With a desire to try some new locations in the Caribbean without spending too much, we decided to look into diving in the Dominican Republic. I swiftly discovered that Bayahibe was the place to try, and thanks to a great recommendation here by a member we decided to dive with John at ScubaFun...

Anyone have any experience with referral OW certification dives at LCBR? With my daughter (and regular dive buddy) heading to college in the fall, my wife has decided to "give this underwater stuff a try". She booked herself an OW course in late November and told me to find her a place to do...

Just back from a week at Puerto Vallarta; only dove for two days but thought I would relate the conditions and share a few photos. In a few words, it was chilly and a bit murky, both normal for this time of year. Temps at 50' and below ran about 61F, and where it was warmer vis could be 10' or...

Splendid Toadfish (and a coral shrimp), thanks to the sharp eyes of Pedro diving off of Shamu with BlueXTSea on 2/25. Another fantastic trip, and we can't wait to return again next year. Thank goodness my non-diving wife has fallen as much in love with the island as I! :D In Cozumel even...

My wife, daughter (16) and I spent 8 nights at LCBR in mid-August, and in short the resort met or exceeded every expectation! That is saying a lot, as the consistently great reviews the place gets had us expecting quite a bit. We stayed in oceanfront rooms, on the full (3) meal plan...

I'm pretty new here and at diving, and I realize that like many of you I knew less than I thought at the various stages of my training to date. As the purpose of this section of the forum is to discuss how to avoid incidents such as the present case, I have a question. While I understand why...

I recently returned from a thrilling week at Utopia Dive Village in Utila. I traveled there with my daughter, aged 15. I've posted a review on Tripadvisor; below please find the link. A week in Paradise, well, Utopia. - Review of Utopia Dive Village, Utila, Honduras - TripAdvisor The...

My wife, daughter and I are just back from the island, and cannot be more happy with our trip. My daughter and I dove with BlueXTSea, and extend our thanks and admiration for Christi, Adan, Blanca, Arturo and especially to Pedro and Juan! You guys made us feel right at home, and were more...
