Going to Playa del Carmen in Nov.
Looking for a dive operator recommendation

No experience in PDC, but Manta Diving in Cancun was great.

My wife and I will be in PDC end of Nov into Dec. I've been corresponding with Jason @ fantaseadive (playacountryboy on this board - fantaseadive.com)

From his communication, to the rep he's got from people who have been with him I feel very confident that I'll be having a wonderful experience. His videos are awesome too!

Where are you staying? We'll be at Riu Palace and while the people at the dive shop there answered all my questions too I couldn't find any feedback about them. I'm sure I'll post a review of my experience when I get back!

I'll be in PDC from Nov 6th until the 11th and have arranged dives with Jason at fantaseadive as well. Two dives in PDC, a Coz dive, and cenotes. Can't wait! I'll report back here on my return.

And to add to the list.... I'll be with Jason and FantaseaDive Nov 26-30th. I dived (dove?) with him in October as well, and booked again as soon as I got back!

I'll be PDC over Thanksgiven (Nov 21 - 28). Yes, please post back - love to hear everybodies comments. We're staying at the Grand Sirenis and am planning on doing most of our diving with the resort dive shop (Aqua-Inn). But, am interested in other options as well.

The dive shop at Riu Palace Riviera Maya (ScubaCaribe) were very helpful with the questions I was asking them about stuff but I couldn't find any feedback on them and the things I could find about resort run shops were that they typically took out a LOT of people at once. Jason at Fantasea was just as helpful with questions, even more so, and doesn't run a cattle boat. His reviews from people here and scubaboard are stellar and he also offers the videos service. The clincher for me though was the personal touch and service. I'll post back when I return but you'll be home by then!
