Me and the good looking one (wife) are looking at mid June at the Occidental Grand.

I'll be at the Grand June 29th, amongst a party of 14 Canadians, 9 of which are inveterate divers, primed to plumb the translucent aqueous heaven that is Cozumel, & diving with Palancar Divers.

Regards,
DSD

Two weeks have passed since the last update. No new arrivals. Well, that suits me just fine. I hate crowds.

At least we're not as lonely as the few souls on the July list.

So Monday I send out my reg and computer for service. Computer goes to the only place in the U.S. that services grey-market (i.e. Leisure Pro) Suuntos AFAIK, a shop in Colorado. Can't decide if I want to send my reg to Gypsy Divers again, which did a fine job, or to ScubaToys which would be cheaper. With barely a month to go, it may depend on who's faster.

Passport on the way. Got my photos at the local UPS Store. Went back after I realized they made my head too big. Owner argued with me, insisting that they'd accept my big head even though it's very clear on the application how big your head can be and mine was obviously way outsized. She finally agreed to reshoot the pics, and again tried making my head too big. I had her zoom out. She said it wouldn't be acceptable because it showed too much of my shoulders. I told her I didn't agree and we left my shoulders nice and big, head small. Sure enough, when I returned home and got on the US Passport website, the "acceptable" photo example showed just as much shoulder as in my new shrunken-headed pic. I sure wish they'd train the so-called professional passport photographers a little better. So far so good. Passport office e-mailed that my package arrived and they haven't called to complain about my shoulders yet. With expedited turnaround, they should be almost done.

That just leaves packing. Getting close.

I had my passport stuff done at CVS. Amazing how a private company can .. nevermind. Dont want to start a battle .

I am getting mine done by Cozumel Scuba Repair once I am back on the island. They will have it done in a day, they will do a great job and the price is right.

I'll keep that in mind for the next trip. Unfortunately this trip I don't get in until the afternoon on the 14th and I'm scheduled on the boat the morning of the 15th. Unless they're willing to work late...

No local place to do it?

My local shop charges for things I don't want and I'm skeptical whether they change out all the parts (o-rings, etc.) that are supposed to be changed out. I can drive 100 miles r/t to L.A. and have lots of shops to choose from, but for the 200 miles worth of gas (drop off and pick up), it's cheaper to ship.

I just had a brilliant idea - since I need to ship my Suunto to Colorado anyway (local service is definitely not an option with my grey-market D9), why not have that same shop service my reg? That way I save on shipping costs (just one box) and I don't even have to remove the pressure transmitter from the HP port. Doh!
