I’ve been assigned to organise the Cozumel trip in February 2011, for the U of A Scuba Club and I’m happy to announce that we are now taking bookings! We have 12 spots open this year, up from 8 last year, and already we have 6 bookings! The trip is half full and we have over 6 months to fill the rest. If the trip fills up before the end of August, we will open up a few additional spots. For a quick overview of the trip, check out my post Cozumel 2010. To keep up to date with the trip details, all of the information here is updated on the U of A Scuba’s Website: www.uofascuba.com/cozumel/.Very few of the details have changed from last year, but hit the read more link to get the rest of the goodies!

Now that classes are done, allow me to astound you with an account of our aquatic adventure in Cozumel this February!

Let’s just cut to the chase, it was a FANTASTIC trip. Our smiles alone should tell all, but if you’d like to read more, hit the link below.

Every time I tell people about the excellent deals I bartered for during my trip to Central America I’m met with guilty excuses about people’s meek bartering skills. For some reason many of my friends and family think that bartering is an unconscionable crime. This is especially true of my friends here in Canada, where bartering isn’t prevalent because big box stores don’t usually allow it. In my opinion, there is nothing to be lost by bartering and everything to be gained. The article here at eHow.com is an excellent place to get started growing your bartering skills, but is impassionate and inhumane approach to bartering.

Actun Tunichil Mukal was absolutely my favourite part of my Mayan Adventure. I can’t believe I didn’t write a post about this while I was on my trip. Blame it on my inability to find an internet cafe in San Ignacio. That or spending too much time at a bar called Faya Wata:

It’s been a year since my trip and I’m itching to write down my last thoughts on my Mayan Adventure so I can start planning my next big undertaking. The trip spanned 22 days, 3 countries and countless adventures. Because of the unreliable internet and the fact that I didn’t bring a computer along with me, I posted relatively few of the over 1500 pictures I took over the course of the trip. In the gallery below, I’ve selected some of my favourite pictures from the trip to help supplement the writing that I did. Hit the read more link below the picture to read my final impressions and see the photo gallery.
