    What Dive Op services the Cruise Ships?

    Headed out for a Panama canal cruise on Princess and have booked a couple of dives in Puerto Vallarta. Does anyone know which dive operator is the contractor for Princess?

    Thanks

    If you dive in Cabo San Lucas try Lands end divers, they are very good.

    RossandMaureen- the cruise dive operators charge more as a rule and have a set package,

    to answer your question," no, I do not know", but PVSCUBA on this board seems to have a good reputation and most of the independant ops have never left a diver stranded in PV.

    Who said Puerto Vallarta is not a dive destination? has perfect places to dive, and the cruise arrives to PV usually at 9, Vallarta Undersea has departures from a dock located just at 5 minutes from the cruise and charge a lot less than the ship. Try Los arcos at the devils canion or Chimo (my favorite) check out the vis in PV.

    Yes you're right, but they are located at 20 or 30 minutes from the dock, and they usually use big boats and going out with crowds. Let me recommend some operations who share the same philosophy "no crowds" and are located on the same area just at 5 minutes from the cruise ships.

    Vallarta Undersea, Pacific Scuba, PV Scuba and Twin Dolphins.

    Trust me, is lot better when you go out to dive with divers and not with dronk people.
