who to dive with

[andrethediver]

Gianster - Scuba Mau all the way. These guys will take you to any site you request and will take good care of you. BlueXT would be my second choice.

I need to find a new dive op that caters to experienced divers. Small 6 pack. Does Maracaibo, Columbia Deep, Punta Sur Sur, Baracuda and San Juan up north on a regular basis that uses aluminum tanks. Any recommendations? Gianster

Good point on the weight of tanks... I do not see it as an advantage to carry NO ditchable weight.

There are at least a couple though:

• You can't forget your weights
• Your weights can't fall off during the dive

one shore dive off our dock at El Cantil (2 hrs 14 minutes, 24 ft. max depth http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/images/smilies/Standard Smiles/03.gif

Three of our eleven dive days were up north. Pedro loves it there if he has the right boat.

Excellent dives. Couldn't believe Barracuda had virtually no current that day.

The backyard dive was different and fun.

Sorry guys, especially to Christi and Dave. Looking back at my post it seems as I came off a bit snotty. I have had nothing but great times diving with your staff and looking forward to more diving with you. I guess I just need to learn to speak up more often although sometimes it's hard because I don't like to be a pain in the a$$. I usually just like to go with the flow.

You are/were never a pain in the a$$ and speaking up won't ever give any of us reason to think so We are here to make sure you have a great time and enjoy your dives! Looking forward to having you back! We've missed you!!!

Any recommendations? I have been diving Cozumel for about ten years twice a year. Love Christies Blue XTsea Pedro and Mago but the last two times I dove with them, the divers on the boat never wanted to do any of the mentioned dive sites (not the operators fault). I then switched to Aldora which went to all of my favorite dive sites every day but they use steel tanks that are way too heavy for me (even steel 100 with no weight). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi,

Have a look at Mantaraya and Fernando Gonzales:

history

We have been diving with Fernando for over 12 years and found him to be superb. If you want something special, just ask.

joewr...loving Cozumel and the great dives there...
