So after getting there and not diving for last 6 months due to to much going on. I decided to actually hold off on jumping in straight on training. We did 6 days total of diving and decided to end up not doing the complete training this trip and just have fun dives. I ended up doing 3 days of...

Maravilla if it is a good BRIGHT sunny day at noon can't be beaten! It's a hidden Gem kinda place often you dive alone with your group there. El Pit, Angelita, and Zapote dont come close to the views at Maravilla. I've gone full cave and still make time for atleast 1 dive in Maravilla during...

so i know this is an older thread but time has come i fly out tomorrow back to PDC and will finish my full cave. After logging another years worth of dives under my belt i feel i am ready to take on the challenge of the full cave course. i'll post some videos and updates after i finish. i'm...

i know this is an older thread but another solution is a cheap engraver from harbor freight. I think i paid like $10 for a handheld one. It looks almost like a sauntering iron with a plug. engrave your details in there and it causes a textile difference in your markers. also if no one...

sounds good i'll get with you when i'm ready for one.

fwiw i use the Razor Cannister light as my primary and have 2 big blue 10,000lm video lights with 2 tovatec 1000lm backups for my lights when i'm diving. i find myself 99.999% of the time using my video lights as they are more than enough to light up the caves for our group. i keep my razor on...

I thought the last sentence in the first post was clear lol. It's all good i'm sure someone doing rec diving might be interested in those but certainly not what i'm after. thanks though

Ok what i ment was its going to be cave penetration not a toy for the swimming pool and lakes like the others above look like.

thanks that looks a better option i'll look into those!

I'm looking for a travel friendly (airline) DPV for my 1st to purchase. I do most of my diving down in PDC/Tulum and want something that wont break the bank (i know this is a stretch with DPV). I'm very open to a used model that has been taken care of, but wont be purchasing one until sometime...

yes sir i watched that video which lead me to thinking about getting it in the first place. I did end up buying a 5mm Bare Velocity suit and it is more than warm enough for the diving i do and in the caves in mexico.

It was easy the transmitter had some corrosion in it and they warrantied it FREE and sent me a brand new one to replace it. i love shearwater!

yes i bought it already sorry

You dont have to feed them to have them come around you. We didn't feed any during our dive in March 2021 and we had 7 around us for about 10 mins before our NDL was getting close and we started our ascend up. We had about 3 or 4 follow our group for another 5 mins as we drifted away. It was a...

I know this is a fairly older post..... but i thought I would also weigh in on some topics in here. I just finished my intro to cave course last month * will go back to finish full cave probably in 1 year want to get more cave dives before going full cave * 1000000% agree Cenote/cavern diving...

You can take a speed boat from PDC to Cozumel. I did this with my normal cavern/cave guide. I think it was around 150 per person for a 2 tank private speedboat from PDC to Santa Rosa wall and the other reef we did in Cozumel. Diving in Akumal is also a better option than PDC for reefs. There...

TLDR: Best week of training I've ever had. My instructor is now definitely a life long friend. I've become a much more aware and safety focused diver than before, and i can't wait to go back again!! So I went for fun dives with wife and friends Aug 26-Sep 2 missed hurricane Ida hitting Texas...

The bullshark dive is a deeper dive also if you aren't aware. bottom depth where they feed them is around 90Ft and current is strong so you go to the bottom and hold a rope in place and after you complete your NDL time limit portion you'll just do a drift dive as you ascend to surface. its a...

I normally dive a 3mm with 3mm boots only in caverns and never got cold. I'm also a Texas Guy so i HATE cold weather! i did recently this last trip buy a Bare Velocity 5mm and holy smokes it gets hot in the caves wearing that. All my guides and instructors wear 7mm and hoods and i laugh when...

i have 3 guides i can gladly provide. i've used them for the last few years each trip down. they have done my AOW, Deep, Cavern, and intro to cave courses with them also. Maravilla is a MUST dive if you want to do Cenotes it is way better than El Pit IMHO. if you have good enough bouyancy...
