Playa Pariaiso

[nhaone]

Hola!
Retuned this month from Scuba Club Cozumel where I did my certificaion dives. They were awesome!
January going to Playa Paraiso, Iberostar Paraiso Del Mar. I have read mixed reviews about their dive shop/op. I am looking for some diving with a safe and reputable dive operator since this will be my 2nd dive after certification and safety is really important to me.
Any suggestions/recommendations for selecting a dive operator?
PS I did suffer sea sickness on last dive off of boat, and have only done giant stride off back of boat.
Thanks in advance

Hola nhaone,

As with Iberostars worldwide, the onsite op is Dressel Divers. They have a reputation as large, regimented ops who cater to relatively inexperienced divers. Of course all ops have a bad day or dissatisfied customer from time to time, but they are regarded as generally safe and reliable.

You also may wish to check out Thank Ha (http://www.tankha.com/) and Cyan Ha (http://www.cyanha.com/), both long-established PDC ops with good safety records.

Season's greetings.
