    Rocio Del Mar (Baja Midriff Islands) liveaboard - 8/6/16 who's going?

    Heading out to the Midriff Islands in the Sea of Cortez starting August 6th. Are any other ScubaBoard members on the boat this time? Hoping to see one or two of you from other dives we have done together in the past. This came up last minute for me (just this week) as they had a cancellation and...

    Things you've found under water

    Certainly lots of interesting finds out there, especially in lakes. I am partial to the warm waters of Mexico, the Caribbean, and the South Pacific so I do not come across too many interesting things - a couple masks, some snorkels, old knives, etc. One of the more useful items was a not to old...

    TSandM -- Lynne Flaherty

    Peter - I am so very sad and sorry for what you are going through right now. Cheryll and I so enjoyed our time with you and Lynne during the Loreto, Mexico trip just a short few weeks ago and we were really looking forward to the next time that we would share diving, hiking, and good...

    Loreto and La Paz end of Jan

    As noted in my PM reply to Rich earlier, but wanting to share with others viewing this thread, I can personally (and highly) recommend Sea And Land Eco Tours for scuba diving and much more in the Loreto area. The owners, Juve and Sara, are simply awesome and willing to work with you to help make...

    Loreto, Mexico (Baja) - Awesome deal for one lucky couple

    It is looking like the one lucky couple has this opportunity just about locked up, fellow Washingtonians no less as well as a ScubaBoard moderator - awesome. Others are still welcome to contact me via PM and I can put down your names in the order received as backups, just in case. Happy New...

    Loreto, Mexico (Baja) - Awesome deal for one lucky couple

    With our friends having to back out of a scheduled trip with us to Loreto this coming summer, we can offer a great deal at the finest resort in the Loreto area at a budget price - but only for one couple. There is amazing diving in the massive underwater marine reserve with a density of sea...

    Hotel Cozumel

    Another positive note to add about Hotel Coz - If you plan to dive, dive, dive (like I do when I am there), the convenience of Staying at Hotel Coz with AI and diving with Dive Paradise is hard to beat. Dive lockers and fresh water showers right by the docks, food less than 200 feet away...

    Reputable resources for last minute liveaboard deals???

    Thanks to everyone that contributed and participated in this thread. I am booked on a trip now and although I ended going back to one of the connections that I already had, and surprisingly not noted by anyone else here, I really do appreciate your input which will likely prove valuable on...

    Reputable resources for last minute liveaboard deals???

    That is part of the game - kind of like a puzzle. Finding a great deal on a live aboard (like I did for Palau a couple years ago as noted below) PLUS getting airfare for a reasonable rate (which is possible for some locations if you think outside the box) is the challenge. The reward is you are...

    Diving In Loreto, Mexico

    Hello Peitaho - Having dove with Juve and Sara of Sea & Land Eco-Tours just last year, I can say without hesitation that they are in fact a fantastic dive operation. My guess as to why you do not see much about their operation here on ScubaBoard is that Sea & Land Eco-Tours is not just a dive...

    Reputable resources for last minute liveaboard deals???

    Thank you DiverSteve, As it turns out I did inquire about the Baja trip on Rocio Del Mar on September 13th but even though the web site says to call Joe Ford, he informed me that the boat is actually fully booked already. Too bad - I probably would have taken that opportunity. As for the $300...

    Reputable resources for last minute liveaboard deals???

    Thank you all so far - several good suggestions for potential trips in the future. Nothing available yet in September that fits the bill so additional suggestions are requested from other divers, dive shops, and dive travel agents.

    Reputable resources for last minute liveaboard deals???

    I suspect that there is some really good information here on SB somewhere about the best reputable online resources to find great deals on last minute liveaboard opportunities but after searching for quite a while and reading too many posts that did not actually have what I was looking for, I am...

    Thanks Roxanne - everyone who knows me well definitely understands that diving is a top priority along with family.

    Bonaire Invasion Central

    :crafty: Hey Mike - hoping to see you, Lynda, Colin, Dennis, Roxanne, Doc, etc. Now if they just offered a decent airfare from the Pacific Northwest my wife and I would already have reservations. Since it takes forever and a day for a flight from here to there, we are wanting to go down for 2...

    Baja in November/December

    Hi Brad - welcome to this thread. I just returned from Cabo San Lucas this past weekend after a very relaxing time in the 80 degree sunshine. Although this was not a dive trip I did sneak in a couple dives one day as I wanted to take the opportunity to see schools of hammerhead sharks out on...
