My wife and I go to PV on a regular basis and would love to know where you were diving. We would love to go there.

Thanks. I just did some calculating on an actual calculator and 70 pesos is actually closer to $5.55 so it was still under 12 bucks for the two of us.
It was delicious! Grilled, soaked in garlic butter with a nice squeeze of lime - MMMMM Yum!

These particular dives were at Mariatas (northern bay) & Las Caletas/Mahawitas area (mid/southern bay). In the winter those spots are often a lower visibility. As I mentioned previously the best diving is from June through the end of Sept. You would think it would be murky in the summer from the rain washing so much mud down from the mountains but it is the opposite. My favorite dive spots are El Moro (north) & Chimo (south) but it is often hard to get enough advanced divers together for a trip out to those sites because they are further out and not for novice divers. When I go back in Aug with dive buddies we will be going to those spots for sure. There is some awesome diving further north out of the bay as well but I forget the name of the place. Also further north up by San Blas there are whale sharks which would be a very cool dive. If/when I buy this dive shop in PV I would get a live aboard boat for those kind of trips.

If you have any questions just shoot me a PM.

There are some very large Kings out there & they really seem to like eating banana. That said, I have never been able to get the angels I've had to eat more than a tiny nibble of it though.

My local dive buddy Lorenzo caught himself dinner. He has quick hands & grabbed this trigger by the tail and carried it around for the approximately 20 minutes we had remaining on that dive. He says they're good eating.


Pocillopora colony


Encrusting coral


another Nudibranch - looks like it likes to eat fans


reef point jutting out for a cool silhouette shot


Gorg & Sponge


I thought the way the light was shining rather ghostly made for a cool shot.


A splash of color that I think looks cool even though much of it's a little out of focus


Stubby red & purple NPS gorgs - not sure what they orange spotted thing is.
I only noticed it in the picture but missed it while actually diving. (I wasn't wearing my bifocal mask)


Arrow crab (if you look close you see a lot of these in this area)

Unfortuanately my picture of the adult drum fish was too blurry to post but they look cooler as juveniles.
Thnaks.
