it is so unfortunate that people like PROMOCOP use this forum, SCUBA DIVING FORUM!!!! to express they POV on issues other than SCUBA DIVING and in this case and thread Puerto Vallarta diving conditions, recommendations and the likes.
On the other hand to generalize that all Mexico is not safe will be like saying that we should not go to LA because the gangs they have there, yes they have killings all the weeks, and what about Miami? Again drug related, and what about NY? and what about Detroit?
Or using the same logic used by PROMOCOP then you should not send your kids to the school in the US because there are shootings in the schools, and there are shootings at Universities, are those unfortunate shootings a sign that going to the University is not safe, going to a highschool is not safe? Does that mean that the US government is not in control?
Yes, Mexico as a country we are having a hard time with druglords, and yes there are some places were you will find trouble but you can not say that the whole country is under gunfire (ironically must of the guns used by drug cartels come from the US, and 90% of the drug trade that cause all these unfortunate situation is going to the US, consumption that by the way keeps increasing!) is like saying that all americans are drug consumers when is not like that, like in all countries there are good people and bad people, in my experience divers from wherever the country are mostly very nice people!
An you should also listen to your own homeland security statements to the US Senate last week saying that there is a big issue with US border patrol and US customs agents being corrupt why? because they are humans and like easy money like in the rest of the world
It is not a matter of nationalities or even countries is a matter of human values no matter of citizenship, if only more people could find excitement in diving as must of us the participants in SB do, then the less dependency on drugs across the world.
Lets keep this thread about exciting diving in Vallarta and forget about all the bad news across the world.
