We dove for a week in Cayman Brac with a 17-dive package from Cayman Brac Beach Resort. See our resort review here Diving is on-site and run by Reef Divers. There are at least four boats but as the resort wasn’t full, we had two boats going out daily during our stay. Our boat, the […]
We had been to Grand Cayman a couple of times before but we were excited to have a chance to visit one of the two smaller sister islands, Cayman Brac. The Cayman Brac Beach Resort is owned and operated by the same owners as the Little Cayman Beach Resort.
This spectacular wreck is one of the main draws for diving in Cayman Brac. Sunk in 1996, the M/V Captain Keith Tibbetts is a Russian military frigate, destroyer #356, which has been turned into an artificial reef. After almost 30 years, it has a lot of growth on it and is nicely covered in sponges […]
We had recently done a trip to Cambodia where we flew through Bangkok and this gave us the perfect opportunity to do a short local flight to Phuket for a bit of scuba diving. We had also explored diving destinations closer to Bangkok, but most reviews suggested that the diving would be better in Phuket. […]
We’ve had several prescription dive masks made over the years, but now as we’ve gotten a bit older the old ‘bifocal’ issue has come into play. We kept wondering how all those other divers were getting pictures of small nudibranchs and critters, but we were barely able to see anything up close! Well, it was […]
When we first saw a cruise itinerary that did Cozumel, Costa Maya, Belize, and Roatan the first thing that came to mind was scuba diving. What a great way to experience multiple top-notch dive locations and have a cruise ship transport us around! So, is it a good idea to take a cruise with the […]
One of our first exotic dive destinations was Thailand. While we were just newly certified and this was mostly a traditional holiday, we could not resist the opportunity of diving in the Andaman Sea. Diving in Phuket was the perfect conclusion to our Thailand adventure and a great dive destination. Up until then, we had […]
We had been curious about scuba diving in the Bahamas for a while. We have friends that had spent time at Stuart Cove’s in Nassau, and we also heard about other good dive spots on Grand Bahama. The Bahamas is well known for its shark diving, and I must say, that made us a little […]
When we first visited spice island, Zanzibar, we were not scuba diving certified and we snorkeled the beautiful warm waters near our resort. We took an excursion made up of a mixed boat of divers and snorkelers and after their dive one Italian lady looked at us and asked, “why don’t you get certified?” What […]
We joined DXDivers for their first Pompano Beach pier cleanup. We’ve participated in other such cleanups in the past, but it was the first time at the Pompano fishing pier. Lots of community groups and local vendors set up booths along the road as 260 divers took to the water with support staff on the […]
