Later Morning Dives???????

[BuceoMan]

Does anyone know if there are any dive operators that have later dive times in the morning? It seems most have pickups between 730-800am, i just don't feel like waking up so early while on vacation this time around.
Are there any shops that go out for first dives at around 9-930am?

BLUE ANGEL RESORT (Formerly Caribe Blu Hotel and Blue Angel Dive Shop) has a 10:00AM boat.

Check with Blue Magic or Deep Exposure

Blue Magic runs fast boats and Deep Exposure runs a big boat that stays out most of the day but they include a full lunch. If you book with them, make sure you request to dive with Ramon! Both have 9:00am departure times.

Troy Ruhr at Pelagic Ventures goes out a bit later than others.

Is he the same Ramon that worked for Blue Angel for a while a couple of years or so ago?

No, no, no.....haha! This Ramon is an Instructor and worked for The Anita for many years. He has VERY strong following...one of those that people follow wherever he goes.

With the time change from Toronto, the 7:30-8 a.m. pickup is actually 8:30 or 9 a.m. for your body clock. So it's not as bad as it seems.

Do you have later times? I'd like to sleep in most of the time or need to spend time with othe non-divers. :depressed:

I know what you are talking about on the early dives. I was up at 630 each day to leave at 730. after diving 3-4 tanks of air and then have 2 beer with supper I could barely make it past 10 at night before i was passing out in a chair And I usually never sleep more then 6 hours.

If non divers are the reason to stay up late, i think you have to find new friends/family to go on a trip with

Technically, Blue XtSea only goes out early with pick-ups starting at 8.00 a.m. at the downtown docks. But, the further South you stay, the later you get picked-up. Stay at one the Southern most hotels and you could concievably sleep as late as 8:30 a.m.
