Last November I had a great Mako shark encounter in the Sea of Cortez off Cabo San Lucas. As it was my only day out on the ocean I did not expect to get enough footage for a video so I planned only to take pictures. As it turned out that Mako shark stayed around for 2 hours so in the end I took...

Does anyone have more info than in the article below? Mexico creates huge marine national park

Hi all, I'm headed to Cabo san lucas to dive and also want to hit La Paz. Does anyone have any dive shop recommendations? In researching it looks like Cortez Expeditions and Phocea Mexico are good options. Has anyone been with either of these, particularly Phocea Mexico? I think they are...

My wife and I dove Yelapa yesterday and were lucky enough to have a close encounter with some Manta Rays. They were amazing, and we were close enough that we could have reached out and touched them (we did not). Amazing dive, couldn't believe it turned around and came back through us. We were...

Greetings! I am a PhD student working on the California Horn Shark (Heterodontus francisci). I'd like to plan a trip to Mexico, but haven't been diving there before. Those of you who have been diving off the Baja Peninsula: do you have any recommendations for sites where I might find these...

Hi all- Some friends and I are looking at a Cozumel trip in February. I'd love to dive some cenotes while I'm there if possible. I'm an expert diver with a decent amount of overhead environment experience including wreck penetration, but my friends don't have this. Since it may be relevant in...

Hi, here on Gran Canaria/Spain, there isn't much Tec Diving. The only courses offered in English/German are Advanced Nitrox/Deco Procedures by ProTec, which holds a direct CMAS license (in comparison to being a local club like VDST in Germany or USOA in the US). And there's only one dive center...

Hi, I'm going to Latin America in a month and was wondering where to dive there. We pass St Maarten, Aruba and Curaçao on the way to Panama, so I'll definitely go diving in each of those. From Panama City I'm open to fly anywhere for about a week. Since we dive a lot in the ocean here on Gran...

Hello friends! I am planning a 3 months diving and sight seeing trip to central america. I am planning to start in Mexico Can you reccomend me on good diving places to visit? Maybe help me build the trip (where and for how long to be at each place) I admit that I don't find a lot of...

Recently we explored a new cenote called "La Orquidea" which gathers the perfect characteristics for an awesome cavern dive: daylights effects, tannic acid, speleothems, marine fossils, hydrogen sulfide layer. Maximum depth 40 meters/130 feets. This Cenote will be open soon to the public. It...

Hi all. I have 24 to make a difficult decision!! I have vacation time in November after a hard year, and want to go with my wife to either Galapagos or Socorro. I'm pre booked on two live aboards, and have 24 hours to choose one. I would like to go to Galapagos maximizing the chance to see the...

My girlfriend and I are planning to stay for about 2 weeks in the area of Playa del Carmen, Tulum or Cozumel end of September / early October. We know its hurricane season but were lucky all 3 years before while staying in Dominican Republic. Anybody been there during that time? What weather...

Hello! Was wondering if anyone could advise whether May/June on either coast of Mexico offered an optimal opportunity to see certain marine life? I think we've missed the window for sailfish bait ball off Isla Mujeres, and it's too early for sea lion pups in La Paz. Anyone have any advice...

Hey fellow divers! My name's Dylan,I'm a scuba instructor, formerly based out of the Florida Keys and am now down in Xcalak, a small secluded town located at the southern most point of the Mexican Caribbean and loving every minute! The Costa De Cocos resort has recently given me the opportunity...

Hi all - I just booked my first trip to Cozumel and could not be more excited. After reading the threads here I'll be diving with Tres Pelicanos for 5 days and staying at the Amaranto Bed and Breakfast. The pork shank at Cielito Lindo is already on my list for a must eat, but what else...

Hello everyone, Well, it's a while since I've been here taking about diving. In fact, it's a while since I last talked about diving. I was least in the ocean around seven years ago, though I have done a fair bit of pool stuff (teaching seal club, to keep my skills from getting too rusty). I...
