    Casa Del Mar

    The dive shop is on the water side of the road. You don't need to worry about lugging tanks & weight with you. What sort of things is your wife interested in, and much diving are you doing? (so how much time does she have to fill on her own?) For something completely un-tourist, if she's...

    Blue Angel Staff Changes

    From what I've read here, I don't see that anyone thinks this or any other thread is going to decide the outcome of the business, or are worrying about it. Forums are for discussion, and that's all I see going on here. Not sure what you're so bothered about. Plenty of much more ridiculous...

    Blue Angel Staff Changes

    My long-time stylist was an employee of the salon, not an independent. He and a few others left... not under good terms. The damn salon won't even tell anyone where they went. One of the stylists took emails and phone numbers and was contacting her clients and so the salon decided that now as...

    Blue Angel Staff Changes

    I haven't dived with Blue Angel, but I really like the changes that have been made to the property and their restaurant is great! Over the years I've heard nothing but positive comments about their dive shop. I did check out the new shop's site, just out of curiosity. Hmmm, go to the "Hotel &...

    So now that everyone seems to have agreed that Ernesto was, in fact, not much of a storm, now we're going to go a few rounds of, "my natural disaster is scarier than your natural disaster?" LOL! Hmmm, Don, does DAN insurance cover you for tornado accidents? jk, jk :bounce:

    Magnolia3, my first trip to the Mexican Caribbean was just a few months after Gilbert, to Isla Mujeres with a few days also spent in Cancun. That was also the first time I saw what hurricanes can do. Since then I've been various places in the Caribbean when there has been everything from a...

    Help needed in Belize! Stranded by Porto fino

    Sounds like the hotel did a great job with their guests during a difficult situation. Personally, if I'm traveling to the Caribbean during hurricane season and there's a system heading right to where I'm going, and it's supposed to make landfall within a couple days of my arrival, I'm...

    Pictures and reports from across the channel indicate that storm surge was the only issue there. Palm trees and even beach palapas still intact. Some beaches are a mess with everything that washed in, and very sadly, probably thousands of turtle eggs washed out in addition to those that are...

    Beach and pool chairs still out, boats still in the water.

    Well you know, there is one in Playa, and a lot flights are still going today to Cancun as scheduled... well maybe with a delay, depending on departure time. You could head down and do some real storm watching. :grinbandit:

    Geez, Don. Lighten up. I didn't jump on anyone or call out any specific posts. Just made a comment in humor (in case you didn't notice the smiley facees...) All of us who don't live there are tourists, so why make that a negative thing?

    Shore diving in Cozumel

    Aquaworld at the Palace will rent you tanks to shore dive. We stay at El Cantil and I saw quite a few people diving from there last time I was down. I even went over and asked about it. You just have to be careful about what time of they day you choose to go out since there can be a lot of...

    I don't think this guy is a diver... but then again, he could Google it. It's actually a decent site and I don't want to make them look bad. One of their staff members who lives in their has posted, as have people vacationing in the area, all saying it's business as usual, just a little drizzle...

    Oh, Christi, you should know after all these years, you just live there. That doesn't make you the expert on what's actually going on or give you any experience to have these opinions. :D When it comes to tropical systems, the real experts are the people thousands of miles away Googling for...

    New plans for a project on the East side of cozumel

    Sounds like there's still some environmental impact studies to be completed, but if there's a way to do this without total destruction, it could go a long way for helping lower the ridiculous electric bills I've heard so much about for years. If there's a surplus and it can be used elsewhere...

    Rainy September?

    I've been to Cozumel and other places in Q.Roo in supposed great weather months and those that are supposed to be questionable (either because of rain or nortes...). Weather happens. I've had great weather when it's supposed to be the rainiest time of the year, nortes months sooner then...

    Diving from San Francisco Beach Area in December - Questions

    After a number of December trips from 2 wks to the entire month, the only part of December there would be any issue with rental cars or needing a restaurant res, for any restaurant, would be Christmas week into New Year's. The rest of the month, once the Ironman people leave (which is usually...

    Captain Lost Our Group

    Since nobody who's still looking at this thread has your answer, why not just PM the original poster? You seem to be the only one seeing this as a big mystery and having questions about it. IMO, you'd have to be in current stronger than you'd find in Cozumel, and in the water for a very long...

    Captain Lost Our Group

    Because she said so. #171 on Pg 18. And I think cvchief's post, #178, pretty much sums up this thread. Christi has been back to this thread several times and has given whatever information she had. Anyone still asking more questions either hasn't read her post saying she's provided all the...
