whirlybird3 Posted May 26, 2008 #1 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Has anyone dove in the Mexican Riviera? Ports: Cobo San Lucas, Mazatlan, and Puerto Vallarta. How cold is the water? How is the visibility? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCUBA Mark Posted May 29, 2008 #2 Share Posted May 29, 2008 I dove last October in PV and Cabo. Water temp was about 84. Vis in PV was about 40 ft, Cabo was 80 ft. Cabo was the better dives. Saw lots of starfish, scorpion fish, sardines, and seals. Even saw a seahorse Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tootsiescurly Posted May 29, 2008 #3 Share Posted May 29, 2008 You can dive in Puerto Vallarta and Cabo. No diving in Mazatlan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpudLand Posted June 5, 2008 #4 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I dove on a Carnival Pride excursion in Puerto Vallarta (late November 2005). A 100 yard walk from the ship to the dive boat. Well organized but large group (40-50 guests on the boat) broke into dive groups of 6-8 per dive master. Equipment was average. 40 minute boat trip to large uninhabited island off shore. Lots of fish but they had chumed the water so not real natural. Visability was ok. Rock formations with some coral. 2nd diive was in 25 feet with sandy bottom and lots of other snorkling excursions close by. Sorry, I do not remember the dive company name or dive location name.

dabear Posted June 6, 2008 #6 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Caution: the water temperatures quoted were for the summer. The water is very cool in Cabo in the winter. It's warm enough to dive in PV, but I didn't think it was a very good dive. They took us to the arch (los altos?) and it was crowed with many scuba and snorklers.
