I am pleased to announce that we will be going to Playa del Carmen next month but honestly wish we were going to Coz or Roatan or some place more diver oriented. This is our 6th trip to the area and our first as fully certified divers. We had plans to go to Key Largo for our first certified diver vacation but we keep going back to PDC because of the great prices. We are only paying $599 per person for 7 nights all inclusive and round trip air from Cleveland! It was too good to pass up. We are staying at Iberostar Paraiso for the second time but unfortunately, their on-site DO is Dressel and we have all heard about them. Besides their prices being 25% - 50% higher they only run single tank dives! One at 9:00 am and one at 2:00 pm. Now I love diving but I don't want it to occupy the entire day just to get in two tanks. So we are forced to go elsewhere and I know it is going to be a hassle. We are considering the above 3 DOs for 2 days, 2-tank ocean dives and 1 day, 2-tank Cenote dives. We are also planning a day trip to Coz for hopefully 3 dives. Finally, just out of convince, we might do 1 night dive at the resort with Dressel. It is not as much diving as I would like for a 7 night trip but I think all the hustle and bustle is going to be taxing alone. All of these 3 DOs are priced about the same so any info or comments on them would be greatly appreciated.
We are also considering Aqua Safari in Coz for our day trip. Any comment on them?
Thanks.
