We LOVE going to Bonaire (which is why we do it every year). We LOVE diving at Buddy Dive Resort (which is why we stay there every time we go). The diving is very good, the conditions are very reliable, and we get taken care of very nicely. (Plus there's an amazing number of really good restaurants in Bonaire.)

This trip combines the best of boat and shore diving. We'll do nine boat dives this year which means we'll have access to such sites as all of the ones on Klein Bonaire (right across from Buddy), Rappel, Somethin' Special, Thousand Steps, and others that you'd rather not do from shore. Plus we'll have ample time too dive the Buddy House Reef (which is excellent in and of itself) and explore other shore sites Like Andrea II, Ol' Bue (a personal favorite), Alice in Wonderland, the Hilma Hooker, and more

This trip is limited to 12 divers so if Bonaire's on your list (and it should be) don't get left behind.

We love Indonesia about as much as we love Bonaire. It takes a while onger to get there, but it's absolutely worth it. (And you'rew earn the whole story behind "Opa Gila".)

One great thing about this trip is that we're able to combine the best of what the region has to offer: fabulous reefs and clear water with 100-foot visibility, along with muck diving that may have less viz, but has some of the most unusual creatures you'll ever encounter on a dive. We will definitely a a single-day excurison to the legenedary Lembeh Straits where you may be able to check off dozens of creatures that are on you're I-wanna-see list,. like Rhinopias, Blue-Ring Octopi, and Pygmy Seahorses.

The reefs of Bunaken marine park are simply spectacular with vertical walls, pristine corals, a resident HUUUGE turtle (bnamed Rambo) ast one site, and plenty of good stuff to see. And if we ever got phenomenally lucky, one of these days a Coelecanth will rise from the depths of Manado Tua.

There are eight full days of 3-tank diving plus there's still plenty of time to relax. And on the way back, we can arrange to stop over for three days in Singapore and explore that fabulous city. (Or you can head back to LA with just a single-night layover.) We generally max this trip our at 12 divers so don't get left behibnd. Give us a call to sing up or at least get on the "interested" list.

We had such a great time in 2013 that we're going to do it again in 2014!!!

Just about ever diver dreams of someday swimming with a Whale Shark. How about swimming with five or six of them at the same time. How about five or six at the same time in an area where there can be literally HUNDREDS feeding at the surface. (And we'll even thrwo in the occasional Manta Ray for good measure.)

That's what you can get during the annual congregation of Whale Sharks that occurs just off of Isla Mujeres, a small island 10 miles off of Cancun. We'll do three days of snorkeling with these gentle giants plus two scuba days and one day scuba diving the famed cenotes (caves/caverns) near Tulum.

Trip includes: 3 days of whale sharks (M/W/F - we'll have two boats), 1 day cenotes diving (Tues - includes ferry and transport), Sunday afternoon 2-tank scuba dive (Cancun Underwater Museum), Thursday 3-tank dive, hotel (2-bd condos), RT airport xfer from Cancun airport, Crew/DM/hotel tips. This can also be structured as WS-only trip, skipping the scuba days (perfect for a non-diver who snorkels). We're limited to about 12 people on this trip but if there's enough interest, I'm open to doing back-to-back trips over the course of two weeks. If you're interested, give us a call.
