Just got back from a long weekend in Coz (Flew down last Thursday and came back on Tuesday). Got in four dive days. Thank goodness I was diving with Aldora because the first two days the port was closed and there was no diving--except with Aldora which had a couple of boats over on the...

I seem to get the best results just getting pesos from an atm for food and drinks. I have found that paying cash (dollars) for diving can be a good idea. Credit card for hotel--seems to be no cash advantages that I have found so far.

I am a big fan of the Pinnacle Marino lined suits. I have a 3, 5, and 7 plus a core warmer and hooded vest. But one disappointment I have had, has been in the zippers. I have had to have the 3 mil repaired once when teeth fell out of a leg zipper. And I sent back two of the 7 mils for...

Reading this thread made me reflect on my Bonaire trip. It was a group trip and if I ever go back, I would want to go with a group. The majority of my dive trips are either with just my wife, or solo. Bonaire, in my opinion, is better with a group so that you have more ready dive buddies. It...

You know, it isn't just price. Sometimes I get the urge to buy at 8:00 PM on a Tuesday night. I want to read about the gear. I want to compare accross multiple competing brands. I don't want to have to deal with an obviously biased point of view. And I like not having to drive somewhere; it...

Now that is an understatement.

Hmmm. I kept my cap on, in the storage box it came with, and that whole thing in a pelican case where I keep my save a dive kit. I have taken it out a half dozen times over the past year and a half and it wont calibrate past 11.8. I guess it is dead. didn't turn out to be a very good...

How do people make those tickerfactory signatures. No matter what I do, it looks like this:

You cold water guys amaze me. 82F is definitely a 3 75 is at least a 5 and I am probably adding my core warmer as the week progresses.

Forgot to say that yes it is on Solmar V. thanks guys.

Panama City doesn't look all that bad from my point of view.

A lot of very good points made here. I lived in down in Kendall in southwest Dade 25 years ago. That was when I first started diving. Back then Fort Lauderdale seemed like another world from the point of view of congestion. Jupiter was past my normal roaming range--it was way north. And...

I apologize in advance for being somewhat redundant to the existing thread on "Where to move for best diving in Florida?" started by taymere, but my criteria are slightly different. We are lifelong DINKs so budget is less constrained especially since we plan to downsize when we retire. Our...

We are going to Soccoro in late January. Somewhere I read that they don't do night dives. Before I leave my lights at home, I thought I would ask those who have been whether I should bring them or leave them.

Wife, sister, brother-in-law, and mother going with me to Coz December 21-28. Diving with Aldora. sister and brother-in-law staying at Villa Aldora. Wife, mother and me staying at Suites Bahia.

I was just wondering what is Monkey Diving. I love my TTW and don't think I need a 12 pound wing, but it doesn't mean I am not curious about the intended application.

Let me just say this about that. Aventura Spa Palace is far and away the nicest all inclusive I have ever stayed at. It is fabulous even if you don't get to dive. I found that for a price the dive shop would pick us up. We dove the Cenotes three days when we stayed at Aventura. We still...

Sorry for all the noise in my post. I cut and pasted from a word doc.

Habitat Curacao Resort. We just returned from a 7 night stay at the Habitat Curacao Resort. I will summarize this way: One evening a local wine merchant hosted a wine tasting that was patronized primarily by locals. We happened to meet a woman who claimed to be an ÅÊnvestor in the property...

Ok, ok, ok, beatings officially accepted. Perhaps I took the wrong tack trying to lay a predicate for my question. And I didn’t mean to imply that I wanted a drinking trip, but one can buy a dollar beer at sidewalk spot in coz and kill two hours pleasantly watching the crowd and talking...
