Ottawa_cruise_man Posted July 23, 2010 Author #26 Share Posted July 23, 2010 But don't you want your BCD that you know fits you comfortably? And your reg-set that you know will work, and was serviced recently? And for me, the snorkel is a big deal too, and the mask must fit. All that is left is boots & fins, add tank & weights! hehe! So I flatten it out in my suitcase, and bring less stuff with me. Or do you guys think the BCDs the dive shop use are perfectly good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottawa_cruise_man Posted July 24, 2010 Author #27 Share Posted July 24, 2010 I found out that the BCDs from Admiralty are Seaquest with integrated weights. If they have my size, AND the Cuzumel guys do too, then I won't need to bring my own BCD, and just bring my own reg set and computer. And snorkel and mask! hehe!

cruisingforsix Posted July 26, 2010 #28 Share Posted July 26, 2010 We went to secret harbor last jan. not the best weather but went snorkeling (my husband&I) the owner Diane took 4 divers down and the guy driving the boat kept an eye on us. wereally enjoyed we saw alot of turtles,tangs and a barracuda went right under us.it was nice just being the only ones there . i'm sure it would have been busier if the weather had been better,but we didn't mind the sprinkles.

dcook2276 Posted July 27, 2010 #29 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Check out http://www.blueislanddivers.com/; you won't be disappointed. They will give you very personal attention and pick you up and drop you off at your ship. Depending on the cruise ship you are on; they are located in Crown Bay right next to the port where the Oasis of the Seas docks along with the new Allure. Call D.J.; tell him Darlene sent you. 340-642-7939. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2007 I mooned some friends from our 9th deck balcony when sailing on the Jewel of the Seas. So this Moon-Man thin has kinda stuck to me. :) Sorry about you not coming - I'm still researching good dive shops. Cozumel has a lot more shops to choose from, BTW. At least, I haven't researched St. Thomas that well: it's next on my list! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presidente's at Sunset bar and Grill always makes for a good day. Walk to the other side of the beach to Guys Driftwood boat bar and have one of their rum punches. Then you gotta "ride the fence" this time.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way if you get blown down or need to run, you won't have to do it across asphalt. I did it several times but chickened out on the 747. The Airbus was a big enough blast for me.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAVP Posted August 6, 2010 #38 Share Posted August 6, 2010 On 7/28, we did a two tank beach dive from Coki Beach with Peter (Coki Beach Dive Club). As a warm up dive (it had been 18 months since our last dive) it was quite nice - very good beach conditions, very nice visibility, lots to see - turtles, eels, a lively reef. This was the second time we dove at Coki Beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debsea Posted August 6, 2010 #39 Share Posted August 6, 2010 We dove with Admiralty Dive in St. Thomas. They picked us up right at the cruise ship pier. Two good dives, the second one was a drift dive. I would dive with them again. Very professional. They fresh water rinsed all our equipment back at their shop before they drove us back to the pier.
