Oldfashioned rayday!!!
Today we had a Dutch couple joining us. After some brainstorming we decided to do the divesites Funchi and the White hole. That turned out to be a very good choice because on the first dive they saw some southern stingrays and a lot of eaglerays....

Good... turtles everywhere
Today was a good day. There were only 4 divers today. and only one had a camara, and he was an excellent diver with a very good buoyancy control. We have seen lesser photographers, so it is very pleasing to see these divers still do their dives and...

Raoul's last day... A good one
Today we had a great diving day again. There were 2 Dutch girls and Raoul who has joined us 5 times in the last 3 weeks. It was as if all the fish came to say goodbye to him. The first dive we saw the usual stuff. Some eagle rays, stingrays,...

Diving is fun
Hello divers & divettes,
Yesterday we could not post a blog due to island problems - there was no electricity. Well, we noticed that without electrical power the computer is just a pile of plastic. Today the diving was good again. Just not...

Rayday!!
Another calm, beautiful divingday on the East Coast. It just can't get any better. On the first dive we went down and right underneath us there were 2 huge southern stingrays lying on the reef. At that moment the dive was already made but it...

East Coast diving very easy due to no waves...
Well boys and girls,
Today anybody and everybody could have done the East Coast dives. The sea was extreemly calm but we did experience some current and thermoclines. Current is not a problem - we just go drift diving! Until about 70 feet the...

Cold water diving, it's raining again...

Just a nice dive
