    BC for Kids

    I have two children currently 13 and 10. My wife doesn't dive and am looking forward to having a family member dive partner in the near future. I would like to start them with quality gear. I have a Hal backplate and wing setup. Is this an option for a smaller person? The one...

    diving with Aqua Safari

    Want to take my dive bennie off to you. I have my AOW and about 50+ dives (never know how to count quick up and down dives in lakes) under my belt with many in the tropics. BUT, I do not think I have ever seen someone so clearly state the responsibility lines on a dive with a DM after...

    Trip report

    Well given I asked so many questions before going I thought I best give at least a little report on how everything went. We ended up staying at the Brisas as AI folks. Which was real nice for quick fruit breakfast and piece of french toast and juice before dive. And then having a lunch...

    How much BC lift do I require?

    My choice was not as complicated. In freshwater, I will have a drysuit (built in extra air if need be). In salt, more bouyant. I went with the 27lb, mostly because it was cheaper. It works well, UNLESS you are overweighted. :whoa: :drown:

    signal tubes/ safety sausages

    Just throw an unused CD in your pocket. Maybe an AOL one, or old software, or some of the many one gets and throws away. Just thought I would post it, just incase someone had not thought of it. :drummer:

    signal tubes/ safety sausages

    I just got the Halcyon middle sized tube, I picked up a drysuit over the summer, and this trip to Cozumel is the first time I will not be wearing it since adding the hose to my reg. There is no reason at all to remove the hose and cap the first stage is there? This extra hose can be used to...

    Dive operator recommendations in Cozumel

    We are staying at Las Brisas for a week starting on the 23rd. My wife does not dive, and so I will be looking to be buddied up by the dive shop. I understand the small boats and the thing about being able to dive your computer, but get the feeling, that most dive ops, don't want to mess...

    Anyone going to Coz Feb 23-March 2?

    Didn't even look at that before. COOL. We are going Feb 24th to March 3rd. So will miss Fat Tuesday by a couple days, but the little I've read the big event is the Saturday night before is this correct? This is great addition to the trip. Our 15th anv. is the 27th so had planned...

    Waist Pocket/pouch for BP/Wings setup?

    For the ideas, list price is much more reasonable then the Halcyon pockets.

    Waist Pocket/pouch for BP/Wings setup?

    I purchased a SS BP and Pioneer last summer, and dove it 8 times. Doing a Cozumel trip at the end of February, and want some type of pocket or pouch to connect to the waist strap I can NOT see myself paying $89 for Halycon pocket/pouch. I mean come on, that is outragous for that little...

    Any adult only resort in Cozumel

    We have kids, love them to death, they are well behaved, some kids are not when traveling. We do the same, if traveling with kids go to a resort where kids are special when without them, go where adults are special. NOW: I am trying to find out which if any resorts have adult only pools...

    Dove Xcalak recently?

    The beach road is still not the best, but is passable. But there is a new road back off the beach (about 3 KM) that is a nice paved petal to the metal type of road. Watch out for wildlife though!

    First time Cozumel perspectives

    One last question comparing the LB and FA. (I PROMISE) Does either have an adults only pool and/or a swim up bar? Thanks everyone for all your replies so far. From what I have read the PLG is in need of repair, showing it age? Besides, my prefered charter doesn't handle it.

    First time Cozumel perspectives

    Hey everyone thanks for the great info I'm sure others will find this informative useful as well. I think I have narrowed it down to the following two, Brisas or FA Eliminated: Presidente - just cause even though we can afford it at twice the price can't justify it. Casa Mexicana - No...

    First time Cozumel perspectives

    Adding one to the list. Casa Mexicana. Now I'm not one for AI normally but this one is rather interesting as it is not buffet but resturants. For an additional $434 for the both of us, ($1110 total with the room from a local charter company) we can get their meal plan which is this...

    First time Cozumel perspectives

    Oh and one more question. Is it frowned on not having a dive buddy? I mean going to a shop and having to be buddied up? Is there a good place to exchange trip information and get buddies who are traveling around the same time? Thanks again.
