Verzasca (September 15-17, 2007) Who would have thought that a landlocked, mountainous country would boast the highest concentration of divers per head of population? Or that Switzerland can lay claim to some truly unique and exquisite dive sites? From ice diving at altitude in the alps, to...

Finland (August 30, 2007) Judging by the number of dive centers you find by typing “Helsinki” “diving”, “scuba” or “PADI” into google, you would think this was a diving mecca. But trying to line up a dive here proved very difficult. Two months...

Diving in Latvia: I was beginning to despair about diving in Latvia. For three months I e-mailed all the 4 or 5 dive operators I could find on the web and let them know I wanted to dive in August. I got no reply except a polite apology from Juri at Baltic Seal Dive Club (info@diveclub.lv...

You can snorkel Silfra if you don't feel up to diving, although the dive guides are great and will tailor the diving to your level. If you are rusty with dry suit diving, they won't take you through the lovely caverns but will stick to open water. I dove it in the depth of winter in December...

I spent three weeks diving in the above countries. Here is the low down: ARUBA: Poor viz (lots of plankton), few fish and reef diving is very average. Even the DMs working there admit it is not a dive mecca. Still, the Antilla wreck (the second largest in the Caribbean after the Bianca C) is...
