I had a hard time finding GeoFish. They were on a corner with no large sign visible, but they had a smaller sign in the window. I would have gone diving with them, but couldn't find the shop and ended up at Scuba Playa.

I expected 80% of my trip to be thoroughly enjoyable and I think it met or surpassed my expectations in most categories except restaurant service. Overall that's a great experience IMO and I can definitely recommend the island to others who want a quiet, authentic Mexican experience and aren't...

Yeah... the tone of my OP was negative and not indicative of my trip. I edited it for clarity and adjusted the criticism to be more specific.

We just got back Sunday from an 8-day trip to Playa and Isla Mujeres and I thought I'd put down my experiences for reference. We arrived at Cancun Int'l early-afternoon on Sat Feb 7th and took the shuttle over to the Playa del Carmen bus. Don't let the information desk people tell you it...

Playa Dive was pretty expensive (+30%) over the other dive shops and they were a bit optimistic about the quality of the dives we made. Yes they were beautiful, but 90% of the dives were barren landscape with little to see. I paid $115 for a two-tank dive WITH my own gear and the wetsuit I...

I'll be diving PDC, Cancun, Isla Mujeres the dates of Feb 8-14th and would consider finding a dive buddy on scubaboard a huge score... If anyone will be in that area those dates, please feel free to send me a PM or an email to ehuber@yahoo.com :dork2:

I'll be in Playa Feb 7-9th and will stop in and say hello... I'm interested in a cenote trip and perhaps a night reef dive. Can't wait to check it out. From Feb 9-14th we'll be in Isla Mujeres

I was part of a dive incident involving a fin strap and can definitively tell you that fixing one of those buggers at depth is not ideal and can cause serious problems on a dive. Or worse. When you're at 120 or 200 feet and lose a fin strap it is HIGHLY inconvenient. If you're going into...

I dive fewer times than I'd like to due to a lack of dive buddies.

I've made several purchases through LP and had great success, with excellent prices, usually gotten free shipping, and had zero problems. It's too bad they're in NYC, as I can't stand that place! Ick.

Don't take any crap from the LDS about where you may (or may not) purchase gear, and if they inquire just tell them you're testing the gear out for future purchases only. They'll respect your interest in staying flexible and open-minded and should appreciate your rental business. If you do...

I'm an advocate of early education. Take courses all the way up through Rescue at whatever pace you feel comfortable. Once you "ding" Rescue, get a great amount of experience diving before you progress any further and certainly before you consider tech or DM. Please consider, however, that...

1) never feel guilty how you spend your discretionary income 2) do what's best for YOU 3) diversify your instructor base, learn from multiple instructors... where one instructor may have a gift for instructing beginners, another may have good tech background

you're better off taking a regulator service course, learning how to do it properly and doing it yourself or, yeah, just buying new regs your lds ripped you off badly

I am extremely happy with my Highland bands. If you're going to pay for a name, might as well be with the best bands. If you were getting a backplate/harness then, yeah, go Halcyon... Feel free to call xs scuba before your purchase and confirm you have the right size, parts, etc. They'll be...

I have just moved from MN to CA and am concerned about the effect that salt water may have on my steel HP130s, bands, manifold, and regulators. I have heard some people even suggest that they never use their steel tanks in salt water, which is disconcerting to say the least after the...

I use double HP130s and haven't found anyone, yet, who can match my gas volume. They're heavy, very hard to transport, difficult to don, require a large frame and good strength, and you probably won't be able to use all the gas in a given day of diving unless you're planning some serious deep...

Being an adult and armed with the knowledge that you are able to hold your pee for more than an hour after using the facilities should make a pee valve a little silly unless you're planning a ludicrously long ranged deco dive. Just pee before you go and save your drysuit from an unnecessary...

I am currently living in the Central Coast of California and was looking for information on hull cleaning work. Is there anybody out there that has information they would be willing to share about this kind of work (equipment, marketing, methods) or resources they could point me to?
