well i guess it would depend what time of year you are coming. playa del carmen is great in the summer as we have large schools of tarpon, the turtles are always here, the whalesharks can been seen via snorkeling to the north and then of course you will have the experience of a life time in the...

Nice to here you are venturing to the other side! Steel tanks can be a tough one as most if not all shops use aluminum tanks. It is mostly for the humidity, aluminum is much easier to care for and is less weight on the boats. Due to cenotes having fresh water, you need less weight anyway...

And remember the Divers BBq every Saturday night. Great place to hang out and see what other people are doing. 100 pesos for all you can eat (8.50 usd) and sometimes Protec does a slide show of dive pictures.

Cenote Dive Center out of tulum is a great scuba op to dive with, with over 13 years experience in tulum. It is owned by the Abyss Dive Center in Playa and they also do a great job. If you can end up diving all up and down the coast and in the cenotes, then you will have a great scuba trip!

Great Advise from you both. Equipment rental runs about 15 usd per day so if you times that by 6 days of diving it is better to bring your gear. The Abyss currently has a 10% off special for diving and if you do a package with them you will continue to get significant discounts. They are...

The federal Government is tracking and monitoring the whaleshark tours closely. They are worried that if we disturb their waters, as we are guests, then they may not come back. For years there have been check points that all tour boats have to register with to have their boats checked. All...

Many years ago the dive centers used to do a two day trip to avoid a 330 am pickup to get to holbox. I have to say it was a great way to go as holbox is beautiful but this did not go over well with visitors who were here for 5 or 7 day holidays. Now all dive centers run their trips out of...

No i meant two day as many years ago the trips were a two day trip with an overnight in holbbox. This avoided the 4 am pick up so that people could get to holbox by 7 am to get the boat to the whaleshark site in the gulf. The two day trip just made it more palatable. The trips are now running...

The pick up information is correct and boutique dive centers that are not in the resorts are not allowed to pick up. I always recommend, Abyss Dive Center, and Tank Ha Dive Center for recreational diving. Abyss has a great slogan, Safety, Diversity, FUn and Tank Ha caters to alot of the...

Many of the boutique dive centers in PDC have this type of service. I always recommend Abyss Dive Center, Tank Ha Dive Center for recreational diving and Protec Dive Center for tech and cave diving. They are all quality centers that give great personal service.

Great photos and thanks for posting. There is rumor that there may be photo contest here in PDC in December 2009 will keep you posted once I have the information

It is super unfortunate that people are staying away from Mexico due to the international media reports. The ocean is calm, the diving is abundant and prices are super low right now. PDC has turtles, tarpons and whalesharks in Holbox. Mexico City is a 24 hour drive away, Cuidad de...

most restaurants in the Riviera Maya know that visitors do not want to get sick. there is an antibacterial liquid used to cut out all the stuff that may effect people. Also everyone is different. Some people have weak stomachs, some have stomachs of steal. It is case dependant

Okay, this is what really goes on with the whaleshark tours from PDC. All dive centers, unless they are state they are doing a two day trip to Holbox, provide a private van for their customers that takes them up to Cancun. This takes about an hour and you go to a marine area that is used by...
