    Lost GoPro - Cantarel / Eagle Ray Alley March 17, 2024

    I wonder how many go pros are lost at sea? And what will future explorers will think of them and what they hold? Imagine videos of our reefs 1,000 year ago…..make me wonder.

    Trip Report Turquoise Bay Dive and Beach Resort - Roatan

    Cactus juice, available on line, works wonders for sand critters. It smells good and isn’t greasy. Was much more effective than deep.mJMHO

    why is Cozumel so popular? Bad experience or just over rated expectations?

    WOW! What a blast from the past, thanks Ninia. 9 years ago, talk about thread necropsy, but sure made me think of my dives since then. Nothing ever compared to the total cluster fk that dive was. It was our fault, do your research. Well we went back to Coz 3 times since then and used blue xtc...

    Trip Report Aruba Trip Report, August 22-29, 2023

    I have been to the airport multiple times and imho is blown out of proportion. Yes once it did take in total almost 2 hours. But remember you are also going thru US customs and immigration, it often took us 1.5 hours to clear upon arrival in US (now we have global entry). You are not waiting in...

    Trip Report Aruba Trip Report, August 22-29, 2023

    Why don’t we dive Aruba? I guess we’d be considered dive snobs. After many years of diving we want really good to great diving. Aruba is a great vacation spot but not a great diving spo imho. If diving is my objective there are many far superior destinations in the Caribbean.

    Places to eat on Bonarie 2023

    Pasa bon is a thicker crust. We prefer the thin Italian style. Rumba has better pizza imho but it depends on your taste. Rumba is wood fired but they suffer from consistency. At times the pizzas are incredible other times mediocre. Service is very hit or miss with mostly misses. Pasa bon was...

    Southern Cross Club

    We also prefer the deluxe bungalow but like the upstairs units for the breeze. I think they are only $25 a night more, well worth it. Either of the 2 story units are great. They do have a honeymoon suite with an out door loo. Not sure if I would enjoy that as much as the outdoor showers. Never...

    Southern Cross Club

    We love SCC, it is where we will always stay. Advice….hmmmm. You only need 1 pair of shoes and those are for travel Food will be better than you expect. Large dive boats and have never had more than 8 divers. Very laid back no tv no radio no alarm clocks. For meals they ring a triangle. We did...

    Trip Report Little Cayman Feb 2023

    I’m in the southern cross fan club. The most we have ever had on the boat was 8 including us. Rooms are significantly better and outdoor shower is sublime. Food much better. Value for the added expense? To us it’s a hard yes, limited vacation time and well my wife is worth it. RCB nailed it...

    Trip Report Aruba - June 2023

    Drrich2, Aruba has lots more to do topside than Bonaire. Just back Sunday. It’s a vacation where you may dive not a dive vacation. We did atv’s one day and had a great time. Auto drivers very polite (not like Cozumel and their scooters), gave us lots of room and would stop so the 4 of us could...

    Cayman Brac Food Cost

    Take what you pay locally and multiply it by at least 3. Little competition, barge delivery and captive audience equals high costs.

    Experienced Divers: What are the most common "oh, crap!" situations?

    Don’t put your wetsuit on backwards. Raise your hand if you have done this. ( my hand is raised). Zipper in back (most cases). Lol

    First time in liveaboard

    Blue Manta is a fabulous boat. It was our 1st livaboard and had many of your same concerns. BM is a steel boat and is much quieter and stable than wooden boats. We had an upper cabin so can’t comments about lower cabins. Upper were very spacious. Currents ran from almost none to a washing...

    Trip Report Little Cayman trip report

    We have not stayed there but have visited. Reminds me of a summer camp. We passed because they only do 2 dives per day, they don’t have their own dive operation on site, not all cabins have AC, mandatory tip (it’s not a tip if it is automatically charged) and price is same as SC. They do...
