Dive Conditions

Had to stay with the dive guide and surface with the rest of the group.  

no camera table or rinse buckets for underwater cameras but we were able to
use the wet suit rinse hose for rinsing the cameras and dry suit valves.
They handled our cameras carefully though.  

Overall Rating

The water was chilly and we were comfortable in our dry suits. The
visibility was just as murky as in California but we saw lots of marine
creatures that are unique to this area.The dive guides were helpful with
the gear and in pointing out some critters.  However, due to the heavy boat
traffic at Land's End, we had to stay with the dive guide and surface
together.  This "herding the divers together" mentality made it
difficult for us to find and photograph the macro creatures we were looking
for.  All of the local dive boats seemed to dive at the same locations
simultaneously, resulting in crowded conditions underwater.  The dive
operators were not willing to go anywhere else that might not have been so
crowded.  One operator told us they wouldn't go to Cabo Pulmo because
"the conditons aren't good this time of year."  However, the
local dive operator at Cabo Pulmo was booked up and going out twice a
day,so we went snorkeling there.The conditions at Cabo Pulmo appeared to be
as good as those at Land's End.
