    Please be careful with pharmacy drugs in Cozumel

    A little more fact on the woman in the OP. My wife and her friend who was on vacation with us were the ones who saved the woman. The woman bought the medication at one of the hole in the wall pharmacies not knowing that they really are not legit. She asked the pharmacist(or at least the person...

    fat and need a new wetsuit

    Triggered? Could be, I don't particularly like people who feel the need to interject their unsolicited, unrelated comments. This thread is about finding wetsuits for unconventional body types. What makes you think I'm overweight? My height to weight ratio? That's notoriously inaccurate. Some...

    fat and need a new wetsuit

    So what is overweight? I'm 5'9" 220 lbs(100 kg), guess I'm fat by your standards However, my resting pulse is 52, bp is 105/70, run 10 k in under 50 minutes and swim a mile 3 times a week in 30 minutes or less. But I can't find a wetsuit to fit. Maybe you should piss off if you don't have...

    PV in July?

    Yes, bother, PV in July is fantastic. 84-86 degrees water temp, VIs should be in excess of 100'. Look up PV ocean tours for a great, simple panga dive experience.

    Vice squad alert

    Go to the corner store right outside the gates to the military base. They had Don Julio blanco and it was around 600 peso.

    Have a Flight Into Cancun but want to stay in Cozumel

    As others have said the bag drag is the way to go, plus with your number and weight of baggage the plane is not an option. Take a look at Aldora divers, they are one of the top 5 dive companies and they also have a Villa with nice rooms, a pool for training at the villa and they pick up their...

    Body recovered - Carmel River State Beach, California

    At that location it was probably 5' swells, it's a pretty well protected corner of Carmel bay. I dive it when the swells outside the bay are running 8-10' and its 3-4 at the entry.

    Puerto Vallarta / Sayulita Diving

    One thing to consider with a dive op in Punta Mita is the distance to dive sites. With the exception of Las Marietas all the dive sites are at the south end of Banderas Bay. Long ride by boat to Los Arcos, Mismaloya or Yelapa.

    Puerto Vallarta / Sayulita Diving

    Sayulita doesn't have a marina, any boats will be out of PV, Nueva Vallarta marina or maybe La Cruz. Except for Las Marietas all diving in that area is at the south end of Banderas Bay.

    Puerto Vallarta / Sayulita Diving

    Either location will have cool water temps in march. Also a good chance of mediocre visibility due to plankton blooms. PV has the better dives, contrary to what people who haven't been there think Banderas Bay(PV) has some fantastic dives. Las Marietas islands was a favorite of Jacques Cousteau...

    Puerto Vallarta

    I'll second what ScubaSteve said about Marc. He's a great dive master and runs a nice operation. There are some nice dives in PV, but it's dependent on the time of year. Like most sites along the east side of the pacific it gets the cold nutrient rich upwelling currents that cause plankton...

    Shore dive fatality - Carmel, California

    If it was Carmel River State Beach, it can be a really tough dive site. The entry is protected unless the tide is high, then it washes over the rocky point. It's a tough walk down steps to the water and the beach is steep with a significant undertow. You have to be really adept at timing the...
