Re: Palapas Ventana Flop
While all of us have a protected 1st Amendment right to Free Speech and to post differing opinions (which should be protected), name calling and personal attacks should be called to task by the adults.....
...This type of b.s. is why many divers will no longer post or offer their knowledge to help others improve their game...More than once, I, like most of my friends who will no longer post anything, have been tempted to just drop out and leave the sites to the self-appointed critics with their overly inflated egos seemingly fueled by low self-esteem...(Hey, I read it in a psychology class)….. ...As adults, I think we can all do better...…………………………………………… ...415 is police code for a "public disturbance", if that explains anything....

Re: Palapas Ventana Flop
Well yeah I went to Palapas Ventana and had a pretty shit time of it too. It mostly wasn't their fault. I went in 2015 so the water was 90 degrees on the surface and there was very little life.
I thought the place was pretty comfy and nice. We didn't have any breakdowns. The only really lame thing I can remember was when we paid 75 bucks to go to mag bay because the fishing in La Paz was so terrible. Our guide got lost on the way, took us almost to Loreto before he realized. Accidents happen. When we got there, the panguero was like "oh I didn't think you guys were coming" so he got the boat back in the water and we were off, just a couple hours later than expected. We dove two spots, at the second spot I saw a lot of 15-20 lb broomtail and though I was tempted, I was told it was 1 grouper per diver per day max, period. So I didn't shoot them. When I got in the boat the guide said "man you shoulda shot em, we're about out of time." Which surprised me. Pretty short day. We dove one more spot for like half an hour and saw nothing but a couple roosters (which luckily I got to try before having a chance to shoot one, they are naaaasty, leave them alone.) So we get back to La Paz and I was telling the other guide, the Bulgarian guy, about how it went and how I only saw those small fish. He says how deep were you going and I told him the spots were all in 25-45 feet of water. He goes, "why didn't you try the deep spots? That's where all the bigger ones are." I'm like "-_-" a) because I don't f'ing know b) that's why I have a GUIDE. After getting down to La Paz and finding it was a complete desert, fine. Whatever. But when we have basically one day to dive a place that actually has fish and it was such a disaster, we all kinda felt like there were better places to go. I was in a decent mood because I just finished taking the bar exam which back in my day was 3 full days and you didn't get the questions in advance so it sucked, I was happy to just be in Mexico with nothing to worry about. Would I go back? ... no. Would I actively discourage anyone from going? Also no. One of the guys I went with had gone down a few years before on the same dates and it was WFO on the wahoo. But he also felt like maybe he'd rather try another area in the future. It's nothing against Palapas Ventana, it's just a VERY hit or miss place. It's a pretty long way to go and a bit of an investment for all or nothing diving. |

Dude, Did you just recycle a post! So, you know, not just 50 people, but 50 people that have all actually visited the place and, have somehow conveyed to you, that they all had a blast. Sure Felipe! YFOS- (Thats LEO CODE for “YOU’RE FULL OF S..T.”) Please get away from your occupational habits and stop making up crap!

I can certainly tell the difference between a used starter and a new one though and what I saw, did look exactly like the one the previous day down to the oily residue. The fact that you did change it with your Certified Mechanic sucks even worse though! How in the hell does a newly installed starter fail in less than 24hrs. And how is a paying customer not supposed to get irate about that? I guess anything is possible!

Re: Palapas Ventana Flop
It was a good attempt to bad mouth a company. Stay in Rosarito with your TV. I'm sure you won't see this because you're "OUT".
