I recently took a great dive trip to Providencia, Colombia. I have prepared a full written trip report and posted it and about 150 underwater and land photos on my website. You can see it all by clicking here.
Rather than post the entire 7-page report, here is a quick table of contents of what you’ll find there:
I. Summary
A.Pros
III. Getting There
IV. Staying There
V. Diving There
VI. Eating There
VII. Paying There
VIII. Getting Around and Other Things to Do
IX. The Bottom Line

I had the help of Tad Miller, a regular ScubaBoard participant, and do recommend that you let Tad help you if you are interested in a trip. He can be reached through the ScubaBoard forum or directly via email at tadeo<at>diveoldprovidence<dot>com or call him directly at 239-281-6692.
I would also be happy to answer any questions you may have. Feel free to reply to this post, PM me on this board or reach me through my website where the trip report and pictures are.

I. Summary
A.Pros
