Dive trips with strangers/new friends?

[kimster812]

So, I seem to be in a position where the few people I know around me that do dive, schedules never line up for diving to go somewhere. Either with work, family obligations, they just took/are taking another tip around then, etc.

Myself, I am pretty flexible time wise, and like shopping based on price, time of year for good weather, book, and go.

Is there anyone else in this type of position, and if so, how are/did you deal with finding more people to travel with?

I guess I could simply go alone, but I do like renting an airbnb/house on local rather than a single room. That's not so much cost effective doing singularly.

Thoughts?

I plan group trips and invite divers along, you're welcome to come check out my trips www.designedforscuba.com and join the Facebook Group to see what we're up to: Designed for Scuba I Eco-Encounters | Facebook. We often have a lot of solo travelers who join the fun!

I am having the same trouble. I go solo often and stay in hostels to meet people and keep cost down. It would ve nice to have a buddy to travel with. Hit me up if anyone is interested.
