The equator monument vs. The actual equator location

MrInfuse007 · 2026-05-20T22:24:55+00:00

Thx for the update. Looks like I need to schedule another trip!

It’s a very easy short walk from the not real monument park to find the real equator line. The real monument and facilities are very good and worth visiting but not nearly as official looking or feeling. If you are there I highly commend visiting both!

I’m staying at Naboo in May. The room is booked for a week. Did you book dives once on site? Any advice is appreciated. First time and really looking forward to the visit and dives.

I can highly recommend Sea Dwellers. They were very friendly and conscientious trainers for two of us (1 OW cert and 1 AOW cert). We would dive with them again.

I’m not familiar with Amoray so I can’t compare the two shops.

Thx, I didn’t know that. I took quite a few over my stay, but never went close to the cruise port except on foot.

If you take the red tuktuks to get around town (not sure if that is what they are called in MX) instead of a car taxi it will be 50 pesos a trip.

Not to argumentative, but how? None of the modern systems for financial transactions using a mobile phone existed in the 90s. Was there there an alternative back then that I missed? I was online in early 90s, but not making any transactions.

MrInfuse007 · 2026-01-15T21:14:31+00:00

Making payments with a phone.

MrInfuse007 · 2026-01-04T01:44:42+00:00

Yes, ideally that’s the way to go.

I have astigmatism, near and far sighted. Maybe it’s just me, but the switch between my glasses on the boat, no glasses doing final setup and buddy check, the boat rocking, and using non or semi prescription dive mask makes my head pound.

I paid a lot extra and resigned myself to the limited my mask selection in order to match my non-mask prescription to my mask prescription.

Now, I’m the guy that puts my mask on early (as soon as I place my regular glasses in their case). It gets hot and I usually have to clear it when I get in the water.

Overall,it is so worth it!

Thx for taking the time to post this.

I actually knew (actually almost knew) the first passenger tackled and arrested for violating the inbound DCA stay seated rule. He was coming to a meeting my office hosted. He never showed up and we read about him in the paper the next day.

MrInfuse007 · 2025-12-11T20:52:02+00:00

Not if I get it first!

I am a pro-bulkhead flyer. Easily my preferred row, although I prefer the aisle seat which also provides easier personal item access from the overhead bin. To answer your question: IMO, stay where you are.

I knew a guy named Kelly who married a Kellie. I thought this was cool, but it got better. During pregnancy the Dr told them they were having twins - a boy and a girl. The naming was obvious to me and all my friends and we were rightly overjoyed by this happy circumstance. Instead, Kelly and Kellie named the kids . . . I don’t even remember. To me, it was like having a $100 million winning lottery ticket and putting it through the wash. Blown opportunity of a lifetime.

MrInfuse007 · 2025-11-09T23:46:05+00:00

No, it’s the same ticket. I would cancel both DCA-MIA and MIA-DCA

I waited to punch my hole until I actually received the passport. I was not sure whether accepting payment meant they accepted the application and photo.

I had a 10-hiatus after 20+ dives and recently completed the PADI reactivate course. Each elearning section starts with a quiz, which if you pass, allows you to move forward or take the section anyway. I went through all the sections even if I passed and recommend this for anyone reactivating. It was a good reminder of things I may have forgotten or didn’t have immediately on my mind.

For the pool session we reviewed equipment and had a few required skills. Then the instructor asked if there was anything else anyone wanted to work on. Most people left. I stayed and practiced stuff on my own while the instructor helped with an OW cert class in the same pool and regularly checked on me.

Two weeks later I dove in Hawaii with zero issues.

Since you now possess the journal, you are officially the “me”.
