Cozumel, Mexico

Cozumel is a dive location I always look forward to. Tons of things to do not to mention the gorgeous diving. I have been diving with the same operation for years and I would recommend them to anyone.
It's a little company, only one six pack boat but the dives are personal and always a wonderful experience. Luck dictates what you are going to see but there are many paleagics that visit this location throughout the year. The best time to go for me would definitely be the winter because the weather is wonderful, 80 degrees. Do not be surprised if your captain is in a dive parka, he is cold. I use Diving with Alison, but there are a bunch of really good operations that operate down there. I always try to stay with a company at the medium price range, she is typically $65 for a two tank dive. I did recently find an operation offering a multi day dive package for about $30 a day for two tank dive(depending on the season.) If anyone has been diving there I would love to hear your review of who you dove with. The sites that I dove are Palancar Gardens, Columbian shallows, Palancar Caves, and a few other sites. The Gardens is a real easy dive available to anyone. I personally recommend that one; we saw sharks, loggerheads, tons of fish and eels.

Exercise for better diving

Ok so it is a fact that it is easier to get buoyant when you have less adipose tissue. Not to mention your trim will be improved. When all these things improve your air consumption will go down. The benefits of a moderate exercise program are numerable so why no start today. Before starting any program you should consult a physician but my work out are very simple but show results. I walk 2 miles a day yes walk, you burn more calories walking then running. Then after that I spot in the jump rope for 50 reps. Then before bed I do 100 push ups this work out is very easy and very fast you need no time at all but it gives you a base to start a more challenging regiment. If you are more advanced then this try it for 30 days then up your resistance. If you have any question I am almost a personal trainer I would be happy to help.

Good diving

Geocaching

Ok recently I have been reading about geocaching and I was thinking maybe we could get together an underwater geocaching society going?  I know GPS does not work underwater but it works to the location.This is a game with no winners or losers I would love what you guys think about this type of geocaching. Let me know

Camping

Now if you are driving a long way to one of these parks, to keep the price down try camping. Hotels run from about 30$ to 70$ per night. Camping on the other hand runs between 1$ to 5$ a night pp. That is a deal that speaks to just about anyone. You can choose to stay in the family area or opt for a little hike and be completely secluded. Make it a cheap, romantic evening or just a way to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. Now if camping is out there is yet another way. Rental cabins are another way. The commute to where you are diving will be considerably less and you will have the basic amenities for comfort. The options are there now lets take advantage of them.
