Cancun

I've been to Cancun about 5 times. Its a great place to party. I like going to Cancun with a big group of people. The size of the place has exploded in the past 15 years.

I second tbrown's advice. I made the Aqua World -- Cancun mistake once. I actually stayed at Iberostar at PDC where Dressel is based this past year. I could see the dive shop from my room. The DMs seemed friendly enough. Their prices were ridiculous. They were twice as expensive as any other shop. Although they sure were convenient for the resort guests. I didn't dive with them though.

I don't think you will find real interesting dive locations around cancun. You can, however, dive the cenotes -- which I consider some of the best diving down there. Take a day trip down to Cozumel for a couple dives if you have the time.

You may want to check out the Mexico forum on the scubaboard.com website for information about dive operators and locations. You can get very current information from that site.
