Hi,
I might be able to get 7-8 days off at the end of July this year and am thinking about diving - I haven't been diving for almost 2 years now. Do you have any suggestions for a short trip like that - I would be travelling from Germany?
I am not a really experienced diver, and it would be the first time that I would be going alone (i.e. without a friends) - so I am looking for s.th. easy, which allows me to relax. So far, I have been diving in the Red Sea, Bonaire and Bali.
Here is a little bit about the mostly overlooked Old Providence Island
A small, off the beaten path, island about 100 miles off the coast of Nicaragua. Over 100 square miles of prime virgin reef (3rd largest in the world) surrounds the mountainous island and its dry rain forest of 6.5 square miles. Most of the diving is a 10 minute or less boat ride. With a wide variety of diving interest, there is everything from walls to caves to crevasses to shipwrecks to tropical fish to coral formations to rays and snorkeling. The only think it does not have is the larger animals.
Fishing, beachcombing, Kayak, trekking, bicycling, horseback riding are the other major attractions
There are no casinos, no large resorts, no night clubs….its more like a game of dominos over a beer, mom and pop bed and breakfast style cabanas and a bon fire on the beach with local musicians.
Most restaurants serve local cuisine, all fresh from local fishermen.
There are only about 5000 people on the island. The Isanders all treat guests like family and crime is simple non-existent.
If you are looking for a different type of destination with more resort type you may also wnt to consider San Andres Island. Much more populated diveing is just as good and there is more of a nightlife.
