We just came back from Puerto Aventuras. Not a first choice for scuba, but a good choice for a family vacation with some diving.1hour south of Cancun. The area's coral is struggling at some sights, but fun and easy diving with turtles, a nurse shark and more. Quick boat trip from the dock, with...

Dive Aventuras took great care of us! They booked the hotel and transfers, and took us diving. Great DMs, and all the staff were friendly and professional, at this very conveniently located dive shop! They are serious about doing the right thing to care for the environment, and to comply with...

Thank you ibj40 (Jim?), Mike at Dive Aventuras, and all the folks on Scubaboard, for your help and advice. We are set now for the Omni PA, where Dive Aventuras has booked us for a little better deal than booking straight through the Hotel. :)

Mike at Dive Aventuras responded promptly with a condo idea or the Omni. Trying to figure out if a condo will work for us. Thank you ibj40, for pointing me to them.

Thank you mmmbelows! That is a big help for me to choose an area! I think I am leaning toward Akumal now, I think. or maybe Tulum. :) Only 2 divers in our group of 5, so scuba will be happening, but will not be the main focus this time. I will want the best beach snorkeling, and we like casual...

I think we would prefer not all inclusive, so we could check out various restaurants. We want to be on a beach, and would like a pool. A bar would be good. We don't want a Disney type experience just clean and comfortable. I know I am late to book for this time of year. (I booked Puerto Rico in...

Thanks! Costa Rica looks like a place we will have to go! I hope you will post a report when you return. :) I think I will put it on a list for another time however, as it looks difficult to get to, at the time we had planned, for one group member who is coming from SF. So now I am looking more...

What hotel did you choose?

Thank you all! I am checking on Costa Rica and Puerto Aventuras now. Can you recommend any hotels/dive operators there? Is the diving good for beginners? Any ruins or other top side activities you enjoyed? We will probably return to Cozumel when we don't have a non diver with us. Jamaica is...

We are booked for 8 nights in Puerto Rico at Christmas time, but I'm pretty sure the island is not going to be recovered by then. Airline tickets are already purchased, rental car booked, and multiple hotel deposits paid! :( We are a family of 5 adults traveling from SFO, CHI, and JAX and had...

We love St Croix, and have been several times. The shore diving at Cane Bay is beautiful, easy, and I didn't think it was a long swim out. We did it over and over and didn't ever get bored with it. Cane Bay Divers is right there and will provide a guide if you want one. They also have boat...

I would love to hear all about it!

I just can't get Little Cayman off my mind! Our dive vacation with Little Cayman Beach Resort in 2012 was super and we will be returning in the late spring (2017)! It's just so hard to find a better place for the price! I have a fairly new camera, and I'm going to love learning to use it a...

Great review! I would love to visit too. When did you go? What do you think is the best time of year to enjoy this place?

Coco View is relaxed about solo diving. No scuba police. Sign the papers, and you are responsible for yourself. This is the place to maximize your underwater time. Boat dives, drop off dives, and shore diving to your heart's content. A cool wreck, and walls easy to dive from shore! Night dives...

I've seen fish do this at "cleaning stations"

The bridge is in Phil Foster Park. Check their webpage for details. It is open until sunset. High tide is when the current is slack. It is recommended you enter a half hour before and exit a half hour after. You can stay around the snorkel trail area to avoid the stronger currents before or...

Oh yes! Thanks. I think you're right. Looks like a Lane Snapper indeed.

I had a great time diving The Blue Heron Bridge in Riviera Beach, FL on June 4. I got a few good photos. I haven't been able to find this fish in my ID books, and am hoping someone can help me.

what kind of grunts are these? (fish ID help?) Good morning trolls! I enjoyed a beautiful dive at BHB, June 4. I'm hoping someone can help me identify these grunts.
