Accommodation - Fiesta Americana was about half dive groups and about half other vacationers. Many were on a complete plan, wrist bands, all inclusive. The only open restaurant served primarily buffet, although you could order from a limited menu. Noisy ambiance with loudspeaker-assisted afternoon pool games. Clean rooms and public areas, polite desk staff. Would avoid Fiesta Americana next trip; not my vibe. Diving - Fiesta Americana's in-house operation was fully booked for several days, so went with Deep Blue, which picked us up at the Fiesta pier on time every day. This proved to be an advantage as we got a later start and smaller groups/faster boat compared with in-house guests. Deep Blue was uneven. One of three boat captains was very helpful with gear, etc. Divemaster sometimes energetically sought creatures, sometimes not. Would make no special effort to use or avoid Deep Blue on next trip. |
