Heading down to GC and LC next month. We will sorely miss Calico Jacks on 7MB. The last of the casual beach bars right on the 7mb. Is there anything comparable, either new or that we may have overlooked?

Planning a SCC trip late May '24. Looking for any advice and suggestions from those who have stayed there before. Two couples. Two divers, one avid fisherman, one happy to hang out and chill. This will be our first stay at SCC. Very familiar with GCM and dove LC in 2010. Thanks. TK

So ski season is a wrap and looking forward to another season diving. I see temps hitting 50 on the NOAA Newport buoy. Anyone been diving lately? Hope to get out as soon as it hits 55.

Starting this April jb will have 5 nonstop flights per week from JFK. Story in the Curacao Chronical.

We just returned from our 5th trip to Curacao. A short trip for 5 nights and 4 days of diving. Because it was a short trip, we stayed at Nos Krusero just across the street from Gowest and dove their house reef every day. I had 11 dives and my wife 9. We flew down on JetBlue from NY and...

Did anyone see this show? Beautiful pics of the island including from a helicopter rescue on top of Christoffel in Westpunt. Nothing too diving related other than catching a poacher of lobsters and conch. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/tv/shows/to-catch-a-smuggler-caribbean-coast

It seems to me that I don't see as many posts and trip reports for diving GC. I thought once it re-opened there would be more. Is it just me? What do others sense or think? I'm still interested in returning for a dive trip but Bonaire and Cur have edged out a GC trip this year and probably next.

Intro: Had a great week of diving. My wife and I flew down on United from EWR and stayed at Capt Dons in one of their oceanfront deluxe jr. suites. Booked the trip through Maduro. This was our 5th trip to Bon with our last in '16. First time using Maduro and they were easy to work with and...

Just announced.

Just putting away the ski gear after a very successful ski season. Now turning my thoughts to dive season. Have a trip booked to BON in a couple months and looking forward to getting back to FT W this summer. I dive wet in RI and late May is when it is usually warm enough for me. For the...

Hopefully returning to BON in a couple months. Last trip to BON was in 2016. This upcoming trip was originally booked in "19 for the Spring of '20 and has been rebooked a number of times. Excited to return and this will be our first dive trip out of the country since Jan '20. We have a...

Anyone been recently? Hope to dive it this weekend. TK

I may be new to posting on the FL forum as I normally dive and post on the Northeast and Caribbean forums. This was my first trip to Key Largo since 1990 and only third time diving in FL (FLL '10, Key West '11) . Our repeat warm water trips have been to GC, T&C, BON and CUR and all put on...

Thought my trip last week May first week June was relatively safe from cancellation. Not so. My May leg cancelled and a quick look on United shows no flights until June. Is this what others are seeing? Anyone know why with Bon opening up recently to US direct flights?

Enjoyed a weekend of diving at Ft W. 2 solo dives Friday afternoon. 90 degrees in Jamestown, partly cloudy with calm conditions. Parking lot full with about 40-50 divers out and about. Water temp a toasty 72 degrees and diving without a hood. Vis about 10 feet. Lobsters, blue crabs...

Just saw this article. CHATA does not agree with substantial increase in airport tax Not a lot of detail but if the gist of it is another $210 is going to be added to the cost of a ticket not sure this the way to welcome back and entice back tourists. Why give another reason not to fly or...

Two thumbs up for Divecuracao's virtual postcards. Loved watching them while most of us are not traveling or diving in warm clear waters. Especially liked the recent one showing Allwest Apts. Stayed there on our first two trips and I thought it captured well what I liked about the area - you...

Ft w is open. Arrived around 2 pm. Winds out of the south. About 10 cars in the parking lot, 3 divers putting gear away and 2 more in the water. Water temp 57. Max depth 20. Time 24. Solo. Vis 6' clear and another 6' shapes, formations and sand. Nice first dive. Nice light in the shallows...

Just checked my United flight from EWR to BON scheduled for the end of May. Seats on sale now for $264 R/T for restricted economy and $311 R/T regular economy. Nonstop flight. A bargain if the world is back to normal by then and you can actually take the trip. Did not check other months but...
