Super happy for you and your newly certified daughter. We (my wife and I) are there for the first 3 weeks of February at Coral Estates. If you should happen to be there at the same time then it is would be great to dive with you. šŸ‘
Next February?? I know we are going back in November, but another trip in Feb woudl be great!! Would love to meet and dive together!
 
Would be interested to hear about your experience at gowest
The dive was good, not as good as our other dives this week. The main reason was that the visibility wasn't good at all. The reef is very cool, lots of cool coral formations, the dive guide Stefan was excellent but he had to wrangle a father/son pair a lot of the trip. (That seems to be the case on any dive that has more than one group with it. I don't get it - why hire a dive guide to ditch them???)
My daughter wasn't that impressed. She like the reef on Coral Estates and the house reef of the Dive Bus much better.
 
You can swing by Divers Republic at Daaibooi beach, Bob is excellent and very accommodating. The reef is a bit of a swim to get to, but is very nice. See if you can find the Tonka truck šŸ˜‰
Thanks for the recommendation. Sadly our trip is over, but will be back in November.

:funny:


She like the reef on Coral Estates

In my experience, that is one of the best reefs on the Island (with Porto Marie). I usually drive in the morning to make two dives in a remote site, have lunch somewhere, and then come back to Coral Estates and do one or two dives at the house reef (usually). If I am diving Porto Marie, I stay there for the whole day doing three to four dives, then head back to Coral Estate for dinner and go to bed afterwards.


the house reef of the Dive Bus much better.
I didn't know that they have their own house reef. Is it that good and worth a dive there?
