I have been away from ScubaBoard for some time. Sure looks different. I am going to Cozumel from mid February to mid March and staying at the Landmark Resort condo complex. I know from having visited there last year that there is a dock adjacent to The Money Bar and I saw divers being picked...

I'm looking for some clarification on the status of GeoFish and Abyss Dive Shops. I was by the GeoFish location and it was locked up and empty. I was also told that Abyss was also vacant but did not go by to verify. I was leaving town before I could check it out. Can I get a confirmation on the...

In March/2012, I did a day trip to Akumal for some snorkelling with my wife and her brother's family. The wind was up and the water choppy. We didn't see as much as usual in the bay so we headed south to Xcacel beach. I hadn't been there before but it was recommended by a friend who called it a...

Playa del Carmen, Mexico. I did a 2-tank dive today with my son. He is a 30 year old in good health with normal height and weight and no medical issues. He received his OW 4 years ago and did no dives after that. Today he did a 'Refresher' in the pool and then we went to the reef. We did a dive...

I'm in the early stages of planning a trip for September of 2012. The tour is of Vietnam and Cambodia ending in Bangkok on the 27th of Septembet/2012. It is a two week tour with my wife and I was hoping to spend a few days (up to a week) diving at the end of the tour. Is there any day trip boat...

I am looking for a Red Sea liveboard that departs on the 15th or 16th of May, 2011. I would prefer an itinerary that includes The Brothers but will consider anything. I am looking for a 7 to 10 day trip. I will be in Cairo on the 13th of May/2011.

I will be in Cairo on May 13th/2011 at the end of a Globus tour of Egypt. I am looking to spend a week on a liveaboard in the Red Sea. I have decided that the 'Brothers' trip is the one I would most likely prefer and now need some advice on a Charter company. Any suggestions and opinions are...

We did 4 dives yesterday and another 4 today. Looking forward to 4 more tomorrow. The gang at GeoFish have been super. Our group is planning to do the whale shark snorkel trip on Saturday as our desat day before heading home oin Sunday. THE BIG QUESTION. Do we go from Holbox or from Puerto...

FYI - Divers in SW Ontario and N Michigan. Ed from London, Ontario. I'm heading to Playa del Carmen, Mexico, July 18th to 25th/2010. That's only four weeks away and the 4th in our foursome has bailed on me. We are staying at my condo in Playa and I have arranged an intensive dive schedule of 19...

I'm planning a trip and I want to do a 3 tank cenote dive that starts with Angelita and finishes with two tanks someplace else. I was thinking Carwash because I haven't been there. Are there two lines at Carwash? Or maybe a second dive really close by?

I need to rent a car this Wednesday and Thursday in Playa del Carmen. I need a six passenger, 4 adults and 2 children, that won't break the bank. Any recent experiences would be appreciated. Posts or PMs are welcome.

I did my Cozumel dive on March 1st/2010. My original plan was to join some SBers at Dive With Martin but as so often happens 'plans change'. I ended up using Aquatic Sports and Expeditions. Since I have done several dives with Dive With Martin in the past I wanted to try someone new and Aquatic...

I'm going to be in Playa from FEB 18th until MAR 11th. If there is ANYONE that has already booked with one of the dive shops in town during that time I would appreciate the chance to buddy-up. Cenote or reef, doesn't matter. My dive schedule is flexible right now because this is not a 'dive'...

A couple from London (Ontario) were at the Iberostar resort on Cozumel before Christmas. He was diving with the resort 'Dressel Divers'. They are associated with Iberostar and have a dive shop in each resort complex (world-wide where diving is available I believe). He wasn't impressed with the...

Playa del Carmen GeoFish used to post a regular report on the local dives from their dive shop in Playa del Carmen. I can't say I read every one but I did check in on a regular basis. As I sit here in the snow of SW Ontario, looking forward to my FEB vacation, I think it would be nice to read a...

3rd JAN/2010 at 1100hrs Anyone that's going to be in the Sarnia area on Sunday should check out under the Bluewater Bridge. The gang from SWODA will be doing a little diving (conditions permitting).SWODA | Providing great dive experiences for over 20 years

I will only have one opportunity in my lifetime to dive in the Red Sea. I need to know when, where, and with who. I realize it will be 'liveaboard'. My wife and I, plus 2 other couples, will be doing a "Globus" tour of Egypt in 2011. I will stay an extra week after they depart. My trip has to...

Doing the Blackbeard's out of Freeport this November. Did the same trip last year with a 3/2 full but felt chilled more often than I would like. I want to keep to the 3/2 but would like some input on the best way to improve the chill factor. I have a 2mm hood plus a full lycra body suit under...

I've noticed a couple of comments on various threads that there is actually more life on the reef with the lack of tourism. Can anyone who has been there recently, and with past experience to compare it to, either confirm or deny this? Anyone have a local/dive op perspective? A little silver...

Once a tank has been checked and there is rust visible inside - is the tank garbage or can it be cleaned/serviced. It is a 120 steel used for nitrox. I tried to search for a quick answer but nothing jumped out at me.
