    Back to the Brac ... December 2011 Trip Report

    We did not get to dive Strawberry Wall. There were a couple of mornings broken and they were putting them back after we finished diving, as the sea calmed down. Maybe that was one of the broken mornings, but I am not for sure. Stingray Tower and Bus Stop were not on this list this trip, but...

    Back to the Brac ... one week to go!

    Hi SB, I am excited about a return trip to the Brac. We leave one week from tomorrow. We were there in October 2008, the week before the Hurricane Paloma damaged Brac Reef Resort. It doesn't look like much has changed after being rebuilt, but what are some tips and/or suggestions? What is...

    I Love, Love, Love Scuba Club!

    They do have big cattle boats and some smaller boats too. We were on the smaller boat for most of the week, which some might think not the better. However, our group was between 8-6 all week and the boat was slightly faster than the others. I was also told that they try to group you by...

    I Love, Love, Love Scuba Club!

    Yes ... you are so right! Punta Sur Cathedral is the correct name of the site that I really liked. See, it has been a month and how quickly I forget. Time to go back.

    Trip Report, Turneffe Island Resort

    We were just there in November 2010 and Matt and Morag were too ... I guess it as the Turneffe Managers Turn. Seems to be the norm not the exception there, but still a fabulous place. And like you said, the local staff has been there for a long time, so it was good to see some of the staff upon...

    SCC - Partial trip report

    Great photos ... thanks for sharing! You have an excellent grasp of color balance and light, in my opinion as to how they look, but I don't take photos underwater, yet. We were at SCC March 12th through the 20th, finishing out our diving on Friday and Saturday upon your arrival. Our dive...

    Dive Op from Lahaina? Ed Robinsons? Diving West vs. South Maui?

    Thanks for all the posts! We stayed just outside of Lahaina, about a 7 min ride to town. For geographical reasons, we went with Lahaina Divers and were pleased. There are more divers on the boats, but enjoyed the size of the boat for our trips to Lanai, Molokini and Molokai. The staff was...

    Thinking about Thatch

    Yes, that is what I meant. So at Thatch you would be forced to go or left behind?

    Thinking about Thatch

    I'll try to clarify. Thatch's website offers trips to Turneffe and Glovers for extra money and a minimum number of divers to go. We've been to both Turneffe and Glovers. If diving around Thatch is good, I would like to stay local. So if two divers want to stay local and six divers want to go...

    Thinking about Thatch

    Thanks ... do you have any info on the following? Do you know if Thatch Caye will do more than 2 dives/day? If it is eat, sleep, dive ... sometimes (or most) we like a 3rd and/or 4th - their website only talks about 2/day. I am also ok with relaxation now days too, but would like to know if...

    Maui vs. Caribbean ... Reef Grabbing

    What is "Reef-er madness?" All I am saying is that understand and respect the sensitivity of the reef system. If you don't know what not to touch, then don't touch it. What is the point of someone grabbing live coral to take a photo, when they have been asked not to? In my opinion it is...

    Maui vs. Caribbean ... Reef Grabbing

    We did that dive ... easy to go through with no hands. Although the coral wasn't alive and could be touched, I enjoyed trying it for practice. Our dive op somewhat mentioned no touching and buoyancy in the briefing, especially Molikini, but it didn't seem to matter for most. I know that...

    Thinking about Thatch

    Also, if you have been to Thatch ... casita or cabana? Are the casitas really better to justify the cost?
