Scuba Forum / General / December 2007Anybody Wanna Go Divin With Me and the Missus?
Just booked ourselves to Cozumel/Iberostar for 8-15 Dec. Feel free to join us. Play your cards right and I'll show you a jawfish For an interesting price comparison, get the price for the package from Toronto (YYZ) to Cozumel (CZM) from Air Canada Vacations here http://www.aircanadavacations.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/home_page?storeId=10 001&langId=-1 Then see what air only costs from the same airline. http://www.aircanada.ca/e-home.html Dan Bracuk Never use a big word when a diminutive one will do. > Just booked ourselves to Cozumel/Iberostar for 8-15 Dec.

I didn't see any on the Grove last winter, but didn't really see any sand on those dives, either. Accidentally leaving my perscription mask at home didn't help much either :-) -hh "Dan Bracuk" <NOTbracuk@pathcom.com> wrote in message . > For an interesting price comparison, get the price for the package > from Toronto (YYZ) to Cozumel (CZM) from Air Canada Vacations > > Then see what air only costs from the same airline. So which did you book? ;-)) That's some disparity. One can only wonder the economics of that pricing. Especially when you consider that the lower of the prices includes lodging. "ben bradlee" <NoWay@Way.Bite.Me> pounded away at his keyboard resulting in: :That's some disparity. One can only wonder the economics of that pricing. :Especially when you consider that the lower of the prices includes lodging. It was kind of like that last year too. Iberstar was our first choice but we didn't book immediately. Then when we decided to book, it was not available. We could however, buy tickets on the same airplane for more than the price of a package. My guess is that Air Canada allotted x seats to Air Canada Vacations. It was first come, first served, and we were too late. We went to Grand Cayman instead. We had a reasonably good time. This pricing is indeed, bizarre.

I will look into it though. I will be in Coz from Dec. 10-14. I think the place I'm at is called Hotel Cozumel. Never stayed there but it sounds crappy. We should hook up. It won't be as nice as our West Ed Mall dive but what the hell. Brian Edmonton, Alberta > Just booked ourselves to Cozumel/Iberostar for 8-15 Dec. Feel free to > join us.

We haven't booked our diving yet but will be doing most of it with the onsite shop. That's not necessarily the same as all of it. What dive shop are you using? Dan Bracuk Never use a big word when a diminutive one will do. I'm not sure where Hotel Cozumel is. I heard it's about 10 minutes outside of town. Apparently we have booked with Dive Paradise in the mornings of Dec 10-14. Depending on what time they get back maybe we could get together for some afternoon stuff.

You guys going to Coz, try to schedule a last dive relatively shallow, drifting along above and about 50 feet or so beyond the edge of the drop off. It's a very different perspective and an awe inspiring dive. Dan and Pat, I hope you're going to do some dives to depths greater than you did down here. I don't recall enjoying any of the shallow dives in Coz. They were all too fast and furious for my taste. In my opinion, the best diving around the island is over the edge, between 50 feet or so and whatever you consider your maximum depth.

There are some real nice top-of-the-reef dives in Cozumel, or at least there were until Wilma covered them all with sand. The current isn't roaring all the time.

I just dive where the boat takes me. I don't have AOW so anything over and above that is much too complicated.

Take your computers. When I was in Coz, they asked where divers wanted to go. I don't think I ever heard anyone way "someplace shallow." Coz is about walls and they start somewhere around 50 feet or so. Lee > > I just dive where the boat takes me.

Since Dan's probably been to Cozumel more times than you, I wonder if he already knows that? Just my opinion.

My computer is in my console, I always dive with it. The thing is, on our recent trip to the Keys, it just never seemed necessary to turn it on.

I don't think I looked at it, or my SPG, even once while we were in the Keys together. I did look at my compass and watch occasionally.

I did look at my > compass and watch occasionally. I looked at mine because I hadn't done a dive that shallow since I had bought the computer and was curious what it would show... Well, that plus being curious how much digging I would need to do to get down to my first deco stop... <grin>  Signature"Sometimes too much drink is not enough."

Apparently we have booked with Dive Paradise in the :mornings of Dec 10-14. Depending on what time they get back maybe we :could get together for some afternoon stuff. Hotel Cozumel is the resort formerly known as Fiesta Inn. One website said it was a mile and a half south of town and the Papa Hogs site said it was a quarter mile south of town. I'm guessing it's a bit south of the old cruise ship pier, where the airplane wreck. Where's ReefFish when we need him? Ibersostar is even further south. The last time we stayed at Iberostar, the dive shop had two 1 tank afternoon dives. I just emailed them to see if that's still the case. If it is, we could do something like this. We'll do our morning dives, and after lunch you come to Iberostar. We'll do the late afternoon dive. Then Patti and I will have a quick shower and the three of us can grab a cab to Hotel Cozumel. You can clean up dump your gear and then we can go to supper somewhere. There are some restaurants around the southern pier, or we can go downtown. Cabs are cheap in Coz. Or we can skip the dive and just hook up for supper somewhere. Dan Bracuk Never use a big word when a diminutive one will do. I'll be in touch closer to the date and we can firm up our plans then. I wouldn't mind diving with you guys again. Brian Edmonton, Alberta > Hotel Cozumel is the resort formerly known as Fiesta Inn.

The plan you suggested in October will work fine. We are booked for morning dives from the 10th to the 14th. I could do those then boogie down to Iberostar after lunch and do the late afternoon thing. I will have a car so getting around won't be a problem. Flying to Akumal tomorrow(today). I'll be at the internet cafe in the evenings so ping me. Brian Edmonton, Alberta > The last time we stayed at Iberostar, the dive shop had two 1 tank > afternoon dives.

Being on the beach doesn't suck. Even if you spend time looking for the entrance, you see something new. Have a great trip. We're not able to go this year, so I'm a bit envious. al >> In article <262a03bb-db88-42a4-93f4- >> 7c9761532...@s19g2000prg.googlegroups.com>, scuba.edmon...@gmail.com [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >Weeks for a day or two.
