By Lee Breeze

Ever since famous oceanographer and filmmaker Jacques Cousteau revealed Cozumel's underwater beauty to the rest of the world in a 1961 documentary, Cozumel, Cancun and the Riviera Maya region have consistently ranked among the diving community's favorite destinations. What the world saw through the late Cousteau's camera lenses was a natural aquarium beyond compare, with swaying coral gardens, waves of colorful tropical fish, steep walls that fall deep into the ocean floor, sunken galleons and tunnels that seem to go on forever. With a visibility of up to 200 feet, miles of coral reefs, and water so clear that scuba divers seem to fly instead of swim, Cozumel and the Riviera Maya region attract thousands of divers per year.

Dealing With Mask Problems
By Martin Robinson

Mask skills are probably the number one issue facing anyone learning to dive, and it really should come as no surprise at all!

Ever since we were old enough to breath we have instinctively known that it is a bad thing to try breathing if our face is covered with water. That innate knowledge which we are born with to help us survive goes even deeper than that! Do you know why you gasp a breath in when you get a face full of cold water unexpectedly? If you think about it, it is a ridiculous thing to do really!

It has been identified as a birth response, to trigger our very first breath outside the womb. The cold air hits our faces triggering a huge inhale of breath, our first breath on this planet.
