Oh, man, I TOTALLY disagree. No, it's not like shore diving at Bonaire and some other places, but the clarity of the water and the abundance of small stuff if you really go slow and look for it is awesome, if you are at one of the places that make it easy, like Scuba Club, Blue Angel, and others. I would definitely not call it 2 or 2.5, I have spent more than a few hours just being still and watching amazing things off Scuba Club. Lately I have stayed in town to enjoy San Miguel, and I do miss those lazy afternoon and evening shore dives a lot!
