My favorite DM from Del Mar now has his own business and I am planning to do some extra afternoon dives with him. So if anyone is interested in joining me let me know.
Also, two friends of mine who will be in Coz would like to join us on our boat.



She is right...he is one of all our favorite DM's so SD will certainly support him. :P

We'll do our afternoon dives with him for at least several of the days. I'm waiting on some contact info from him so I can set it up. Usually we only do 1 afternoon dive but if you keep your depth shallow you can certainly do two. On our July 2005 trip we did a number of days of 2am and 2 afternoon dives...so lets see who is interested in what and we'll do it.

Once I hear from the DM, I'll get pricing and details posted. In the meantime who is interested in add'l boat dives?




More Dives????? I'll be there... if the pool is open and my deco limits allow... I'm ready to get / stay wet!! Boat / shore... it's all good. :P :cool1:

Some people choose to dive nitrox to allow that window to be open longer...it is usually available! So we'll get some pricing for it as well!

Three dives is never a worry...four needs to be monitored and you need to stay shallow but it can easily be done! We do them on liveaboards all the time! -ww

Cleared the time off with my boss....

My check is in the mail for both!!

Hooray.


Excellent!!

I've put you on the list for both Holbox and Cozumel :P

now, if everyone on the 'checks in the mail' list are still planning to attend these 2 great events, then Holbox is sold out and Cozumel has only 1 spot left!



Hi,

Please add me to wait list for Holbox and I can do 2 days Coz. You already have my $300 dep as I had to cancel out early on. I have found a solution to my previous dilema and I will wait to see if a spot opens up.
How does that work?

Eagerly hoping to go.........
Jules aka sqzmee


Hi Jules!

I've added you to the waitlist for Holbox and 2 days of Cozumel

If someone on the confirmed list has to cancel, then you would get the spot and we work the waitlist according to who posted in this thread first. I suspect we may have others on the waitlist too

:thankyou: I joined a Dive club last night in Temecula. I met a couple who were in Holbox (Holbosh) last July. They came up on a day trip from Playa Del Carmen. They said it was one of their great experiences in life….Dolphins came up to the boat, breaching Mantas and then a half dozen WhaleSharks. And their guide said it was a very slow day!

Kamala when we discussed this about doing two or three days swimming with the WhaleSharks….Well this couple said they thought about selling their business….and moving to be guides to do it every day! They could not get enough! Sounds like we are in for a great treat!
You must endeavor to pursue!

OK.. Since I'm coming from the west coast... and it's a classic, 'You can't get there from here' situation.. I'll need to arrive in Cancun on the 13th. Any suggestions on where to stay for the night of the 13th? Any of you frequent Mexico travelers have recommendations? is it possible to get an airport suttle so I can avoid renting a car?

Thanks in advance.

How many stars? I don't usually stay in Cancun but I'll email my friends in Mexico and ask. Just let me know if you are more concerned with nice or cheap.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,

I'm arriving on the 13th and my priorities in a place to stay are 1) safe and 2) cheap. I don't need a lot of frills, especially for just one night.

I looked through the topic, and can't find the nitrox info... Did I miss it? Has that been priced?

If I missed it, and it's priced, do we need to send more money now?

Hi Kamala, am interested in taking that last spot for the combo Holbox/Cozumel trip. I was finally able to register this morning, don't know what was going on yesterday. As I said I am a "brand new" diver and like your suggestion of a dive master at this point. I will call to see what I need to do to get this going. Thanks
