My wife and I have just booked a week in Playacar, we're flying out on 14th Sept. Although we are both divers we're not planning on spending the whole week diving, just a couple of days She's not interested in diving cenotes so it's going to be sea dives. We have no plans to dive Cozumel, although I understand the sites are better. So, I have some questions:
Which dive centre to use - there's one at the hotel but it's more expensive than most of the ones in PDC, and it's a hotel based dive centre... We're both fairly experienced and would like to do more than tear around after a dive guide for 25 minutes.
Are there any must do sites, or are they all much the same?
Money. I'm planning on taking some US$ to pay for the diving, but will need some pesos too I suppose. Should I take them with me, or am I better off using ATMs when I get there?
Anywhere non-diving that you would recommend. I'm thinking about hiring a car one day and exploring a bit.
Any other advice for a newbie to Mexico.
Thanks in advance
