Just got back from a very relaxing 6 days in La Paz (Baja California Sur), Mexico. Below is a brief trip report.
Flights: operated by AeroMexico
well, on the way down, they didnt screw anything up
but on the way back it was not as good. Connections are tight, but the staff (in Mexico, and at JFK) seem to believe that customers and service just dont go together + there must be someone in that company doing all the work 
, because the people we dealt with definitely didnt see getting to planes or destinations on time OR finding luggage (they lost) as their job 
Hotel: we stayed at La Concha. Not bad place. A bit on the pricey side for what you get (as the room is a bit small, for that kind of $$$... and with that much dive gear). More than anything else, it seems that either 1) the manager was recently hired from AeroMexico, or 2) well, I just cant think of any other reasons that people would be that laid back. The +-side, is that with minimal training, some paint (for the outside of the hotel), and some new pool/beach towels they could justify the price).
Dive Operator: Club Cantamar. I cant say enough about these people:yelclap: . Everyone, from reception to DMs and boat Captains was great! The service was top notch, and they really bent-over-backwards to make sure we had everything we needed/wanted.
Diving: well, we should have done 4-6 weeks later the viz was not great out in the blue. However, we had great dives at La Reina, La Reinitta, and Los Islotes (sea lion colony). Instead of going through it dive by dive, Ive posted a video (its the rough cut, so please bear with me, still editing the final): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEsfg-LaGWI
Conclusion: well be going back next year, in early October - definitely!
