Colombia Isla Gorgona

[mybluelife]

Greetings. Does anyone have any recommendations regarding dive shops offering trips to Isla Gorgona? I'm looking at making a trip to Colombia in September. Has anyone had good experiences with a particular dive shop? Which town is best to use as a base to get out to the island?
Any suggestions or information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

You might want to try Paradise Dive Shop in San Andres Island, Colombia (off the coast of Nicaragua and south of Providencia). Web site is paradisediveshop.com. It's a small shop but Juan Carlos, the Staff Instructor who runs the place, is very professional. I just got back yesterday from a few days of great diving.

They are doing a mid-August trip to Gorgona and Malpelo. In order to get to Gorgona, I believe you'll have to fly into Buenaventura. Paradise Dive Shop's trip runs, I think, US $2000, which includes airfare from San Andres, all other transportation fees, a day of diving in Malpelo, and a couple of days in Gorgona.

Hope this helps.
