Does that mean he is found? There is a lot of this story still missing? Dave Dillehay

Where did I miss it…is the Brad mystery solved? Dave Dillehay

I remember vividly, one time before 9-11, that Miami line was so bad…they just let everyone in mass go thru with no check. Dave Dillehay

MAYBE I REFUSED TO BRIBE SOMEBODY, I DON'T REMEMBER, BUT I WAS PLAYING BY THE RULES AS I UNDERSTOOD THEM. DAVE DILLEHAY

CAN THEY LEGALLY PICK UP DIVERS ON THE STREET? NEVER WORKED FOR ALDORA!

Yep, sounds like you got in at the back end of the craziness. Last week I was in the middle of it. I sure hope the authorities realize that if continued that will hurt the island's economy. It should not take a great intellect to figure that out…but this is their country. Dave Dillehay

Actually you were here in the busiest season as most hotels were full and my Villa Aldora was as well. But is not the Presidente a wonderful place? I was certified there in 1992 and learned the basics of what a dive operation could be. After a lot of private charters I found that there were...

Yes, I don't understand that either. If you take the donut out you are left with standard DIN tank with no additional o rings. For the first 5 or 10 years of Aldora we only had din tanks... and converting for yoke regs required adapters until they came out with the donuts. Frankly I always...

Henceforth, all divers using Aldora Divers will get free nitrox if they are a guest of the Villa Aldora. Dave Dillehay

Arriving guests at the Villa Aldora said they just flew through immigration. Maybe my problem yesterday was just the odds catching up to me…live and learn. I guess Gordon was right about flight delays elsewhere. Dave Dillehay

TODAY, MARCH 13, I ran into the biggest mess seen since coming here 32 years ago. First hint was that there were 6 planes at the gates, and two waiting for a gate. With Southwest we did not wait for a gate…but once stoped it was a 20 minute wait before we were let off. The reason was...

Our favorite Southwest flight to CZM from Hobby airport is dropped in most September-October time frames…we've gotten used to it-- but hate the drive from Galveston to IAH. Dave Dillehay

As I left Aldora ownership in 2020, all tanks were DIN/YOKE. AS BEST I KNOW THEY HAVE NOT CHANGED. DAVE DILLEHAY

Yes, the Villa Aldora has 20, light weight steel 80 cf, tanks there at all times. Also a rinse tank and drying rack, all secure. All free for guests, as well as all snorkel equipment. That is the "Aldora Way" which I began in 1992. We are having trouble updating the website because the host...

First off, i no longer have a financial interest in Aldora DIVERS. If you choose to go with them you will be guaranteed to have your own fast boat and two instructors (they limit instruction to just two divers per instructor). In addition if you stay at my ocean front Villa Aldora, you can use...

The good news is that our short but strong norte did not get to Coz. live and learn. dave dillehay

I have no idea what it means for Cozumel but the wind is really blowing stink here in Galveston—20-30 mph north wind with advisories all over south Texas. What keeps me from suggesting a problem for Cozumel is that it is predicted to last just nine hours. DAVE DILLEHAY
