    Advantages Advantages Diverse, exciting diving

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    I recently returned from diving in La Paz, West Mexico. La Paz is a town with a population of about 200,000 and is located on the coast of the Sea of Cortez. I dived with The Cortez Club (who are excellent) and who are one of only a few dive centres in the area. Having gone in October I was there just as the high season is about to end. Most of the divers are American and tend to go down for long weekends, while for the Brits you really need to consider about ten nights just because of the length of journey on the plane (about 14 hours with a stop in LA). I paid alot overall for the whole trip ... more

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Mexico is not exactly next door to Britain!

My next scuba dive was also in a pool, while I was working as a lifeguard. We used to use scuba equipment to clean the pool to save having to come up for air!!! But then I went to Mexico for my honeymoon ... more

    I did my open water course in May 04. I was staying in the Fiesta Palladium grand resort and spa which had a dive shop in it's grounds. I decided to give it a try and signed up for the beginners course, just half a day from classroom to sea. The dive site its self was part of the mezo american reef which runs from cozumel down to honduras. the viz on my first dive was about 30m and the dive site itself (umberella reef) was absolutly spectacular. There were barrel sponges, sea fans, staghorn coral, all varieties and colours of soft coral, all at only 12m. We saw southern ray, baraccuda, trumpet ... more
