I talked to Memo from Aldora and he alluded to something that sounds like this but I did not understand what happened. I noticed rainy type conditions on the Scuba Club webcam mid morning. Was it a freak squall? Unusual high winds? High seas (waves)? Most dive sites are swimmable if forced to but I would certainly want a life jacket/BC to minimize fatigue. Can I assume that everyone survived the event?

N4S - All of my Puerto Marqués comments are for TheFriendlyGiant (page one of this thread), who's staying at the Mayan & vacationing on a tight budget. Nothing to do with the cruise terminal; that's someone else altogether. Obviously PDLC 'from the cruise terminal' is the better choice of the two places; that's a no-brainer.

Cancun is MUCH MUCH different than cuba. That would just insult them I think so just take some pesos or US money.

I think I am actually in the middle on this topic, after reading this blog. 'The Scuba Police' undercurrent.org/blog/… That gives food for thought from the other end of the spectrum! :) "I'm cold, so everybody put on a sweater." LOL Edited: 11:04 pm, yesterday

Pauline and Bellasogno - excellent posts. I know several very experienced divers and all of them are vehemently against the whole idea of these quickie "learn to dive in 5 minutes" sort of things that people take on vacation.

As noted by several others, get...

www.puertovallartatours.net is a ticket re-seller, not a true tour company. For example to go whale watching, you can go direct to the tour companies that do that, such as http://ecotoursvallarta.com/ and http://www.vallartawhales.com/ Edited: 8:36 pm, November 24, 2009

The same one..they make a continuous loop..The R-2 will work too.

I probably would not have made it over to PM if it not for my fishing trip with Hank. I have to say on the day I went the area looked rather clean and I went there expecting the worse so perhaps that made it easier to deal with. . I will say Steve is right more then 3 seconds in those bathrooms is insane but Purell put me at ease. The captain of our craft (lol) also owned the beachfront restaurant/shack Mar Y Cielo and they served up a feast...

Sounds good to me. The clincher might be if they require a prepayment. Sounded at first that they wanted a prepayment for 15 people. If that is it, then it will be difficult to commit. If we can just go and pay as we get there, it's great.
