Dive Conditions

Diving rules were very relaxed.  Divers all began the dive together, but
were allowed to dive own profiles and return to the boat at will.

Overall Rating

Diving with Dolphin Divers over a three-day period was a very relaxed and
enjoyable experience.  Owner Bruce Williams doubled as our dive master and
went out of his way to accommodate individual requests and provide both
historical information about the area as well as recommendations concerning
local restaurants. 
The dive shop is relatively new and well maintained.  Dolphin Divers joins
forces with Hotel La Pinta to offer a combination dive/ hotel package.  The
hotel suffered some heavy damage two weeks prior to our arrival at the
hands of tropical storm John, but repair work was in progress during our
stay.
Probably the most unique feature about the diving is the black coral which
can be found in abundance about the offshore islands of Coronado and Carmen
in water as shallow as 60fsw.  In addition, the reefs are teeming with a
wide variety of tropical critters inclusive of large groupers, morays,
lobsters, angels, puffers, baracuda, sea lions, etc.  On nearly every
channel crossing enroute to the near-by islands, large schools of dolphins
were sighted.  Diving is done from small boats which accommodated our party
of 6 plus the boat captain and dive master very comfortably.
