    Garmin T2 Transmitter Brass Discoloration

    Hello - Hoping for some input from the equipment pros here. I bought a new Garmin T2 AI transmitter and found that the brass connector to the 1st stage was discolored. Not sure if it's oxidation or some other issue but I wouldn't have thought to see something like that on a new unit in a...

    San Jose Del Cabo and operator?

    We were in CSL in December 2023. We first went with Dive Cabo in CSL to dive the CSL Marine Park and the Corridor. They ran two large boats but had multiple DMs which left us with a nice 4:1 ratio. The dives were good and were a mix of NorCal topography and some interesting fish. Everything...

    Roatan for Solo Traveler

    I did Sundivers in 2022 and Roatan Divers in 2023... both in June, almost exactly a year apart. Their dive schedules were similar in that they have 3 one-tank dives each day, along with two (IIRC) night dive opportunities each week. In 2023, I literally went out on every available dive with...

    Stuart Cove's Shark Adventure

    The shark dive was a unique adventure. It's true that there were shark sightings on the reef and wall dives, but being surrounded by a large group of reef and nurse sharks if quite an experience, especially up that close. If you're diving with them anyway, would recommend you give it a shot...

    Just booked The Reef at Atlantis, looking for a little info

    Stayed there a few years ago and dove with Stuart Cove's over 5 days. The bus rides felt a bit long, but couldn't complain about a free ride. It's a shame that Stuart Cove's is the only dive op in the area. I remember it as being a bit of a cattle boat operation, especially compared to some...

    Any rumors on the Garmin descent mk3 display?

    I have the 47mm Epix Pro and the AMOLED screen is fantastic. Absolutely no visibility issue in the sun. The battery lasts about a week with a round of golf, 3 hour hike, and daily run/HIIT which uses GPS. BTW, that GPS is really accurate... super impressed at how it tracks even when I stray...

    Any rumors on the Garmin descent mk3 display?

    I'm also waiting for more info on the mk3... my ideal would be air integration with an AMOLED display that has a case of 48mm or less... I tweeted Garmin about a week ago begging for some info but received the "no info to share at this time" response.

    Things you can't bring into Mexico

    Yet they found my wife's little apple that was sitting in her backpack :rofl3: I wonder if they're trained for food but not drugs

    Things you can't bring into Mexico

    I can personally attest to the efficacy of the food-sniffing dogs that work around the immigration booths at CZM :)

    Tourist lost - Cozumel

    We dove Eagle Ray Wall on the afternoon of 3/21/23, which was a day after a port closure due to a Norte. Agree that the current was ripping here but most of the dive wasnt too sketchy given the profile of "drop to the top of the wall, deflate, and hold onto a barrel sponge." However, there was...

    Port closed?

    Our flight from SJC to DFW on the 17th was cancelled due to weather in W Texas... ended up traveling yesterday, the 18th, and saw probably the same weather system above the gulf. We lost a day and tomorrow's port closure is accelerating our one off-day but nonetheless had great dives this...

    Port closed?

    Is the Monday forecast the type of weather that closes the port?

    Trip Report Short trip to Cozumel—Presidente

    Nice! Wish I could've been there too. We are in San Jose and dive Monterey as well, albeit in a 7/8mm semidry rather than true dry... nearly froze our butts off diving in August... I wanna say the comp flashed 50 degrees :) looking forward to the 80 degree water in just over 3 short weeks...

    Trip Report Short trip to Cozumel—Presidente

    Thanks for posting, @Catito. Was hoping to hear of your experiences; thanks very much. Sorry to hear about your food poisoning but hopefully the rest of the trip was enjoyable. I really appreciate your sharing about the on-site op. We were close to booking with them but went a different...

    Is there any annual seasonality to the strength of current? Ex, worst Dec to Feb or something?
