9 hours in PDC

[divebag]

I will be arriving in PDC at 7:45a (from Cozumel ferry) and will have to depart PDC at 5:00p. Any recomendations on arranging a one tank morning Cenote (dos ojos? or other) and then an afternoon ocean dive? Is there time to do both?

 

[DocVikingo]

Probably not time for both as cenote trips (which are typically 2-dive packages) involving the COZ<-->PDC ferry pretty much chew up a whole day.

Many of the dive ops on Coz can set the whole thing up or you. Check with Blue XT Sea http://bluextseadiving.com/ (tell Christi that I sent you), Deep Blue http://www.deepbluecozumel.com/ (tell Debbie that I sent you) or Liquid Blue http://www.liquidbluedivers.com/indexx.html (tell Michaela that I sent you).

Have fun.

Thanks Doc

I'll try those operators and see what they have. Do you have any "must do" cenotes to recommend?

 

[DocVikingo]

Be aware that the dive op likely will have the sites scheduled before you arrive based on such factors as where they've been that week, where divers who have already been diving with them several days want to go, how crowded the sites may be, etc.

It's like boat diving. One can't go out for a single day of diving & expect to have more than minimal control over the specific sites visited.

In case you get lucky, Dos Ojos, Car Wash, Temple of Doom, Taj Mahal are all nice.

Best regards.

I've been to Choc Mal, Tajmahal, and Dos Ojos. I liked Tajmahal the best, maybe because it was the first. I used a company called SealifeDivers in PDC. An excellent operation that would set you up. They also are a smaller shop and may be more receptive to specific sites.
