Comments	Southwest Airlines with 2 free bags was a great way to get to Los Cobos Airport. Stay at Marina Fiesta Hotel. The hotel recommended by Nautilus had bad reviews--lots of thefts, even from room safes! All our arrangements were made by wondereful Onno Lenting, owner of Scuba Dive Asia. Perfection for the whole trip. DROP DEAD GORGEOUS BOAT. TOOK 30 DIVERS IN PERFECT HARMONY! Mantas every dive! Sharks every dive! On one morning dive, 14 bottlenose dolphins came to play with us up close and personal (really close!) for over 30 minutes. The dive from heaven! DO NOT MISS A DAY TRIP TO TODOS SANTOS! It's an hour up the coast in a rent car, and worth the trip just to see the Hotel California (of The Eagles song)...and the town itself is charming. Be sure to eat lunch at Cafe Santa Fe. Excellent Italian cuisine. We were part of an international group of 6. Nanda & Leo (Italian), Thanassis (Greek), Lenoid (Swiss), and my wife Gilda and me (Warren) from Houston. All friends from previous dive trips. Onno coordinated us all perfectly! www.scubadiveasia.com [warrensprung.smugmug.com link] Here is the GoPro video my wife/dive buddy took: [warrensprung.smugmug.com link]

I forgot to mention that when we were there 13 years ago (also in January), there were strong currents at times, but nothing I'd consider dangerous. Warren
