An instructor with whom I dive here in the Midwest has bought property there and is loading up on gear while making his way through our government's paperwork to live and work there. Plans are to operate a dive shop/resort in the very near future.

Can put you in touch with him if you like.

When are they planning on being open?
 
Perhaps as soon as next month. Everything is in place but the bureaucratic red tape. A few more dozen forms to be filled out and approved by our govt before operation can begin. Most definitely by Spring.

Top-notch rental gear, good compressor, great people. I will be sure to make announcement when all is go. I also plan to be one of the first groups to visit since it is all unspoiled and the first year will not just be one of discovery but also of getting to name the dive sites!

One of the few warm-water destinations that I am still interested in.

Down to waiting on some committee to approve some form and buying a boat. Now expects to be full-time resident in July and ready for diving customers in Aug or Sept. Will post an announcement when all is ready.

If you would like to contact him in advance, send me a PM and I'll provide his current email address.

jimmyboy, are you affiliated with Scuba Monserrat? or is that the shop The Skull is
talking about?

looks like you guys may end up with two shops down there ;)
 
jimmyboy:
yes we are affiliated, competition is a good thing

Congrats. Will have to visit your operation when I come down to dive with my current friend, once he is up and running.

jimmyboy:
Thanks, looking forward to the visit skull
Congrats and good luck! How did you manage to get up and running so quick ? From the other posts, the other new shop has been in the process of getting clearance and setting up longer and is still not ready ? Where did you work before ?
