Diver Down! Bruce had sinus troubles the first few days, so Ali went to Las Marietas islands without him. Chico's dive shop has good equipment and great dive masters and captains. On the other hand, Bruce and I had a terrible time with Vallarta Adventure, and Explora Adventours. We booked their tour for Caletas by Day, and basically got screwed by them. The tours pick you up at various places and take you to the tour. We waited for them, called them, were assured that the bus would be there in a couple of minutes, waited some more, called again, couldn't get through, waited more again, called again and were told "Oh, well, the boat's already left." Then we had to go all the way downtown to get our refund!! Don't deal with this company if you visit PV! After one beautiful dive at Marietas Islands. Saw Giant Green Morays, Zebra Morays, Bat Rays, and Gold Spotted Eels. Las Marietas Islands are rugged and carved. They reminded me of the Channel Islands off Southern California. The boat could pull right up to the walls, which went to a depth of 25 to 40 feet. This Giant Green Moray Eel was very cool. It was several feet long. I saw some others later that were out of their holes, too. Rob with a puffer fish, all puffed up. This Zebra Eel was a foot or two long. Really beautiful. From left to right: Alisandra, Chloe, Mall, Rob, Kevin (I think). This was a cool little boat for diving. There were only five divers on the tour. Perfect. Our Dive Master was Richard and the boat Captain was Cosell. Kevin and Mal are from England, Chloe is from France, and Rob is from Canada. This page is still under construction. I'm hoping to get some underwater shots from the dive. Check back soon. Back to our Puerto Vallarta vacation page. June 22, 1998 on a Macintosh by Alisandra. Want to email me?
