As a new diver I was really excited to hear that my grandparents are taking the entire family to Cancun next year for their anniversary. However, the other day I had some friends visit, and I told them about my diving. I was surprised to hear that they had gone scuba diving in Cancun. When I ask them how their experience was, they said awful; They had no sort of training. They were just given scuba gear and told to go in the water. They said the worst part was the constant taste of rubber, and they also said that their regulators where really hard to breath from. Originally I was going to rent a regulator, but after they told me this I'm not so sure. Have you had similar experiences? What do you recommend?
