Phew, eh? Not good though. Hope you enjoy the diving and can relax now.

The solution to me is simple don't dive there, I know it has some things that are somewhat Unique but still. Easier for me to say when I can land in Indonesia after an 8 hour flight compared to 14 hours to the US and connecting down a welcome like that.

I get that :). For us Cozumel is an easy day trip away with plenty of time for happy hour. Been coming here my entire life ;).

I have never done the bag drag from Cancun. Been over there and to the Cenotes a few times. A friend had his camera rig stolen on the ferry. I never let my equipment out of sight on the ferry or anywhere for that matter, just asking for it.

Cozumel is friendly and easy, it is just they never used to ask anything about cameras and now the last two times and this time was asked! So, not sure if the "infection' will spread over here. Cozumel is a little different and maybe it will remain free of such foolishness, just do not bring two high end camera rigs that look expensive.

That red button lottery, who knows! The unknown is the fret.
