Time to dig in the menus. Definitely an issue with one of the menu options. The Nauticam z8 housing has a dedicated button for the viewfinder/monitor mode. There are also options in the menu for photo review after shooting. I almost exclusively use the viewfinder when above the the water...
I have probably done over 1500 dives in Cozumel in the last 35 years. I've always loved the place and go regularly. Occasional downcurrents there are just part of diving in Cozumel - or really any place with stiff current, drift diving, and walls. The amount of current you are in is highly...
Most of the time, I would say that Cozumel has amongst the best visibility in the world. A recent storm or unfavorable winds/currents can change that quickly and it can take a week for it to really clear out and get back to it's normal awesomeness. Winter time is more prone to get blown out...
I enjoy the ride on a fast boat. It's part of the fun of Cozumel. To each their own I suppose. I have found staying too far south and you could end up missing some of the sites because they don't want to go too far south only to then turn around and head back north (and then south again to...
I've been diving in Cozumel regularly for 32 years. The decline of the reefs over the last couple of years is shocking. I went for a week the first of this month (November) and it seemed at least 90% of the brain coral was either already dead or was seriously diseased. Some of the other hard...
It strikes me that this is roughly the equivalent of banning hikers when dutch elm disease wiped out 70% of the elm trees in the US in the early 1900s. Sure hikers did cause some damage (stepped on saplings, etc), but they weren't the real cause and banning them would have had zero impact on...
I too am going in November. I wouldn't have if I would have known this was going to happen. I was very seriously planning on moving there in 5 years. Those plans are now on hold until this works out. Man (yes I did my part) has destroyed many coral reefs around the planet. So sad.
I already had a trip booked for November. I checked and my tickets are nonrefundable. I'm going and will dive in the limited area and do more things on the island instead of in the water. They were smart about doing it so fast as many (like me) will be unable to cancel their trips. I likely...
I've been diving in Cozumel since 1987 and have over a thousand dives there since. There is absolutely no question that divers are hard on the reef - especially in the last 10 years or so. The number of divers on the reef on any given day is staggering. However, limiting divers in one area...
