Bienvenidos - Welcome - to Palapas Ventana, the newest and most unique resort in La Ventana Bay in the Sea of Cortez, Baja Mexico. We are located just 35 minutes southeast of La Paz between La Ventana and El Sargento. When you visit us, you will see why Tim and Karon Hatler, the owners, chose this beautiful spot with incredible turquoise water, amazing sunrises and sunsets, and perfect temperatures. Come join us to experience the natural beauty of the Sea of Cortez, friendly Mexican culture, foods with unforgettable flavors, and a time to just "be in the moment".

You'll know you are at Palapas Ventana when you see the palapa roofs of our quaint casitas overlooking the Sea of Cortez and Cerralvo Island. Our beautifully constructed casitas are strategically set amongst native Baja desert plants, including barrel cactus, cardon, elephant tree, palo adan, candelillo, cholla, mesquite, palo verde, and pitaya agria. Each casita is a separate unit with a porch adorned with flower-filled Mexican wooden planters made by a local artisan. Every casita has a fantastic view!

Scuba Cylinders and Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations

Image
Here are the hard and fast regulations that we must follow as gas blenders and safe divers.   No cylinders will be overfilled more than 10% period. Here are the facts. FICTION: Fill Station Operators do not have to be trained FACT:  The truth is that the US Code of Federal Regulations, Title 49, requires "Function Specific" training for all employees.  If they fill cylinders they need Fill Station Operator training. In Canada the rules are even more specific.  Transport Canada regulation CSA-B340 requires that persons filling containers be trained although it does not specify the exact nature of that training. FICTION: The Code of Federal Regulations is not law . FACT:  While technically true, 44 USC 1507 (public law) requires that the Federal Register be “judicially noticed”, that is, recognized by the courts as law.  All aspects of the CFR have been first printed in the Federal Register and the CFR is prima facie evidence of the text

Dive The Historical Whiskey Wreck with Down Under Dive Shop

Image
  The Whiskey Wreck is a shore dive from Gulf Shores located roughly 150 yards due south of the beach and Bahama Bob’s Café. It lays just beyond a sandbar offshore, and that sandbar provides a useful landmark and staging area. The wreck is a 200-foot rum runner boat in less than 20 feet of water. That depth is shallow enough for snorkelers, non-divers on a Discover Scuba Dive, and Open Water divers alike to enjoy the wreck.

PADI Sidemount Diver

Image
 Sidemount diving enables a unique way of buoyancy control resulting in a more streamlined profile that reduces drag making finning and moving through the water easier and more efficient. Offers a greater comfort level as sidemount equipment and harness can be custom fit to each individual, accommodating divers of all shapes and sizes. Great for divers with any disabilities, as you carry the cylinder(s) separate from your harness to the water. Whilst within the water you would then attach your cylinders and weights, making the entries and exits to dive sites much easier. Safer option in terms of air management as you have an easier access to your cylinder valve(s), first stage(s) and alternate regulator should a problem arise. One harness and BCD does it all. This statement is now true as the same sidemount equipment you use, can be used for more advanced types of diving i.e wreck, technical and cave diving." Price: $500 (Sidemount Rental Included) Sample Schedule Day
