Isn’t it strange how we tend to go out of our way when we’re on vacation, visiting another country or city but we seem to bypass interesting places right next door to where we spend most of our time, at home? The other day we decided to stop at the Oleta River State Park, which […]
Some mornings I feel like the weather is laughing at us as the winds pick-up and the seas get choppy. Especially when a North East wind appears, boating conditions deteriorate and our dive excursions get cancelled. Of course one must think of safety first and anyone that has tried to get on a boat ladder […]
Going scuba diving is like traveling to a foreign land, off the beaten path, where only a few lucky ones get to visit. There are approximately 6 million certified divers in the world, which represents less than 0.1% of the world’s population (7.4 billion).
I remember being so excited and full of anticipation as the day of our departure neared. This was a bucket list trip for me, as I had dreamed of going on safari for a very long time. My love and admiration of Big Cats went as far back as my childhood and the idea of […]
Hurricanes have a way to mess with people’s travel plans. They also stir-up the ocean floor hindering visibility for scuba divers. On the upside, they can also unearth buried treasure, shifting around wrecks and moving sand around at the oceans bottom perhaps exposing long lost treasures for someone to find.

Miami had literally a dozen direct flights daily and the short 2.5-hour flight was a breeze. We enjoyed seeing the aqua blue […]
This was a bucket list trip for me, as I had dreamed of going on safari for a very long time. My love and admiration of Big Cats went as far back as my childhood and the idea of getting close to these majestic animals was exhilarating. Here I was years later on my way […]
Last week, my brother was visiting and as an avid diver himself we were keen to take him out to explore some the local dive spots. Unfortunately, we had a distant hurricane “Hermine” stirring up the ocean and wind and waves were bad enough to interfere with our plans.
Lately, we’ve been lucky to have the opportunity to go to Miami and South Florida regularly. We love the area and we seem to always have something new to discover. There are always things to do, a new restaurant to try, a new music venue, or a new beach to see. It’s hard to get tired […]
My husband and I have become passionate about scuba diving. We used to snorkel a lot but after we got our certifications for diving it opened up a new underwater world to us. Diving allows us to get a closer look at the beautiful sea creatures and to see them in action. It allows us to stay […]
