Dive Review of
Baja Diving andService/Club Cantamar in
Mexico (Western)/La Paz

Pacific Northwest, Cozumel, florida, Fiji, California

Dive Conditions

Maximim dive time of 50 minutes - sort of enforced
Suggested no deco dives  

The boat had a dry area in the cabin where cameras could be opened without
fear of water splashing into them. There were also two rinse buckets on
board.  

Overall Rating

The resort was real nice and the people were very friendly. My wife and I
got the "Full fair" meal package, which means 3 meals a day with
juice, water or coffee to drink. Carbonated and alcoholic beverages were
extra. The food was good and plentiful. The downside of this resort is
first, it is located across the street from the main ferry terminal from
Mazatlan. There were always many trucks moving in and out of the area 24
hours a day. Also, there is a waste treatment facility not too far away and
some people who were in the building on the roadside of the resort were
complaining about that. We were in the building farthest from the road
(Next to the swimming pool) and were not bothered by the truck noise or the
bad odor.

The diving tended to be shallower reefs in less than 60fsw for the most
part. When we told them we were interested in more challenging dives they
were accommodating.

I went to La Paz to see hammerheads, whale sharks and manta rays and I came
home having all three. The Mantas are getting very sparse (Their words, not
mine) due to over fishing as are the hammerheads. Both whale sharks I saw
were fairly small  - one being about 12 feet and the other 15 feet. The
manta we saw was about 8 or 9 feet tip to tip.

Will I go back? Definitely!
