    My 1st Cozumel Trip Dec 9th - 16th!

    I'm doing a week on a liveaboard in Belize in March! I am doing Coz because I am going to be in Cancun for something else anyways...I have been seeing some discussion of the cave diving in Playa Del Carmen on other sites. Anyone here have an opinion on it?

    My 1st Cozumel Trip Dec 9th - 16th!

    I guess a simple way of looking at it would be: it costs 1.5x the price to go with Aldora, if you can stay down for nearly 1.5x the time, then it is roughly the same $/min of bottom time and worth the premium given all of the other positive factors....

    My 1st Cozumel Trip Dec 9th - 16th!

    Ok, so I have done some looking around, and I am pretty close to booking with Aldora. I really like having 120cf steel tanks and the flexibility to actually use them to significantly increase bottom times. I also really like that they have small groups and seem to actually go to the more...

    My 1st Cozumel Trip Dec 9th - 16th!

    This may be a silly question, but how does Cozumel compare to Komodo in your experience? The latter. I have been perusing the Aldora website, anyone know whether they tend to make everyone leave after 60-70 mins?

    My 1st Cozumel Trip Dec 9th - 16th!

    Sorry, I am new to Cozumel but not at all new to international travel, and there are plenty of places on the map where being white - particularly American and white - makes you very unpopular with the locals and creates a safety issue (many parts of the middle east, africa, indonesia, etc.)...

    New Illinois Diver

    Hey, I'm in Chicago and pretty new as well. I just posted an intro myself right here just 5 mins ago. Btw, the king salmon are in close to harbors right now; I've been fishing for them. I wonder if we couldn't find a way to don dry suits and go spear fishing for them....

    Hi. My name is Dan and I am a scuba-holic. Looking for dive buddies in Chicago

    Hi, I just got my OW in Mozambique in June 2012 and am totally hooked. I can't believe what I've been missing! Since Mozambique, I have gotten AOW and EANx certified in Bali and done liveaboards in the Komodo Islands and Raja Ampat. About 50 dives total. I am going on the MV Monsoon in the...
