I'm planning on driving down Baja and doing shore diving as many places as I can, including Punta Arena. There is very little information about shore diving this area online, but based on the vast amount of information from "van lifers" online, it seems like leaving a vehicle unattended for an hour of diving might be risky. Beyond the obvious like taking your cash and cards with you underwater, and leaving other valuables in your room, any other thoughts or advice on this? Any good or bad areas to check out or avoid?
I'm generally not biased against Mexico, I've had only good experiences there, from Cozumel, Mexico City, Alamos, San Carlos, Mexicali, San Felipe -- but this will be my first time south of San Felipe in Baja. I've also only done shore diving in San Carlos, so limited experience leaving my car alone while diving. I've actually had more car theft on the US side of Mexico border than the Mexico side (Tucson, Calexico, Imperial Valley, Phoenix, El Paso).
