We've been to Iberostar, Allegro and Fiesta Americana. All were similar with respect to offering buffets with some al a carte options and made to order omelets in the morning. It's probably been 12 years since going to Iberostar but I've been to several on the mainland too and never found the...

Sunset from Room at Fiesta Americana: Night dive boat ride out: Pools, palms, patio, power lines at Fiesta Americana:

Still my favorite of all my puffer pics because it shows their playfulness... this guy playing cat and mouse with me in the turtle grass on a shore dive between FA and the Money Bar.

Some not mentioned yet: "What is the water temp like in ? and how thick of a wetsuit should I wear?" "What to do when I'm not diving?" "What camera should I buy and take on my first OW dives in Cozumel?" But my personal favorites are; knives, gloves, taxis, tipping and AI.

When you don't care to dive Devil's Throat.

Sounds like a good argument in favor of all inclusive resorts... I concur! While I understand they are exercising free enterprise and everyone is looking out for numero uno, it only adds to my displeasure for trekking into town nowadays. Caveat Emptor.

Been away for several months... good to see the AI vs Non-AI debate still alive and strong with no shortage of personal attacks. I'm a fan too. While traveling with our infant, now 7-year old daughter staying at Fiesta Americana, Occidential Grand and resorts throughout the Riviera Maya (No...

I can recommend Dive Mike for diving out of PDC proper or Dive Aventuras if you happen to stay further south toward Tulum. It's arguable, that the better open water diving is found south of PDC. The best beach I ever experienced was at Club Maeve but unfortunately, it's abandoned and in ruins...

What aquarium did you take those at? Just kidding... Spectacular especially the B&W Moray.

Generally speaking, that does tend to be the case but in this instance, I read it as an attempt to clear an overt negative perception before they even had a chance to take out their first boat clients. I'm not taking sides here and have no fiscal interests with anyone involved. For a few...

I'm not incorrect... just dealing with the information I have (not just here but other social media sites) which is obviously much different than yours, Christi. Further, I don't think it's a good idea for anyone with privileged and/or non-public information to persuade others in a public forum...

... and now the plot thickens. Well, not really. Maybe I missed it, but I never heard Eva complain about the contacts being taken and now Jeanie and justified her rights to the list. I for one didn't realize that she did bookings for other resorts. She was just the one that responded when I...

In addition to hairdressers... auto mechanics, dentists, IT consultants, physicians, massage therapists. It happens and is usually a condition of their employment and subject to their termination type but becoming more rare as valuable as the information is nowadays. With that said, I have no...

Ditto but we've seen this happen before.... Think Papa Hogs --> Scuba Mau --> Opal's Dream You have to question who owns the customer contact information. I know of some scenarios where the employee is entitled to this information but I wouldn't think Jeanie's role would have warranted such...

Interesting development to say the least. I'll miss working with Jeanie on my reservations but far too many positives diving with BA for me to "jump ship". I wish her all the luck.

Awesome trip report. We were diving with Jorge just 2 weeks ago and bug Jeanie to death requesting him with each trip. We love the way he leaves us alone when we want to be left alone or engages in hilarious conversations. His laid-back style suites us just perfectly. We too have Cobras...

Damn! Last week, I wanted to take pictures of the phone book for all the dive shops listed to post just for this reason. This idea won't fly and never does here. Nevertheless, even if Christi and Dave were to consent to it, none of the other 90 shop owner have agreed to have their...

So sorry I couldn't make it either but I really, really wanted to. It was a bitter sweet trip for me that left me having sever sinus congestion starting Thursday and still continues today for me and my wife just caught it too! I didn't want to exposed anyone to anything I had going on. It was...

No I agree, cards are cheap (now) and you have options for off loading. But it's definitely something to consider that when shooing RAW, it's going to take 5 times as much as you're previously used to. Not all the long ago (2006ish), when I got my G9 I had purchased 2, shiny and new class 6...

But it's good to keep in mind that you will need some hefty sized memory cards when shooting RAW.
