I am a member of PADI (professional Association of Dive Instructors). It was a surprise when yesterday their travel department sent an e-mail
encouraging divers to travel to Mexico. Yes it was to promote PADI's travel biz but is still good news and PR for Mexican businesses. Below is a
copy of what I received.
Dear Mark, #83267
On 15 May, the United States Centers for Disease Control (CDC) lifted the travel advisory discouraging all nonessential travel to Mexico. As a result,
the US Department of State travel alert related to the 2009-H1N1 influenza outbreak in Mexico is also no longer in effect. Flights are getting back
to normal and resorts are offering outrageously affordable rates just in time for summer.
With some of the worlds best diving, Mexico is the perfect place to take a much needed vacation. Use your 5% PADI Member discount to book your trip to
Mexico by contacting your local Dive Center or Resort or your PADI Travel Network Travel Specialist today.
