    Trip Report Galapagos trip report - Nov. 2020

    I also took a 5mm and a 7mm and was glad I brought both. The northern sites (Darwin & Wolf) were much warmer than the southern sites. Darwin & Wolf were around 78 degrees, so the 5mm was perfect. The southern sites were usually in the mid to low 60s, but the lowest temp at one site was 59...

    Trip Report Galapagos trip report - Nov. 2020

    No mantas on this trip. I think the manta season starts in a few weeks. Vis varied by location. The southern sites were mostly lower vis than Darwin and Wolf. Lots of blue water diving possible in Darwin and Wolf.

    Trip Report Galapagos trip report - Nov. 2020

    I recently returned from a 7-day liveaboard on Galapagos Master and want to share my experience. I booked through Bluewater Travel and got a discount of around 50%.

    Bucket List Trip

    I agree with the Socorro recommendation! I went on the Rocio del Mar on the late December/January trip and it was great.

    Socorro around Christmas/New Years - conditions etc.

    I went to the Socorros aboard the Rocio Del Mar a couple weeks ago. My trip departed December 27 and returned January 4. It was an awesome trip and I highly recommend it! I arrived in San Jose Del Cabo the afternoon of Dec. 26 and we departed from the marina around 9 am on the 27th. The...

    Dive operator La Paz

    I highly recommend the Cortez Club. I drove up from Cabo and was delayed because I was in a traffic accident on the way there. Even though that caused me to miss the regularly scheduled boat, they still took me out by myself on a boat and had a DM dive with me. I thought my day would be ruined...

    Cabo / La Paz Dive Report

    I'm currently in my hotel waiting to go to the airport, so here's a report on my dive trip this week! I flew into the Los Cabos International airport, and Cabo San Lucas is about 30 minutes or so away by shuttle. Be sure to book your shuttle round trip, because apparently the shuttle companies...

    Thanks. I'll probably spend some time at Blue Heron Bridge instead.

    What is the current Jupiter water temp?

    I'm currently booked on charters out of Jupiter on Wednesday and Thursday of this week. This is my first time in Jupiter. Should I be prepared for the boats not to go out with the current wind forecast?

    Too windy to dive the wall?

    We went to LCBR earlier in November of this year and had the same issue with 20-25 mph winds because of a cold front in the US. The first day we were there, winds were about 10-15 mph out of the north and we were able to make it around to the north side to dive Bloody Bay for our morning dives...

    Trip Report - Little Cayman

    Just got back from a great trip to Little Cayman! Here's a trip report: We arrived in Little Cayman on Halloween evening. The flight aboard Cayman Airways was quick and easy, but just make sure your carry-on and personal items are a maximum of 15 pounds combined. We were all well under the...

    Little Cayman question

    I'm going to Little Cayman from November 1-6, and looking at the extended forecast I'm a little concerned about how the wind may affect our trip. I know it's hard to predict this far out, but I would like to try and get a general reference point for how they deal with the wind there. From what I...
