Cozumel for 3 days of diving. I have not dove there for 4 years, I can't wait.

I was there about 4 years ago also... Awesome place. I did the SNUBA while I was there , that was pretty cool except for the "leash"

Have fun.

I heard it was still a bit messed up from the hurricanes.

What the hell does SNUBA stand for???

Edit: or is it the bastard child of snorkelling and SCUBA?

I'm guessing its old school, with an air hose hooked to a compressor topside.

i think it is a helmet with a air hose stuck to it from up above. you walk in the water holdm on to a handrail and look at fish? am i close? looks like a good way to get used to being under h20

Yup , bastardized SCUBA.. But it actually is pretty fun. No helmet , just goggles , fins , weight belt , and a regulator and a long air hose that goes up to a raft topside. Im sure it doesnt compare to SCUBA by any means , but I did get down about 25 ft. or so and saw plenty of interesting fish and plants.

cozumel doesnt start gettting really cool until about 60ft.

drift dives along the shelf are beautiful there!

Yeah , I figured as much. But just going about 25 ft. deep was 1,000,000 X better than anything the Houston area has to offer

It was part of a cruise package deal.
