We have been staying at Presidente and diving with Aldora for years and have no complaints about their schedule. The marina is right next door to Presidente so we are typically the first to be picked up and within 10-15 minutes of the time that they say. Pickup from hotels down south subject...

We always stay at El Presidente and dive with Aldora. They pick you up anywhere from 7:45am to 8:15am, depending upon where they are picking up other divers. They will tell you the time the day prior. The pickup location is in front of the outdoor restaurant so it doesn’t get any easier. We...

And I’m happy to pay the shipping!!

I’ll take it for my grandson!

What about the injured people?

Horse. Dead. Beat.

Particularly a rental boat from PDC, if that is true. But are there really PDC boats with costly marine park licenses?

I have ALWAYS understood that divers should carry an SMB when drift diving and our dive op in Coz highly recommends having one in case you are separated from the DM and need to surface. Have been diving Cozumel for a long time and all too familiar with boat traffic in the marine park. You are...

Where was this?

Did it appear to be sick? It’s unusual body position for an eel. It also doesn’t look like it moved much judging from all the different angles of your shots.

We were required to turn our passports over to the boat operator so we wouldn’t have the opportunity to have them in a grab bag. I’m guessing that is standard procedure.

I need to correct my comment above. I misspoke. We tip $10-15 per tank for both my husband and I. Sorry for the confusion and for getting everyone so riled up. lol

So this is a great question that I have grappled with on the rare occasions that I have used a private DM. My dive operator in Cozumel provides complete valet diving and typically has, on average, 4 divers to a DM. Those divers generally tip anywhere from $10-15 per tank to be divided between...

I hope that they take over the Cabo airport soon and stop the illegal practice of taxing underwater camera housings.

We are frequent fliers out of Hobby. You should have no problem at all making your connection provided your arriving flight is on time or even reasonably late.

I haven’t flown Volaris but I have connected through Mexico City. My advice is to allow at least a three hour layover because you will arrive into the international terminal, have to clear customs and then take the train to the national terminal. Mexico City airport is the largest in America. We...

We stop at Mega in route to our hotel all the time. Just tell the taxi driver of your plans and negotiate the price before getting in the cab. Tell the driver how long you expect to spend shopping and stick to that timeframe out of courtesy. Time is money for the taxitas. We have never had...

I fly into Cozumel at least twice annually. Not once have I had tax imposed on me in spite of my rather obvious Pelican camera case. I have a Nauticam housing as well. I have heard of many instances of camera housings and drones getting taxed when clearing customs in Cabo. They claim that...

A group of us have started a GoFundMe campaign for divemasters, captains, crew and office staff at Aldora who found their income disappear overnight. I encourage others to start campaigns for their respective dive shops, hospitality workers and friends. For anyone interested in supporting...

I just received this email from Nautilus about my May 15 trip to Socorro aboard the Explorer: In light of the borders being closed due to COVID-19, we are shutting down the boats until further notice. We will start running trips again as soon as it's safe. We are doing our very best for...
