    Best Place For Family to Stay in Cozumel?

    We did Spring Break in Cozumel this year. 2 adult divers and 2 non diving kids (age 14 and 9). We really enjoyed Cozumel Palace. It's a nice all inclusive that is on the spendy side, but we got a good deal when we booked. I also took my SSI Deep Diver certification with Salty Endeavors on that...

    Need SSI Check-out Dives

    I just booked an SSI Deep Dive with Salty Endeavors in Cozumel. The dives won't happen until March, but I've been very impressed with their responsiveness and follow through so far.

    Is vintage style oval mask more challenging to equalize under water

    I have a mask like this that I have used a few times in a pool, but never in an OW dive. What everyone said above is my experience as well. It's hard to reach your nose when you have a reg in your mouth with this mask. My biggest complaint is that I don't trust the strap enough to use it on an...

    I heard of a store offering Eclipse Diver during the August 2017 solar eclipse in the US.

    SSI Dive shop recommendation

    My family and I will be going to Cozumel for Spring Break. I would like to take my SSI Deep Diver specialty course while I'm in Coz, and possibly one other SSI specialty to complete my AOW Cert. When I look on SSI's site, they list some LDS, but when I go to the sites of the shops listed, there...

    Ssi advanced open water vs

    I agree, Bob. I read the standards the same way that you do. Take it even farther and consider that the SSI AOW diver that you described could then make 26 more dives and take Stress and Rescue would earn the rank of Master Scuba Diver.

    Diving in and around Puerto Morelos

    My wife got certified with Ruben, and we did a couple trips with him and his crew in 2016. We were both happy with the experiences. The reefs are so close to Puerto Morales that the boat and the number of divers he took out were really small. I would dive with him again.

    What is a logged dive?

    I write pool training sessions in my log book, but I don't add them to my running dive count, if that makes sense. I did a SCUBA review after a period of inactivity, and I took SSI Perfect Buoyancy. I wrote both classes log book, but I I'm not going to try to count those dives towards Advanced...
