Third trip on Solmar V and will go again. Crew was excellent. Dive Masters quickly became friends and made trip a great one. Food was good and plentiful. If you wanted something, all you had to do was ask. Rooms are not large but adequate if you don't bring a ton of clothes. Nominally 4 day dives a day and three night dives during trip. Water was warm and had a 3mm wetsuit and a 1mm would have worked better. Vizibility varied but was only marginal on the fourth dive one day. Fish life was great. Must be the Porcupine Puffer Fish capital of the world. Saw many on every dive, sometimes in schools of 30 or more. Plentiful other species in pairs and schools. Rivals any I have seen in Carribean. Dive sites ranged from north of La Paz to just north of Cabo San Lucas.[None] |
