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?
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.
Thats right the Cruise ship will charge you $135.00 for a two tank Dive.The Diving in P.V. is not very good.If you can Dive Cabo San Lucas lots more to see.Contact Baja Dive to book a great trip. use this button Home
Who said Puerto Vallarta is not a dive destination? has perfect places to dive, and the cruise arrives to PV usually at 9, Vallarta Underseahas 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.
chicos dive shop have been en PV for many years, in Cabo go and dive with Land´s End Divers, they are located 5 walking minutes from where you will docking at the Tesoro los Cabos next to solomon´s Landing resturant on the marina.
Ask for Carlos.
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.
