Dive Bus guide occasionally did at a few sites.... I did carry a DSMB, and sent it up in one particularly busy site (Playa Piskado). Did have a fishing boat cruise over us as we were heading in and they were too...

Things change over there. In 2002, nobody gave a damn how we were diving, they were happy to have any divers there. In fact, we were the only tourists there except for a French couple who spent most of their time spraying away the bugs from their room By 2017 they became so popular the place was packed and Andreas told me they do not allow solo diving. He had a stack of spare rear left windows for the pick up trucks they rented out and replaced ours with ease. The next day another truck was broken into and again this was the rear left. How did he know the thieves always break the rear left?!
I'm starting to pack for my trip this Saturday and I'm scratching my head on this--so I wouldn't be able to take my phone with me? My plan was to drive myself so just curious about basic things like how to navigate while driving around.
Save-a-dive kit in case I have an equipment issue between dives or even a water bottle to stay hydrated? Should I just plan on only taking what's going under water with me? And get a dry container for car keys?
Driving around can be difficult because of the street names being in Dutch (for me anyway) but it not hard to find most of the dive sites. So far the only issue I had with theft was at night behind a locked gate, sunglasses and a pair of my buddy’s flip flops.
one a trip a few years ago another diver brought their phone and just hid it, they are pretty easy to hide and no one is likely to do a detailed search of the truck or car so the worry is small. Maybe bring an old phone with an actual SIM card and buy a local sim for navigating, whatever you do the diving is worth it and the dive bus crew will help with directions once you get past the weird accents
Did those links show up, cause I can’t see them. I’m just seeing the Amazon logo.
Yep, thanks! You probably have an ad blocker.
