And while you have the snorkel in hand put a wrap of solas (reflective) tape around the top, it makes you easier to spot on night dives not that we will be doing any of those in Holbox.

Night diving? Night Snorkeling?And while you have the snorkel in hand put a wrap of solas (reflective) tape around the top, it makes you easier to spot on night dives not that we will be doing any of those in Holbox.
When will we have time for tequila tasting?
No aquarium, no tank in a marine land, however spacious it may be, can begin to duplicate the conditions of the sea. And no dolphin who inhabits one of those aquariums or one of those marine lands can be considered normal.

I thought the T-shirt said -We can get Paton in the U.S., we go to Mexico to dive!
"Cozumel - a drinking town with a diving problem"

Kamala, I am definitely leaning towards skipping class on Monday to make the trip. Scott also tells me that leaving Sunday would be very difficult and quite expensive. I would just try to fly Cancun to Maui or come back home to San Diego, pick up change of luggage (and dive gear)
and then head for Maui. I am planning for my usual in Holbox, a single room
Starting to get excited!! Oh the planning this will take.
Scott, thanks for the added info. I agree this is a must do! Emailed you back. Will let you know how plans progress.
Rosa
Hey girl...pm sent with the add'l charge for an early return. I hope you can join us and return with the group! Let me know...and yes I have a single room for you!

Kamala, logistics question... what IS the weight limit (if any) for Holbox. Will the ferries restrict us? Or is it the normal airlines "2 checked bags, 50 lbs each"? I will probably have to stash my Maui luggage in my car at LAX and swap out since I will have different requirements in Holbox. Final flight research tonight. I should know in a few minutes if I can make it.....
