Dive sites near Cabo San Lucas?

Curious if anyone has some recommendations on sites near Cabo San Lucas. Looking for sites that are less than a 2 hour drive from Cabo. Not looking for a live-aboard situation (hopefully next time).

Re: Who's your LDS and Why??

I apologize. I didn't think there would be a problem with critical opinions of LDSs. I was actually just trying to help people out.

Re: Who's your LDS and Why??

I have a criticism of a shop: AQUATIC SPORTS, Portland, Oregon 1) All the gear is priced with a huge mark-up 2) Can't trust the owner: he is just trying to make the most money off you as humanly possible (e.g. pointless accessories, etc.) 3) The head instructor and one of his dive assistants were TO...

Zombieland was freaking awesome indeed. Loved everything except one part: they didn't show him decapitate that one zombie with the loppers! What gives? Come on now... :angry:

Re: Temp of cali waters?

Dived the channel islands last week (off the coast of Santa Barbara) and the water temp was between 65 and 68 degrees.

Also did a couple dives in Monterrey last week, temperatures dropped to 55 degrees.

Jumpsuit or Farmer John/Jacket?

Just asking for peoples' advice or experience:

What is considered to keep you warmer, a jumpsuit, or farmer john/jane and step-through jacket combo? I've heard differing opinions.

Thank you for your responses. :snorkel:

Re: NWDC T-shirts: The Next Run

I voted for charcoal grey. I'm a size L. I'm new to NWDC, so bare with me. A T-shirt is an automatic purchase for me. Gotta represent! :occasion5:
