I noticed American Airlines flies from Miami to San Andres twice a week. I've been thinking of adding it to my list.

I like Paradise Villas. Close to dive shops, restaurants, and grocery stores, near the Phoenix. In comparison to Roatan, I'd say Roatan has better diving but Ambergris Caye is far more walkable and has a better topside life. If you're looking in the Caribbean and are willing to drive...

Thank you, Rob!

Where are the spreadsheet and Google doc version posted?

Just wondering about shops that tend to offer later dives. I know some do, assuming they have enough people. I'd be coming from the West Coast of the US and it's about a 2-3 hour difference in timezone. I like to sleep in on vacation and would prefer not to rush for a 7:30-8am departure...

It's good to see this thread. I've done yearly trips to PR and will probably go again later this year. The food is great. The prices are generally reasonable. Great topside life. The diving is wonderful and there are great beaches. La Parguera is my favorite for diving. I've also dove...

Bummer that Dive Aruba is closed. Clive was great.

Thanks @suzsuz22 !

I noticed that some Allianz plans include an "epidemic option." See this link for an explanation. This is an observation, not an endorsement. :)

Thanks, @Dan and @suzsuz22 !

My biggest concerns are medical and evacuation. I'm willing to absorb small expenditures. If something bad happens, I want to be airlifted. You also want DAN. Thankfully there is a chamber on the island. On a side note, when it comes to the travel portion, the only problem I had was with a...

That's good to know about Ramon's. I also found this site while browsing around.

I've been to Belize several times in July, August, September. It's my favorite time to go. It's less crowded, accommodation rates are often lower, and the water is warm (well, warmer than usual in Belize). Just be aware of one thing, during each one of my trips the power has gone out at...

Hi, I'm considering coming down to San Pedro for a dive trip. I'd like to find out information about getting a COVID-19 test for returning to the United States. So here are my questions: (1) Where are COVID-19 tests offered? (2) Approximate price? Cash? Credit Card? (3) What days are the tests...

I'm already missing Puerto Rico!

I just completed my yearly dive trip to La Parguera from December 27-30, 2018. I dove with two buddies. We used West Divers. Bam Bam was our divemaster. I won't go into too many details. You can read my other trip reports for a little more info. We dove two dives each day with the...

I like the site squaremouth.com. You can easily search across multiple insurance providers. For me, my major concern is medical & evacuation. I can usually get a policy that covers this for less than USD 50. I am not concerned about hotel and airfare. I can work through those. I care...

FWIW, I have not let hurricane season detract from diving. The summer/fall season in the Western Caribbean can be quite nice, especially because the crowds are thinner. You might check to see which dive shops are open but from what I've seen the "low" season is getting shorter each year...

Thanks, Ron! I remember you from the Atomic Aquatics forum. I do like the Cobalt. It was one of the earliest (maybe the earliest) to go to market with a super intuitive color interface. All models like this have higher prices and, while costly, it is a joy to use. Mine is out of warranty...

Hi, Since the Atomic Aquatics forum is no longer being monitored by the company, I decided to post this here. My Cobalt (original) had problems during my most recent trip to Belize. In the middle of the dive it started saying I needed to do a deco stop. I don't recall being that close to my...
