The last tim I was in Cozumel, I went with my 20 year old son. He decided that diving morning, afternoon and night was more diving than he wanted to do. So we shifted gears and found afternoon activities. There was an ATV brouchure in the hotel lobby. I think it was about $60-70??? But we...

As one of those Texans Marcoa mentioned that just left, I'll vouch for everything he said about life on the island at this time. The only real concern we had was whether or not we'd make it to the grocery store before they closed each day so we'd have anough alcohol for the late night pool...

Just came back from Roatan yesterday. The big concern is how the media is displaying the unrest on the mainland, which couldn't be further from the truth in Roatan. Other than the imposed curfew during the week (we created our own little late night group parties each night around the hotel...

Since your intent seems to be to promote the bad service you've "personally been witness to in the three years and thousands of dollars spent in that shop", I'd question why you spent three years and thousands of dollars there if you weren't happy the entire time? I don't want to know what...

Done and sent.

Are they the same Monkey and Eddie from Papa Hogs?

Maybe I'm just blind (which is entirely possible), but who is the company and what is the website?

Agreed. If you're already swimming and doing the 800 in 12 minutes, you'll be fine. I think the average is around 15-16 minutes.

I'd do my best to negotiate the 800 at the lake. Lap pools may have other people in your lane at the same time, and calculate how much time and energy you lose making multiple turns in the pool. Remember, you're being timed, so I'd want as straight a line as possible. We did ours at the lake...

For the 800, get a snorkel that is the biggest open unobstructed airway you can find. I made the mistake of using a dry snorkle and I couldn't breathe through it well at all for the entire 800 yards. Thought I was going to die about halfway through the swim.

Congratulations, welcome to the club. And great advice about the swimming!

I think we need a thread with all the pics! I have two from years ago, but still trying to figure out a third one that will be my first scuba related tattoo. I have some basic ideas but haven't tied it all together yet.

Wish I could, I love this program! But I'm just a lowly PADI DM apparently not qualified to teach.

That's the big problem! When we were there for the first time earlier this year, we paid just over $500 for a round trip ticket and were trying to make plans regarding multiple trips in the near future. Then airfares got unreasonable, airlines stopped flights, and when I checked this week it...

It has been almost 10 months since we were there but I don't recall anything being outrageous priced. What I do recall (not even the names of the two stores) is the one closest to the airport seemed to have a smaller selection overall, but more of the common "American" items we were used to...

Nothing special to report. Decent place, stayed there a couple of times in the last two years on group trips. LONG walk to town from there, but still a cheap taxi ride. I wouldn't pay the extra for the all-inclusive as the food is so-so. Free safe deposit boxes accessible right next to front...

Happy Birthday!!! Enjoy the next two weekends. Hope to see you in class soon.

Recently came back from San Juan. Didn't get to dive but everything chrispete said sounds like the same stuff I was told while there. Not much diving in San Juan but the best stuff is supposed to be around on the southwest side.

Ordered the stuff about a month ago and just got around to opening it last night as we prepare for a trip next weekend. I have to say, this was a lot of fun to do together with a group of friends, and it actually will be very useful. It was also fun and difficult not to try to create some not...

I stayed in Den Laman, which houses that dive shop, and actually stayed in the room above the shop. We never heard anything at all unless we had the windows open. There are two places the tanks get filled, one on the dock and one across from the shop. Both are far enough away not to be a...
