This thread has been dead for too long. I propose to change that.
This past weekend I had an opportunity to visit, and dive with, a friend in Punta Mita. It turns out that this friend, Javiar Alvarez, is the owner of Punta Mita Expeditions. We dove for a few hours on big balls of sardina. There were thousands of small African Pompano, Jacks, and I saw one Golden Trevally. Later we did a long drift dive where I missed a perfect shot at what looked a lot like a WSB. Although we did not connect with any Cubera or other big species, it was a great afternoon.
Javiar is a highly skilled diver, and runs a good operation. His Captains take their jobs seriously, and he is now the sole owner. Any bad press about Punta Mita Expeditions from the past is related to a previous partnership, and does not reflect the business today. I highly recommend them to anyone thinking of freedive spearing at Punta Mita
