Twin Dolphins Dive Center, Educacion

Giovanni Macedo may not have the most well known dive shop in Puerto Vallarta, but what he has is a gem. His crews are knowledgeable, fun-loving, and attentive to each diver's needs. The boats and equipment are excellent. The tours are no frills and you won't be teated to "all you can drink" partying, but they are a real value. Lunch is simply sandwiches, soft drinks, and chips. If you are adventurous, the crew will share a more Mexican menu including hot peepers that will knock your fins off! It is filling and more than suffices. You will probably get more than you hoped for. On a Sunday, two tank dive tour, we happened to see a lot of whale watching boats in the distance and headed over to check it out. We were rewarded with a pod of about 25 to 30 whales which we watched before going on to our dive site(s). We also saw dolphins and sea turtles. We were a little longer than planned for, but no one complained. Another trip, I took along a girlfriend who had never dove or even snorkeled. She was so enthused that she had to go on my next trip and vows to learn to scuba dive! The only drawback is that the water visibility is not the clearest like the Carribean. But that is true throughout the area and certainly no fault of Twin Dolphins. If you are looking for scuba diving or snorkeling with the best crews and great boats, call Twin Dolphins for one of the best deals diving in Vallarta.
