WATER TEMP & NEOPRENE: I have always sworn by the SeaTemperature website for accurate water temp. It let me down in a huge way this time around. The website kept saying 81+, but the actual water temp was anywhere from 76 to 80, and more often it was 78. I got caught up in a school of fish (large...

We just got back from Puerto Galera and we had a wonderful time! SCANDI DIVERS RESORT – truly, the jewel in their crown is their staff. From the dive crew, housekeeping, the kitchen/restaurant and customer service, they’re all very friendly and helpful. I think they really did know most...

I nearly decided to skip doing a report this time because so much would be 'more of the same' - but a few items of interest. We had room 204 at Casa Mexicana this time, and after havingstayed in room 501 previously it felt like a big let down. It felt smaller and the view wasn't as cool...

Moderators - feel free to change the title of this post if it's too inflammatory - I don't mean to scare anyone away from Cozumel. Two folks who walk their dogs were attacked by a swarm of bees between the car ferry and Hotel Cozumel - they finally escaped them by getting completely submerged...

I see June and August, but no July yet? Are we it? Kimela and Roger ..... Casa Mexicana .... Jungle Divers ..... July 18-26

I hadn't seen a review specifically for Casa Mexicana and thought it might be helpful. We really liked this hotel. The bed was comfortable, the breakfast was great (included typical Mexican breakfast fare, fresh fruit, yogurt, cereal, an omelet station where they also can make eggs to order...

Diving often means traveling through airports, and we're forever charging our devices. We always look for electrical outlets to use our own 'bricks' and cables, and when we can't find them we use our backup battery - so this article doesn't affect us much. But I'm sure there are many who use the...

Maybe this can be a sticky? I've begun a list of restaurants we've been to, including links to Facebook pages, websites, addresses, phone numbers (which might also be their WhatsApp). Please add whatever you'd like - including comments about what's especially tasty pricey, reasonable, live...

I saw this on Cozumel Diving (facebook page), posted 3 days ago. "Elements of the Directorate of Public Safety secure a male during the early morning carrying a suitcase with complete diving equipment in the vicinity of the colony San Gervasio. Municipal police were on crime deterrence runs on...

I never find anything of value - just candy wrappers and plastic - but this time I did! I'd love to reunite someone with their mask. Contact me to let me know the color and brand/model and where you lost it - so I can make an attempt at getting it back to it's owner.

As always, my experience at Casa del Mar and Jungle Divers was great. So I won’t repeat myself. We had a couple of meals at Casa del Mar and were surprised by how good they were. Their fajitas were great. Breakfast was ok (but I wasn’t expecting much). We met up with @lionfish-eater (David)...

Our dive op said a guest found this watch/computer a few days ago. No luck yet finding the owner. If you know the owner let me know. Maybe this will be one of those good stories!

I forgot to ask if they had a kid’s club!! There were plenty of kids though, so they're certainly welcome. :) The Intercontinental Presidente is a beautiful resort – truly. We had a nice room that was in the southern part of the property (5230) – very quiet – but it was quite a walk to the pier...

I think we have been to Cozumel every month of the year, and I cannot tell if there is a difference. I'm hoping that people who live there, or dive more often, have a better idea when the currents are the calmest. If it means we have to go in the winter I'll pack more neoprene and go, but I'd...

This has become a problem more recently. After a week of diving I spend the next several weeks with my nails splitting and breaking. They tear very easily. I'm on a marine collagen supplement that should help with hair, nails, joints and bones. I'm wondering if anyone has a suggestion for...

I've wanted to dive Sharm for as long as we've been diving (since 2010). Our style of diving and interests have changed over the years and I'm curious if there are dive ops and resorts/lodging that will easily do what we need? So here's what we're trying to match up: No liveaboard Smaller...

Great wetsuit. Worn two separate weekends for a total of maybe 8 dives in fresh water. NEVER peed in!! I discovered I'm not a cold water diver, even with lots of neoprene! I'm 5' 0" and I think I weighed about 115 when I last wore it - for reference. This is a hooded wetsuit with a zipper...

On a recent dive trip, on the very last dive of the trip, I noticed my regulator began to breathe hard at the end of the dive. I wrote a message to my dive buddy that it was breathing hard, but since we were right below the boat and I still had over 1000psi left I didn’t worry about it too much...

We tagged along with the Pennyroyal Scuba Center (and Kris Tapp) for their annual trip to Turquoise Bay. This is a very nice group of people who clearly have developed great relationships diving together through the years. It was nice to be welcomed into their circle. This is why I love ‘dive...
