Scuba Diving Cozumel Mexico

http://www.AmazingAerialPhotos.com – April 2004 – Scuba diving in Cozumel Mexico with my best friends from Maine and we had a great time. After the trip was over I had built this video in memory of the event and when submitted to GWV Travel Magazine I managed to win first prize. While scuba diving with my Friends from Maine I managed to take this photo of Macro (Dive Guide) while swimming along side a sea turtle. Both the photo and video took the grand prize in a GWN Travel photo contest. GWV Travel Magazine.

for some extreme sports, skydiving, scuba diving etc. can anyone recommend anywhere?
or is it not really worth the extra money so should i just get a box standard travel insurance package?
cheers!

I scuba dive and go hiking and rock-climbing on many of my trips, but travel insurance plans typically list those activities as excluded from coverage, which means I could be paying the high costs if I’m injured on a trip where I’m doing those activities. There are, however, a number of travel insurance plans that do provide coverage for medical care for those activities. You can read about it here: http://www.travelinsurancereview.net/adventure-travel-insurance/ and find plans with coverage for adventure activities here: http://www.travelinsurancereview.net/travel-insurance-coverage/adventure-activities/. Note the plan limits.

I want to work abroad for a year. What is the total cost to become a PADI certified instructor?

Impossible to answer. From what level? And do you mean including living costs while you do the courses?

I would estimate that I spent about 5000-6000 GBP total on dive gear, travel costs, living costs, course material costs (manuals, slates, etc.), and course/exam/certification fees to get from being a BSAC Novice diver via BSAC Sport Diver and PADI Rescue/DM to PADI OWSI. It’s difficult to say exactly how much, because I did it over 6 years (1993-99) and 3 countries (UK, Egypt, Australia).

My first full set of dive gear (M/F/S, suit/boots/gloves, BCD, regulator+gauges, weights, knife, compass, reel+buoy) cost me about 800 GBP in 1993-6 (but that’s what student grants are for, right?). I bought a cylinder in 1997 for about 120 GBP, and a nitrox dive computer in 1999 for 900 AU$ (360 GBP in 1999).

I spent about 1200 US$ (about 800 GBP in 1998) on a Rescue Diver/DM package (including 5 weeks’ equipment rental at 10 US$ per day, because I was backpacking and hadn’t brought my own gear with me) plus food and rent.

Notwithstanding the 1000 GBP or so for the return flight to Aus, the IDC and IE alone cost me about 3000 AU$ in fees and materials (about 1200 GBP in 1999), and I’m not sure how much more went on living expenses (hostel accommodation in exchange for cleaning duties, plus food+beer costs).

So, a lot of cash — but I don’t regret any of it. It was money well spent, and I would be in a quite different position today if I had not spent it.
