Door to door shuttle may be your best bet. For two people, a taxi may be just as good. Using the bus is slightly more economical, however, you'll need a taxi from/to the bus station. If your resort is in the Playacar area, that would be about $8-10 each way. As for diving in Coz, you can...

I recommend Playa del Carmen, as well. Esp. if you can stay near downtown close to the ferry pier. That gives you options of going to Cozumel for a day of diving and/or touring. Or hook up with a dive shop in town for diving from Playa. Being near downtown allows you to walk to the restaurants...

I know this is an older thread, but, I had almost the same problems with my Cressi Archimede computer as the OP and his Wisdom. It usually happens with salt water diving. I just try to make sure the fresh water rinse is fresh and give it a little submerged shaking and rub the contacts. When done...

I have what I believe is the Dive Optix product, also. Just some water adhesion with alittle pressure and allowed to dry properly. I've had them in place since Jan of 09. Over the last two seasons I've been in salt, fresh and pool water. And in water temps of 40 to 70 plus degrees. I defog using...

Have her place her face underwater while breathing from the regulator. No mask. Nose must be underwater to do this. A natural reaction would be not to breathe from nose.

Yes, lots of lakes, but, only a handfull used with any frequency. A lake most divers cut their teeth on is Square lake. Others in no particular order are Perch in Wisconsin, the mines up in Crosby-Ironton and by Gilbert. Lake Superior, Minnetonka, Mille lacs and some Minneapolis lakes. Another...

First of all, I am not affiliated with Scuba Center, but, I am with another. I was Open Water Certified with Scuba Center and was very satisfied. I think they are in the top four or five shops here. The shops mentioned are PADI 5-Star shops. And for some people on this board it doesn't mean...

Maybe I should retract my statement. However, non of our dives ended by the DM. He was back onboard before most of us began our safety stop. We had a group of 11 people and more than half were instr/dm's ourselves so that may have factored in.

My first trip there was in Feb so I can't speak much on overall improvements except they were doing work in the dive training room and on the units closest to the boat docks. It is a nice resort, but for someone diving all day, it was too nice! Nice beach, I think, and good food. I didn't...

RoatanMan, I pick number two of your photos. That's exactly what I saw. I did check out the Marine- what is it - forum after I posted here and found a similar question asked with similar responses. Thanks

We were in Roatan over a month ago now and while diving we saw these round things in several locations. They looked like big marbles. Varied in size from maybe golf ball to billiard ball size. Assuming they may be eggs, but, any thoughts from someone in the know? DET

It's easier to cool off than to warm up underwater. Take the 3 mm. det

k8brandt DO bring plenty of bug spray, the no-see-ums and mosquitoes are bad. Also anti-itch stuff, as you WILL get bit, no matter what. Actually, bug spray was about the only thing we brought and didn't use! I didn't spend much time on the beach, so only 3 bites of no see ums all week and...

robintSo I am reading on most of the PDC dive op websites that they offer Cozumel diving with a trip over on a ferry necessary. So is there a dive op waiting for you at the ferry dock? Or do they have you take a taxi from there to a particular dive op? How is this done? :confused: I have...

I have found it takes a combination of internet searches, and a map (from Mapchick) to research dive shops in the area. Try Googleing, and the PADI website. It will have, of course, PADI shops. And try some local travel forums, also. I have attached some of my research to help you get...

For those looking for a place to park near Downtown PDC, there was a small lot strait west of the ferry pier and behind the "upscale shopping center". Enter of 10th Ave.

We have done this a few times. Some of the things we have done have been where the divers head over in the morning for their dives and meet the others early afternoon. We have rented a car to drive around the island for a little sight seeing and bar hopping. This was before the hurricanes, so I...

I can't believe the insensitivity in many of these posts! Have you thought about the position the OP was in? The first dive was the hand hold. A little unusual. During the SI she made a comment about hand holding. Nothing that required expletives and "do that again and I'll ...." The second dive...

To address the OP, I have a handful of dives in both places and they do differ. Coz, for example, has larger coral structures or reefs. PDC has larger schools of fish. And I have, also, seen larger fish in PDC. We usually stay in PDC and I will split my dive time between the two. For people...

I have used DiveMiKe a few times and would use them again. Mike and his staff were great. I was unable to use them last March, but, I did stop in and talked to the lady manning the store. She said Mike had recently taken back ownership of the store and trying to get it back into the condition he...
