how do you find the cheapest airfare?

Dee, I like that idea alot - especially if it means saving money. Are there any dive shops you recommend looking at. I have been spending all my evenings the past two weeks looking around on the internet and have gotten myself overwhelmed. My husbad and I pretty much scrapped the idea of going over the Christmas holidays, just too $$$$$$$ for us. I'd rather do a week long trip later for less money. Now we have decided to go in April. That way several more of our friends will be able to go as well. Thanks all for your help. I have really learned about some new websites that I didn't know about before.

Mars2U - somehow I just don't think that masquerading as a pilot would "fly" (hee hee) in this day and age

You might want to check out Taca's website (http://www.taca.com/index.asp)- they have flights out of DFW & HOU to Belize and Cancun. I've found that their flights can be cheaper than the US carriers.
You might also want to check out Go Cozumel-(http://www.gocozumel.com/cozumel-air-travel.htm)- they list a number of charters that fly out of the Texas gateways.

You may find that April is also a bad time because of college spring break. Airfares always seem to be higher then. I find late Jan - Feb, May, Sept - mid Nov to be low airfare times. When school is out airfares go up, holidays airfares go up, spring break airfares go up....you get the picture.
