    Playa Del Carmen Dive Shop Recommendation

    I dive with Reef Marina when I was in PDC in April. They have a shop at both Reef resorts, one just both of PDC and one down in Playacar. They were great and the morning dive I did with them was 2 dives. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Women Divers - Would You Wear ...

    I do not think I would like a neoprene 'swimsuit' and I prefer a bikini style suit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Viewing Photos from Camera on Kindle

    In that case you may be able to connect the camera to the wifi where you are staying via the buttons and the screen on the camera. Before traveling, look into connecting the camera to dropbox for an auto upload right from the camera whenever it connects to a wifi network, then look at the...

    Viewing Photos from Camera on Kindle

    I would think you could set the camera up to upload the pictures to dropbox and then use the kindle (I presume you mean a Fire vs just a e-reader) to browse to dropbox to look at the pictures. However, what I know of wifi enabled cameras you have to connect the camera to the local wifi...

    Blackbird Resort 4.2014 Trip Report

    Boat ride is included if you arrive/leave on Wednesday or Saturday when they take Big Bird to the mainland for supplies. I have so many fond memories of my stay on Blackbird. I loved it! Paul is no longer managing the resort, he left at the end of the season last year.

    Best Yucatan Diving?

    I just got back from Playa del Carmen Sunday night. It was beautiful weather there, you are going to love it! I didn't do any Cozumel dive as I was staying in Playacar and I thought that Cozumel had stronger current drift dives but I did one at a site called Tortugas that had a fast current...

    Lost Suunto Zoop Dos Ojos Cenote April 18 :(

    Ugh. I am only mad at myself but thought maybe if someone happened to be there or know someone who was that morning.... I took my yellow Suunto Zoop off my arm and stuck it in the foot hole of my fin that was sitting on one of the cement tables in the parking area, right next to the restroom...

    Is it just me??

    I don't think it is a male/female, mars/venus thing. I am female and the one that is more into diving, researched the items we both own, bought my dive computer and all gear except tanks. I bought my boyfriend a dive computer for Christmas. He likes diving but the gear, planning trips, etc is...

    Blackbird Caye Resort

    They do have nitrox, I can't remember if it was more though. If you did a dive package I do believe it is included. I loved this place. We had the mid range cabin, #9 I believe. A one bedroom with a seating area, but not a separate bedroom/seating area. I would recommend rooms 8 and up, I liked...

    Belize - Must see? Must do?

    Zip lining and cave tubing at Caves Branch was my favorite land based activity. We went to Caracol for a ruin day and enjoyed that as well.

    Hotel recommendations in Valladolid area

    Mayaland has a traditional hotel and then some attached bungalows (like 3 bungalows in a row). That may be where the price difference is. I drove from Mayaland down to Coba and it was fine in 2005. I don't really remember anything along the way actually. I think it was just a rural, 2 lane...

    Hotel recommendations in Valladolid area

    What are the prices at Mayaland? I stayed there quite a while ago, 2005, but what is nice about it is you can walk over to Chichen Itza. No driving or fighting crowds. The property was very nice. I highly recommend Ek Balam. Small, but lots to see and hopefully you can still climb the...

    60 days B4 trip, wife diagnosed with Cancer, what likely position from Agressor?

    I don't have an answer for you other than to ask if perhaps you purchased any kind of trip insurance when you booked and forgot about it with all the other things going on. As someone who has been touched by cancer in family members twice in the last year, I didn't want to read this without...

    Trying Scuba Again After a Not-So-Great Experience

    Yes, definitely take a couple breaths and visualize the skill you are about to do. While you will probably not be able to see the bottom and it feels like you are so far out from the beach, remember you're only in about 20ish feet of water. Get a good night's sleep, eat something mild but hearty...

    Trying Scuba Again After a Not-So-Great Experience

    I was just certified in March and I totally had the same anxiety. In my discover scuba class I had that "I gotta get outta here" anxiety when I first went under in the pool. For some reason I sat down and it just wasn't a good, natural position. I stood up and when the instructor gave me that...
