Comments Our fifth trip to Pulmo, we know what to expect. Love the fact that this is authentic old Mexico, no frills. Beautiful location! Dive operation is excellent and DM's are knowledgeable. We had one or two dives with limited viz but the rest were outstanding. We missed the whale shark-- but I added it since another group diving at the same time saw it and we watched their video. The fish ball of jacks showed up as usual, which is always a treat to watch and play with. Reefs are in ok shape.

Resort Restaurant food not as good as I recalled and did not serve fresh fish other than jack. There are other choices for dining in the village but we don't come here for the food. La Palapa was not open unfortunately, just prepping to open so food choices were limited.

We came with a group of ten so we were in three casitas and the Casa Del Mar.

Our trip was delayed by a day due to Volaris cancelling our flight. To make matters worse, airport security at the CBX would not allow us to carryon our regs, so we had to go back and check them in after much consternation, which was annoying. We have never been required to check our regs before anywhere.

Great getaway overall.
