Diving on the West Shore of Mexico

[rdmoody13]

Hey all-

I'm going to Mazatlan in mid march and I'm trying to find a place to dive.

That being said, I have had no luck finding a dive center because firstly, I can't figure out which of the 10 Mazatlan, MX's I'm going to. The only one that seemed to be in the right spot when I looked at it turned out to be a 2 day drive away...

Any idea how to go about this in a more successful fashion?


Thanks!

I can't figure out which of the 10 Mazatlan, MX's I'm going to.

Maybe, what is the airport code you're flying to.
(Example ORD=O'Hare, CZM=Cozumel, PVR=Puerto Vallarta)

I've been to Mazatlan several times. I'm not aware of any dive operators there.

Rdmoody13;

I have a feeling you may be going to the 2nd largest coastal city in Mexico.
There is diving near Deer Island there. Here are 2 dive ops: Aqua Adventures & Underworld Scuba. I do not know anything about these dive ops, other than they do exist, so diving is possible.

JMHO, but I would bring your gear with. I am sure it is no Bonaire, Coz or Great Barrier Reef. But how bad can the diving be? I dive quarries in Illinois that are terrible, so it's got to be better than that.

Go, dive & then post a trip report.

Thanks!

Heck, no gear...that makes it easier in an iffy dive location.

Then you didn't drag all that gear with, for no reason. And you don't feel bad if you leave the gear home & it turns out you could have dived.

Go & enjoy.
