Diving in Manzanillo

[snowdiver]

We are heading to Manzanillo in just over a week for a wedding and plan to squeeze in as much diving as we can between group events. I have searched for any posts on diving in Manzanillo and there aren't many recent posts. We are staying at Karmina Palace. I see there is a dive operator on site but it isn't clearly marked as being a Padi or any other type of endorsed shop. (Neptunes). Any feedback on them? Good or bad - would love to hear it....

Thanks

We're heading the this morning, same resort.
I've booked our diving with http://www.divemanzanillo.com/
I contacted the dive operator on site but the dives were a set time, the other operator was until your air or NDL was up.

Yes we dove with http://www.divemanzanillo.com/. They will pick you up if your at any local hotel.
I made a video for some people we met on the dive boat, it will give you an idea of the diving http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfJqB_LwEUA

The viz was 20 to 30 feet max. All the diving was at the base of cliffs so mainly diving around huge rocks. We had a lot of ocean surge but once you get used to it there's no problem.
If you need anymore answers contact me at dewiz555@hotmail dot com
