    Do I need a cavern cert to do a guided Mexican cenote dive?

    I did dive the cenotes in July 2010 and you don't need to be cave certified to dive them. As per our divemaster, we did the most difficult one called " Dos Ojos ". OW divers were not accepted for this cenote dive. You needed to be AOW and higher. At some points during the dive, space was...

    What is that ?

    This was spotted in Roatan on the second week of February 2010. Off the north coast, near West End, in about 20 meters of water. There is a DM over there who knows a thing or two about marine biology, but she had no idea of what this is. We went thru some marine life books and did not find...

    Cuba in November??

    Isla de la Juventud is not very far from Cayo Largo, but not that close so they dive the same sites. Water in Cayo Largo is usually very clear ... viz averages 20-40 meters. I never dove Isla, but I guess it should be much the same clear water. Regarding the price, it is true that diving...

    Cuba in November??

    Personally, the best dive destination in Cuba is Cayo Largo. Cayo Largo is a small island south of the mainland, accessible only by plane. BUT there is basicaly nothing else to do on the island besides long walks on the beach or getting a tan. I have also been to both Varadero and Cayo...

    Trip Report : West Bay, Roatan

    I had chosen Roatan to go dive The Odyssey, but Anja told me it is now broken in 3 parts and tilted on it's side, so they don't really dive it no more. An since I was the only one of the group who wanted to dive wrecks, we didn't do any !!!
