Comments	Paid for a 3 tank dive in Cabo Pulmo. Was a 2 hour boat ride from Cabo San Lucas. On our 1st dive the divemaster, who was a very young lady who had been diving for 4 years, took us to the sandy bottom at 67 feet and motioned us to stay there. After 18 minutes she returned and had us surface. Apparently she had become lost and had to surface herself to get oriented. The 2nd dive was uneventful and lasted 40 minutes. On the 3rd dive she aborted it after 20 minutes. No reason was given. I have been diving for over 40 years and this trip ranks right up there as one of my worst experiences. When I dive Cabo Pulmo again I will do it in the Fall when some of the big creatures are there. Spring time is probably not the best time to go, although they reported seeing a whale shark last week.
