We were at Divi--sorry, didn't see this until we were back--we left 8/7. Wouldn't surprise me if our paths crossed!

We did see a seahorse! I love those guys!

I spoke too soon. Despite receiving a message indicating success, when we arrived, the authorities said that we had not in fact been successful. That was confusing, because I was like, "But I have my QR code right here . . ." In any case, it was no big deal--we just diverted briefly to a...

Currently in Bonaire--your video does a great job of capturing Divi Flamingo and the underwater sites. So far, we haven't spotted any rays or sea horses, but we've seen octopuses, a moray eel, and fish galore (including frog fish and a rock fish). Had dinner at Joe's last night--good food...

So sad to hear this news. We're arriving in Bonaire tomorrow--our first visit (planned two years ago but delayed due to the pandemic). We'll be interested to see how our dive operator proceeds.

Update: Just tried the site again (departing this weekend) and it worked! Regarding how far in advance one can do it, like others, I found that I could not enter our arrival and departure dates until our trip was less than seven days away, and thus I could not make it through the site to the...

Just chiming in to say we have had the same problem over the two days, trying to pay on line before we arrive. The problem's not our credit card companies--we checked.

Richard, thank you so much for these detailed trip reports/research. I really appreciate them and I suspect others on the board do to.

Thank you!

Gotcha--thanks!

Just trying to understand . . . Are there new piers scheduled to be built on St. Croix or St. John? "Dredging the reefs" does not sound good from a reef health standpoint. Does anyone know more specifics?

More than I have! :wink:

Same. Sorely tempted by that idea. Edited to add: "Same" as in we really enjoyed the diving and the island, and have been fantasizing about retiring there.

Hiya! Glad to hear that you're getting back into diving. Let us know how your re-entry into the hobby goes.

"Howdy" from Texas, which is about as far away from SA as can be. I look forward to learning from your experiences.

I am incredibly envious! Welcome back to the States and best of luck getting some good advice for diving in your new environs.

Hiya! I'm a newish diver and pretty new to Scubaboard, so I don't think we've crossed paths before. In any event, welcome back and best wishes in making good progress towards your field! And I just realized that you're a fellow Texan. Where are your favorite places to dive (locally or elsewhere)?

Welcome! It's really rewarding, in my experience, to share an activity like diving with one's SO. Best wishes for many further adventures together.

Welcome back to diving! My sweetie and I are in sort of the reverse situation--she's been certified a long time, but fell out of itquickly after being OW certified for some of the typical reasons. I got certified about 3-4 years ago when she expressed an interest in becoming an active diver...

Welcome, and good for you for pursuing your interest! Keep at it and I imagine that'll you'll develop some good dive buddies. You may have to be proactive for a bit, but my fingers are crossed that you'll develop a good network before you know it.
