SurfDog, I went to the Wrinkles dive for the first time two months ago and had a blast. I did'nt know anyone, yet, I felt right at home. I'll be at the next one, hope to see you there.

Kevin,
I just started this new thread for diving on Memorial Day Weekend, so maybe you can meet some of us this weekend! I linked it in this paragraph, so you don't have to hunt it down.

I have always used the services of the pangas. I mean, why miss the excitement of being pushed into the water by a pickup truck, and then the whole backroll thing?? Ask Ana, she loved it
!! But if there is good shore diving I would be up for that if there was an appropriate entry/exit point...jennifer

I was in Kona for a week last October. The Manta dives were AWESOME!!! However, I got bored after the third day of diving...same ol' coral, same fish, pretty much the same structures.
Airfare is not cheap. Don't forget all of the taxes, gasoline tax, ect, ect, ect. I paid almost $600 after all of that.
If I go back to Kona, it will be on the Aggressor. I would be up to checking out the other Islands such as Maui or Lanai. I hear the Pinnacles at Lanai are wonderful!
Sounds like fun. But the budget it tight and the wife hates hot weather and would be bored, and she sure is not going to let me go alone.
Now Monterey, that I could do. Great diving up there and a beautiful aquarium too. The dive up the coast is very nice. To dive Monetary beach, and survive, that would be neat. I have dove there a few times, and had fun every time.

Cabo Pulmo is cool. Diving is excellent, town is quaint. Its very remote. Is laid back to the point of inert. I would become a serial killer if I had to stay there for a week.
The Panga launch on the pebbly beach is always fun (wear your scuba booties...) and the drift diving is cool. But after 10 minutes into a 50 minute dive, you start seeing the same types of fish over and over... its nice and colorful, but just not real exciting.
Staying at the Ranch, or at Punta Colorada, or one of the other fishing spots and commuting to CP for diving for a couple of days is a better idea. If you're on the Sea of Cortez you have to be fishing, too - not just diving. Its a good dive spot, but its a world class fishery. The Kayak fishing there just rules.
I'm wif Mel on this one. A long weekend in Monterey is great. Excellent restaurants, great wine, supurb diving. Mixing in some refinement into a long weekend is nice. I'd like that much more than a week in CP. We go for a long weekend each November - its always excellent.
