    Default excellent

    Yep that will work, and I'll bet it gets even better. I was also reading that it is a great place to dive with sharks.

    Did anyone else put in an entry for the Discovery HD 1080 trip? That would be something I really wish I could do. If you missed it, there was a contest to put in a daily entry to have the opportunity to travel to the Carribean with the Discovery Channel dive crew to film shark week for this summer. I want to win so bad it hurts.

    Sounds like I'll have to be careful. I work with some guys that go down there to fish often, so I should be able to get the names and numbers for reputable boats and what exactly it should cost. The pongas don't really sound fun - baking in the sun, ending up with fish you don't want to consume which makes killing them a waste...that's the main reason I would pay more to do catch and release marlin fishing. If I can find a reasonable solution where we are covered, and the fish buried in ice - I will do it. After all Cabo is world famous for fishing, and I hear the chefs at the resort are usually happy to prepare it for you. Being nickel and dimed for everything is annoying but inevitable in a resort town.

    In the meantime I checked out Amigos del Mar and they have a dive package that looks good to me:

    "The Slam Dunk Package"
    Three Days of Diving - 1 two tank day Local Diving, 1 two tank "Across The Bay Trip", 1 two tank Cabo Pulmo Day = $269

    ...I can see myself going for this what do you guys think?

    That sounds like a decent deal. Avoid a dive to the "Sand Falls".

    I'll make 'em work for the extra dough: "hey listen when we get down there, could you roll up into a ball and roll yourself down sand falls?"
