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 […]
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 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 […]
Living in Florida, we are lucky to have a lot of shore diving options available to us and we’ve been doing quite a lot of that. Some of our favorite spots are the Blue Heron Bridge and Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. It had been a while that we’d been on a dive boat, and we finally had a […]
The Cartanza, sometimes called the Cartanza Senora or Cartanser Senior, has an interesting story as do many wrecks. We just love learning about the history of these artificial reefs. In this case, there is also a wonderful conservation angle. Local divers organized an around the clock protest which was instrumental in preserving the wreck which […]
On top of being an interesting dive site, the Hilma Hooker has a colorful history. This is the tale our guide told us (but we hear that the story changes depending on who tells it!). The Hilma Hooker first started its journey as a Dutch cargo ship in 1951 but over the next two decades […]
We had a chance to discover the latest addition to the Pompano Shipwreck Park: the Okinawa wreck. It’s amazing to see how quickly the sea claims these artificial reefs and how full of life they become.
We used to go out to see some interesting dive sites around South Beach including the Army Tanks and Tenneco Towers dive sites. The last dive operator that (we dove with regularly) used to charter a boat out that way, but they have since closed down. When Divers Cove organized a trip with Deco Divers leaving […]
Located just off Fort Lauderdale Beach, Hog Heaven is a dive site that includes a 180-foot barge that was intentionally sunk in September 1986 as part of the Florida Artificial Reef Program. Thirty plus years of growth is well evident on the wreck and it’s literally covered in coral and full of life!
We’re just back from a diving vacation in Grand Cayman. We couldn’t resist revisiting the island for some thrilling and exhilarating diving. Crystal-clear water, dramatic drop-off walls, colorful and healthy reefs, and the famous Kittiwake wreck—what more could we ask for?
