    I'm home now with some news, photos & videos from my trip

    This years trip started Jan 28 and we arrived on a beautiful but windy "ports closed" day. There were several of those days this trip including our last day which was yesterday (Feb 18) and it's still closed again today. Once the sea & wind got back to normal I made a shore dive with friends I...

    A bit off topic but any Air Show Junkies here?

    My primary hobby is photography & I really enjoy aviation photography. I've been combining my interest in both fields for several years by shooting radio control events (building & flying is another hobby) as well as the yearly full scale air show we have locally. This week was the first...

    New photo album. Compares waterfront areas Hotel Barracuda to Punta Sur.

    I'm not sure if this will be as useful here as for Tripadvisor members but after having to cut back on my hotel property tour albums at Flickr I finally found a way to show what to expect at most of the hotels, resorts & beach clubs along the west coast starting at Hotel Barracuda & ending at...

    My photos from this years trip are now on line.

    Well I'm back to snow country & done my editing. Conditions on most sites were ideal but I thought the water clarity was a bit lower than usual & I didn't see any big fish what so ever. We've had at least one thread on that topic but I'm a bit disappointed with what wasn't there to see for what...

    Need battery replaced in Aladin Air Z, told no longer serviced.

    I've tried using Scubapro's contact us system but haven't had any form of reply so I'll ask here. In 1996 I purchased the original model of air integrated Aladin Wrist mount computer which I was told came with free batteries for life. In 2004 it needed the battery replaced but my original...

    Lost camera & strobes, end of Colombia

    Lost this AM while waiting to re board boat.Slipped off of wrist when another diver's reg snagged my buoy & I worked to untangle them. Lost after diving Colombia Deep. Easy to see because each strobe has an orange cup cozy on it. Contact info is on memory card both as a photo & in a text file...

    A heads up for Canadians about far fewer flights this winter.

    If you haven't started looking for your flight yet you will not like the options. Air Canada & Westjet have removed many weekday flights from what we're used to & raised prices too. My wife phoned Westjet to see if they intend to add those mid week flights later but they said what you see now is...

    Aeroshow Cozumel is April 1 & 2

    For those of you who don't know there is an air show at the private airport near Chankanaab April 1 & 2. This has been free to attend & I suspect it still is but may be wrong. Either way I've decided to attend this year. It features several highly regarded aerobatic acts including Skip Stewart...

    Aeroshow Cozumel dates announced

    For those interested the air show will be April 16 & 17. This is an aerobatics themed air show featuring several first class pilots at their best. It's held at the private airport south of town & has been free in previous years which is likely this years policy but I may be wrong. There is some...

    For those of you fortunate enough to be on the island in mid May there is an air show at the private plane airport near Chankanaab Park. It's free & features several world class aerobatic pilots performing some great stunts up close to where the spectators are, which is very entertaining but not...

    For those interested this years air show is on April 21 with the practice day / meet the pilots on the 20th. It's an exciting show and it's free but there are several safety concerns to know about before heading there. Rather than go over them again here I recommend reading the existing thread...

    Carnaval parade photos now on line.

    Here's the link to my Coz album sets & I've finished uploading photos from the Sat & the Tuesday parades. Missed the start of Tuesday's parade because it had started before the scheduled time instead of the usual 30-45 minute delays which seem normal...

    Trip report, Feb 1-15

    Once again we stayed at Hotel Cozumel, and friends were joining us on the second week this trip. We had also vacationed together at the Grand in 09 & we were a bit concerned as to whether they’d like Hotel Coz & the food because they didn’t like the Grand. Not only did they like it...

    Leaving tips, (hotel related not diving).

    I thought I'd pass this on after my trip because I've been doing it wrong. This relates specifically to Hotel Cozumel but I would think it's likely the same at the other AI resorts where many don't need to carry money with them. Tips left at the bars or at the buffet go to the bartenders / cooks...
