    Trip Report BA/Punta Sur Divers 10/15-10/29

    Had a great two week stay at the Blue Angel and spent today cleaning and stowing gear and going over some photos. I lost two days to nortes the first week but was able to dive every other day I was there. I dove with both the house op at the Blue Angel and with our buddy Jorge (Cubano) on both...

    Norte for days

    Here at the BA and we have a freaking Norte in October!! Port has been closed two days and no end in sight until next week. Wind is projected to shift to the NNW tomorrow but then is super random headed to the weekend with N and NNW toggling back and forth. Never had this many days out of the...

    Fiji in 2024 suggestions needed

    Hey all, Been reading all I can find about Fiji diving and the associated locations and resorts, but a lot of the info is pre-pandemic. For those who could give some recent advice, we are very experienced divers (two buddies that have been diving together for 30 years but we are not a couple)...

    Trip Report Bonaire Trip Report Captn Don's 7/11-7/19

    LAX - ALT - BON July 11-19 Flights to Bonaire are expensive from LA. We paid extra for comfort +, luggage and seat selection which raised the price of the ticket to nearly $1,000. I can get from LA to Paris for less. Makes Bonaire a challenge to justify financially this trip. We stayed at...

    A Bit Late- 4k Video of our week in Coz. Oct 15-23

    We had an amazing time back after a two year Covid break. The island was amazing as always. We pulled off 18 dives in 7 days but never felt rushed or exhausted! I know the nortes have been back, but we had flat seas and 85 degrees with light to no current. The people have had a rough go of...

    Skin Bends

    Just wanted to post my fun experience (not) of the last couple of days here on La Isla. We red eyed from LAX to Cozumel and landed at 11:30am. Made it to BA and decided to hop on the 1pm boat. Did a quick weight check shore dive to 15 feet for 5 minutes. All dives on air with Oceanic...

    Boat sinking from Blue Angel

    From the BA Facebook page.....so glad everyone is ok, and it is nice to hear that even with the fierce competition that must exist in Coz, it's still a brother/sisterhood after all. The Gire family is thinking of you BA family...

    Trip Report March 23-28

    Well I am deeply entrenched in my post Cozumel denial of reality week. We had another great adventure in Cozumel staying and diving with Blue Angel. This was our first experience doing the bag drag from Cancun and overall it was a good option. We got a non stop from LAX at 8am so we...

    Leaving CUN at 1am - what's the plan?

    Seeing as our trip is just a couple of weeks away and it's our first bag drag experience, I thought I'd see what the experts suggest! I think I've got incoming covered with the step by step sticky here on the site. We want to get to the BA ASAP, so we're not going to do anything except bus...

    Trip Report 7/6-7/13 - more like a small novel actually, part 2 of 2

    Dive sites: All reviews are just our opinions - some may think we're crazy!! We didn't have a 'bad' dive all week and it's all about what you're into. We tried not to repeat anything so we could cover as much as possible. Bari - good, but not great for us. Strong current and average sloping...

    Trip Report 7/6-7/13 - more like a small novel actually, part 1 of 2

    Hey all, We just got back from our first trip to Bonaire and we had a BLAST! All the information we had at our disposal on Scubaboard really maximized our trip and we really got a lot of action for the hours spent in the island. Thank you all for your help!! We took 3/4mm wetsuits but...

    25% wipes and 100% spray will that keep the skeeters away??

    Hey all, Two weeks till wheels up and we're so excited! While insects don't seem to have a taste for my bitter blood (too much garlic and capsaicin), my daughter must taste like fine wine as she gets annihilated whenever there are skeeters about. I know evenings at dinner and before/after...

    La Dania to Karpata

    Is this drift feasible from shore with two relatively advanced divers? We have lots of dives in Coz, and we're used to shore diving in So Cal with the stairs and conditions but it's our first trip to Bonaire. I was thinking to do it 1) from a boat or 2) with a guide but don't want to kick...
