Info on San Andreas...anyone

[export]

I will be going to San Andreas this upcoming spring and although i have been there before, I did not dive there last time. Anyone has any info, suggestions or comments ?

If I remember correctly there were a few other posts on this subject months ago. Did you use the search capability?

I am also interested in San Andres since I will be in Central America for much of Jan and Feb and would like to do a few dives there. Everything I've heard so far is that the diving is pretty awesome.

Very nice diving there and easy to get to from Toronto with a direct flight. A popular package choice is one of the Decamaron group of hotels and then choose from one of three or four dive ops. Many folks like the Aquarium/Diver's Dream hotel/dive op combo. We did the Marazul hotel and used Werner from Karibik Divers,who was great. Others stay at the San Luis hotel. Each has its good and bad points. Have a look at the Big Juice site for hotel info.

If you haven't found it have a look here under diving ops.

Great island with friendly people, good food, and good value. I'd return on a dime.
