    One day port call in Roatan, want to go diving

    This is Lee, one of the owners of Enomis Divers, and I would just like to clear up a few issues about our dive operation that Roatanman was a little unclear or just wrong about in this post of his. First he stated that Scuba Board is populated by divers and for divers and that fact is indeed...

    Utila Dive Centre and Bay Islands College of Diving

    Scubasully, it seemed like a long time ago now, but once I was in your shoes, having to decide between what I really wanted and loved to do, or do what I needed to do to make ends meet financial obligations. I chose the later and changed full time professions. At this stage in my life, I now...

    Utila Dive Centre and Bay Islands College of Diving

    Well, I would absolutely, definitely recommend UDC in Utila without any reservations. I first became certified as an open water diver in 1976. I became a scuba instructor in 1978. After about 10 years, money issues forced me to get another full time job, but I never quit diving, so I know...

    Venezuela, Aruba, Bonaire & Curacao Dive Trip Report

    Hi EnronX, February can be hit or miss around Margarita. In 2006 viz was great in February, but this year because of the off shore storms and Atlantic upswellings we have been experiencing, there has been lots of plankton and other stuff in the ocean, limiting visibility (10 to 30 feet). Now...

    Venezuela, Aruba, Bonaire & Curacao Dive Trip Report

    Margarita Island is a tax free and duty free island, so, like I said before tourist dollars of visitors here do not go into Chavez's pocket. When I bought my brand new 2006 Honda Civic, I did not have to pay any sales tax on the car or the license plates. When you go to restaurants or buy...

    At the present time there are no direct flights from Margarita Island or Los Roques to Banaire, Aruba or Curacau. You would have to fly from Margarita to the international airport by Caracas and then catch a flight to the ABC Islands. You can, however, catch a flight (a small puddle jumper...
