Did "the guy" stray from his group, or the current whipped him away unexpectedly, if known? What did the rest of his group say happened, or was everyone just running around on their own? Although I'm sometimes tempted to wander around a bit on my own, the typical, "chase a cool animal"...

Sea Ventures is on our list too. I'm going to call and get details. Thanks IBJ!

Glad to hear that! La Parrilla is on our list actually. Any other restaurant recommendations are welcome, in the entire area. What are the favorite beaches on the northeast and east coasts? Where is the best shore entry snorkeling, or are boat trips to the reefs are best?

We reserved a car. Fox Rentals at the S.J. airport. Compact SUV, $32/day.

Hello ScubaBoarders! Me and my GF are spending 10days in Luqillo, via AirBnB. Already booked, so there's no changing our home base. We wanted to be close to the Yunque rainforest, and she's already been to San Juan. Also, there was a high risk warning for Dengue Fever in SJ recently so won't...

Link? I'm not finding that on the Blue Angel Resort page.

I had great experiences and dives with both Tres Pelicanos and Blue-XtSea down there. I don't think you can go wrong with either. I've heard good things about Aldora Divers as well, along with several others. There's a bunch of threads with "top dive shops in Coz" here on the board. Have fun!!

Oops, typo. I think Google uses the ITX matrix now, I need to check. I use to love ITX, but now Google is great, except it doesn't have SouthWest. You have to go to SW's own site for their fares. I'm spoiled, Denver to Cancun flights are almost always super cheap. But I do the ferry.

Don't they get huge fines from the Coz Gov. when they anchor anywhere outside designated zones?

Plug Miami and Coz into Google flight matrix. Click on the date field to pull up the nice "entire month view". Click different departure days and it will show you fares. Click the checkbox for <no stops>, although those are limited and expensive. Repeat for JFK/LaGuardia departure. My...

@Thook - Thanks so much for the thorough, detailed, and thoughtful reviews. I will avoid Allegro and ProDive for sure! Sticking with Blue~XTSea and Tres Pelicanos. <3 Might try Aldora sometime though too.

Glad he caught it in time. Where was this and what dive company were you out with?

For people who've dived both Cozumel and Tulum, what were your favorite sites off Tulum? Or do the operators just travel to the same sites on the south side of the Cozumel reefs?

Cool. I think I have Sony Movie Studio HD Platinum still in the box, but it might be many years old. I'll have to check it out, now that I have a ton of GoPro video to play with from half a dozen trips! I've never done video editing, but I have a very powerful gaming laptop that should handle...

Cool story! And props to you for doing exactly the right and ethical thing. Let us know if you ever find out.

Yep, just like a dog with a flea, lol. Love 'em too. Especially the groups that follow you around on almost every Belize dive I went on. They live divers, probably because the DM's always feed them speared Lionfish.

Nice, thanks for sharing! What's your new software?

Yeah, that's my idea, just two main activities, Mag Bay whales and Cabo dives, maybe two boat trips. And not going to do any expensive "eco camps", talk about a racket. How difficult is it to rent a car? Pretty simple? I assume it's all cash-only everywhere, at least in my experience that's...

Guess I'll be the exception here. Sorry for the novella, but I tried to include all the details, hopefully convince anyone on the fence that it's worth the steep price. I can now say I've done three of the bigger "Whale Shark" dive spots in the Western Hemi. Belize (Gladden Spit), Isla...

I'm in the preliminary stages of planning a late February trip to Baja, where I've never been. I've done Coz and Belize, but never the West side. A perfect trip would be a few days diving the best spots off Cabo and a few days whale watching on Mag Bay, getting a hotel in Puerto San Carlos, or...
