Pacific-Explorers
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to Pacific Explorers. We are a dive company located in Bahia Asuncion, BCS, which is located
on the central pacific coast of Baja California Mexico.
You may be asking yourself why would I want to go diving in Bahia Asuncion? This beautiful, safe seaside village is a great vacation destination for
the whole family with lots to do and see when you aren’t diving. There are several great restaurants with fresh local seafood and activities like
surfing, snorkeling, fishing, kayaking, fossil hunting, bike rentals etc. to entertain you.
The islands & kelp forests surrounding the area make for unforgettable dives, and due to the fact that Asuncion is located in a biosphere reserve,
there is an abundance of underwater wildlife to view.
Pacific Explorers is dedicated in keeping the ecological balance of this biosphere reserve, and as such, we employ the “look but don’t touch” method
of diving. We are working hard with the Mexican Government to ensure that nothing will harm this natural wonder.
We offer tank rentals and tank fills full time. A tank rental is $15.00 USD/day (first fill included). A tank fill is $15.00 USD per fill.
We also offer dive charters full time. A minimum boat charge of $250.00 USD or $125.00 USD per diver (minimum two divers, max four divers per boat,
rentals extra). Proof of valid certification is required for any dive charters.
We have a certified PADI O.W.S.I. (Open Water Scuba Instructor) who has over 20 years of diving experience and who is additionally certified Full
Trimix. With this knowledge base we provide the following courses:

If you would like your web site and Facebook page links to appear below each of your posts on Nomad, there is an area called 'signature'... You note I
have a few links in my signature to make it easy for folks to find more Baja information that I have created.
1) Click 'Control Panel/ Options' (in blue, upper right corner of your Nomad screen).
2) Click 'Edit Profile' (in blue, upper-middle of screen).
3) Scroll down to box labeled 'Signature' and simply type in what you want to appear with every one of your Nomad contributions:
a slogan, (mine is "So Much Baja, So Little Time"),
photo [img] links if they are small, like 160 pixels,
and web sites you want to have handy for anyone reading your posts... http:// must be in front of the url...
4) Scroll to bottom and click 'Edit Profile'
Come back and change the signature anytime.
