    Tips for a trip to the Riviera Maya area in October/November (4 days)

    Jay, can you give a little more info on Dia de los Muertos celebrations? We're going to be down there from the 30th-5th, and would love to observe, interact, or immerse ourselves into the celebration, as much as is acceptable for gringos. We've always wanted to be there, but usually visit during...

    Best day to fly Dallas to CZM?

    We are headed back to DFW airport tomorrow. I booked directly through Sun Country Airlines | Airline Tickets, Flights and Airfare . They are generally the cheapest you can find, and you can view their calendar to see how the fares change by day of the week. Ticket prices were $460, plus bags...

    July 2015...Who's With Me?

    Last-minute birthday trip here, +1. July 26-Aug 2. Staying at Hotel Plaza Cozumel (right off the square, near Wet Wendy's), and not sure who we're diving with. I don't really wanna give money to the new-ish owner of my favorite dive op :(If anyone wants to get together for dinner or drinks, let...

    July 2013: Hot July brings cooling showers, Apricots and gillyflowers. Who's with me?

    I must have seen this guy 2 years ago. We were cruising along a wall and there it was in a pocket, just hanging out. I was shocked! And I thought the tortoises at the zoo were big... Pretty cool sight for my first dive trip. Hope to see "him" in 11 days :D

    July 2013: Hot July brings cooling showers, Apricots and gillyflowers. Who's with me?

    I finally got our dates locked in. I'll be spending another birthday on the island with my girlfriend and parents July 26-Aug 1. Diving 4 days with Anita Divers, staying at Hotel Plaza Cozumel. Cozumel is the only reason I'm looking forward to 31. :bonk:

    Let's talk cheap (or cheap-ish) in-town hotels

    THIS. Hotel Plaza Cozumel, Calle 2 between Melgar and Avenida 5. Disclaimer: I've stayed there the last 2 years, and is the only place I've stayed on the island. As such, I am very partial, but I'm more cheap than sentimental and wouldn't return if I wasn't happy there. The H.P.C. sounds...

    July 2013: Hot July brings cooling showers, Apricots and gillyflowers. Who's with me?

    Same here. I either dive in just swim trunks, or I will add a cheap O'neill (I think) UV shirt to keep from getting scratched up by a worn BCD or zip-ties. Ideally, everyone that visits Cozumel would be an expert diver and the reef would be pristine. In reality, skin shirts and the like are also...

    July 2013: Hot July brings cooling showers, Apricots and gillyflowers. Who's with me?

    I'll be there again late this July. Not sure on the actual dates yet because I think I'm going to take my parents with me. It will be my 3rd time on the island, girlfriend's 2nd time, and parents' 1st. Nothing like getting your 57 year old parents to get passports for the first time. I can...

    I think we found the best shore dive in Coz

    When we were in Coz last summer we rented a car and stopped in there on our way around the island. One gringa there, and then us. She was reading a book, if I recall correctly, but chatted with us for a sec and told us about the eel that lives in the sea wall under the steps. One of the workers...

    New Diver, Going to Cozumel in May; Rent there or before leaving.

    Congrats from a fellow Fort Worth/Cozumel diver. I have just rented gear every trip down there without problems. If there were problems with your dive ops' gear, someone would have spoken up by now. A lot of great points being thrown out there: get DAN insurance, check your own gear on the boat...

    Accident 2/10?

    I sure hope whoever you were playing "telephone" with didn't mean Anita divers. That's who I, and all of my co-workers (PSDs) dive with in Cozumel. They aren't well-known because they don't really advertise, but they're top-notch and really safety-conscious. I've personally never seen more than...

    Suncountry's $75 fee for dive gear?

    This is what I've done the last two years when flying to CZM through Sun Country. I made sure my suitcase fit the baggage policy, and put my fins and booties in the bottom with clothes on top, along with all of my prohibited carry-ons such as sunblock, etc.. My carry-on (backpack) consisted of...

    July 2012 - Who's Joining Me!?!?!

    It's a little late, but we haven't seen you around. I'm about to head to El Moro for my birthday dinner, and then ??? I met Christi out 2 nights ago, just by chance. It's our last night in town, so who knows what kind of trouble we'll get into :)

    July 2012 - Who's Joining Me!?!?!

    I'll be there +1, July 23-July 29. Hotel Plaza Cozumel, Anita divers. Basscat, don't hesitate to say "hey" if you see us at breakfast or something. I'll be the guy in the UT hat that all the merchants are yelling at. "Hey Texas, hey longhorn, we have Cuban cigars. Something for your wife...

    CSSP (3/17) - Anyone going?

    Hopefully I'll be diving the Flower Gardens, but Sunday is looking a little iffy. If that doesn't go down, I'll check back in here and would be down for that Saturday or Sunday.
