Back in '10 my wife and I swam with the sharks off of Holbox after flying there from CZM in a Cessna 206. It looks like they now fly directly to IM, saving the boat time to the sharks that Christi mentioned. Here's my thread from back then...

HA! Rates just dropped to $452 for SFO to CZM. "So I have to ask myself one question, do I feel lucky?" What are the odds they go down more?

Thanks everybody, I have been monitoring the fares and have been using the Matrix from the beginning. I appreciate everybody's willingness to help out and put forth ideas. Looks like I can get SFO-CZM for $538 in September, which apparently is the new normal. It's hard to let go of those H1N1...

I'm having a heck of a time finding decent flights from SFO to CZM in September. It seems that with the merger of Continental and United, our preferred flights no longer exist. We would typically leave on a red eye from SFO, have a couple of hours layover in Houston and be at the pool by...

Having dived with both Miguel and Pedro a number of times, I concur that if I were in the same situation and given a choice as to which DMs on the island I'd want with me and my family, they would be my first choice. I have used a number of ops on the island, and Christi and her crew have...

Ha. I started at the beginning of this thread NOT noticing the dates and got all panty-wadded about ScubaTony walking on the bottom of the boat so close to a propeller. I kept reading the responses and got to post #8 and thought that guy completely nailed how I felt about the boat walking...

As I mentioned in the thread I started, we would look for fares under $350 and could find them relatively often. Add the $100 in taxes and fees and we would pay the $450. Currently, the fares are about $750. $750 > $450. For my route, that is a BIG change.

We do the same Marcus, checking fares for a bargain before planning the rest of our trip. We had been grabbing the midnight departure from SFO connecting through Houston which put us in the condo at El Cantil around lunchtime. A little travel siesta and nice dinner and we're ready to dive the...

I've used Dr. Novoa, she's great. Christi at BlueXTsea recommended her to me, and my wife, son and myself see her on non-dive days for a checkup. You can call her office, From US: 011 52 987 869 8189 I'm assuming you've been to her site: Dra. Alejandra Novoa Carus - Cozumel's...

I just checked the "new" (old) Continental site now that it has been fully merged with United, and I am shocked and appalled. Searching every month April through October, the best airfare quoted is $718 r/t! :confused: I hate to even joke about this, but for selfish reasons I would appreciate...

Dang. I prefer mine tight too.

I'm hopeful that when the boat parts landed on the sea floor, it was on top of a family of lionfish.

This thread proves a theory I've been formulating. If a topic discussion extends beyond 10 pages, and the word "bean" is found within those 10 pages more than 17 times (or McDonald's 3 times or KFC 1 time), then the probability that the term "warhammer maneuver" is mentioned goes up nearly 10...

We won't stay anywhere but El Cantil, so you made an excellent choice there. We don't dive with anybody but BlueXTsea, that too is an excellent choice.

Darn. Another visitor that will fall in love with El Cantil and choose not to stay anywhere else... :(.

I use a barbless spear, and after shooting one I jam the tips into the sand to pin him down and then unscrew the last section of my sling and mash their little heads to pieces. When I get the green goo cloud, my work is done. :) The barbless then slides right out and we're on to the next victim.

MMM- feel free to not click on the link, or to not to read the first post if you find it distasteful, or the next post after that, or the one after that. Unfortunately you won't see this post, since you obviously wouldn't come back to this thread a second time. There are still questions about...

If she was a hemophiliac as mentioned in that Por Esto article, that would explain death by safety pin. Sounds like she might have known exactly what she was doing. I saw too that they're looking into whether Monika fell off the ship at some point. That might explain her blunt force trauma...

click on "wall" under her picture.

wow, that Latin American Herald Tribune story I think gets it all wrong, and I only say that because seeing the picture in Por Esto of the woman being taken out of the water CANNOT be Samantha Paige Thomas as shown on her FB page. (there's got to be at least 75 pounds of difference) On the...
