water related humour.

(answering for the umpteeth time to up my post count) My Aqualung i3 is especially suited for cold (freezing) diving, as it can stretch / size up really well. My GF loves her woman's model. When I travel South to warm waters I use a much smaller & compact Zeagle stiletto. This topic has been...
