We have dove Superman’s Flight a handful of times. The first time it was like high speed carnival ride. We were very new divers and may be didn’t know what we were in for. We have headed out that way a time or two and the dive was called because the current was too strong. The last time we dove...

Part of my reason for being a doubting Thomas is because on one my visits for pick up she said one of the employees was picking up the inflator button that day but was diving in the morning and she thought he was bringing it that morning.We happened to go back that afternoon as my wife had...

I dropped my gear off at a local dive shop in 08/03/21 for servicing. On 08/23/21 they told me everything would be ready “in a day or two”. I went to the shop to pick up on 9/14/21 and was told the part needed(inflator button) was arriving that day. I found out yesterday the gear still is not...

You guys are killing me! I didn’t know Yoda had a mother in-law! Be prepared for more CA migrants in the low tax states though.....CA pension deficits are already enormous and will continue to grow. Hence bigger tax bills here on the horizon........The Mrs. and I talk about invading FLA or...

I realize this subject has been quiet for a while but we just returned from Sandals Grenada so I thought I would weigh in. Tourism is a large part of the economy here so the folks are really happy to be back at work. We always like the dive crew here but they are really hustling now to make the...

Probably true. You used to be able to insure anything thru Lloyds of London probably less so today. Maybe a $15k premium for $18k trip. LOL!

We have dove St Lucia several times. On two occasions we stayed at Sandals Grande St Lucia.(10 day stay and 14 day stay.). We enjoyed the experience very much. We dove there off cruise ships last year on two occasions once with Dive Fair Helen and once with Scuba Steve. We thought the diving was...

My wife and I did the book/pool work at home with another couple.A coworker knew we were headed to Nassau, Bahamas and recommended we do the open water testing there. The Nassau instructor mostly took us diving, then we did some testing. Visibility was great, water 86 degrees. It was well worth...

Great report and videos! Thanks for sharing!

My wife and I are huge Sandals Grenada fans. The resort really isn’t that large, IMHO. with two pools and the beach it has never felt crowded to us. The main beach is mostly protected by some man made jetty’s so I doubt there will be a sargassum issue. The resort provides snorkel trips that are...

If you are a novice I would go to Ssandals Nassau. Dive crew is great. Like. 50 minute flight from Miami. Warm water. Great viz.On shore stuff to do. If you go to the rooms toward the back of the resort they are reasonable. You have to walk an extra 200 ft to get to the beach............some...

I have never made a dive without my spouse. We certified together and make all our dives together. I say we make magic together. Underwater Magic! I think we feel like the ocean is our special place. Best dive buddy a man coud ever have.....

My wife and I have logged about 150 dives now. Many at Sandals. It is very safety conscious medium intensity middle class diving. I would rank St. Lucia and Grenada as tops. Nassau close behind. Turks next as very good. If you go to St. Lucia stay at the Grande. The dive crews at Emerald Bay...

We live in Norcal and almost always go to the Carribean. The Big Island has some great diving with warm water as well. We prefer the Kohala coast. You are not the only cold water wuss......that club has a very large membership and I will always belong.

Is Hawaii on the radar screen? There are some very nice resorts ( Mauna Kea, Farimont) on the north coast of the Big Island with a very nice dive op close by, Kohala divers.

I have been to a number of Sandals and done probably 150 dives with them. After the Antigua accident, Sandals hired an expert to review their dive ops and safety procedures. The dive ops differ a little from resort to resort. Diving at Emerald Bay and Antigua were ok though the dive crews at EB...

Looking for anyone who has experience with this dive op recently. Read some reviews on trip advisor that were kind of mixed (some good-some bad)but view this as a better forum for objective opinions. Reviews of the Ocean Encounter ops in Willemstad all seem positive. Any input on the staff and...

We just came back from 14 days at Sandals Grande in Nassau. If it says anything, at least four of the DM's from our trip in 1996 were still there. While there we met three other couples who have been coming back for many years. Allegedly this resort has the most repeat divers in th Sandals...

My wife & I were certified by Sandals Grande in Naussau in about 1996, not long after the two divers were left in Antigua. While there we met a gentleman who had been retained by Sandals to review their ops. He was "in cognito" if you will and helping all the divers with weights and setups etc...

We just came back from two weeks at the Sandals Grande St Lucia. We did 20 dives in a 2 week span and found the dive sites near the Pitons to be very good. We have dove Caymans, Bahamas, Hawaii and fond the Piton area dives to be comparable to the Cayman dives. Supermans Flight and Fairyland...
