Today it was raining a lot, which is no fun for the captain: Mike was wet after the first dive. The dive was great: turtlesoup and eaglerays. Just a nice dive for the East Coast. The second dive was better for me, Ger, as captain. Not too much rain,...

Hello divers, Today the diving was not bad at all. I just wish that the viz will turn a bit better. When I left Europe it was because I wanted to dive in clear water. Well, warm clear water is mayby better, but the last couple of days we had...

Like normal, we had 2 beautiful dives again today! On the first dive they saw a pretty decent sized nurseshark at the bottom of the dropoff and since I drove the boat during the first dive I was a bit jealous cause it's already a little while...

Hello readers, today the diving was much the same as yesterday, but we had a boy of 11 years old on board, so we were limited on depth. We did the normal two dives but did not go deeper than 40 feet. We saw a lot of interesting stuff like tiger...

Hello boys and girls Today we had two good dives in greenish water with limited visibility. When you think about bad viz, you have a tandency to think that it means bad diving. Well, today was the exception to that rule. We both had a very good...

Today we had a request to leave the dock around 11 o'clock instead of at 8. Well, we did and we did two dives. The dives were good, but Funchi was not great. We told the girls that in the early morning this would be a much better dive, so we...

We had 2 very nice dives again. Altough the visibility could have been a little better today we still saw 5 eaglerays and some really big turtles on the first dive. It seems as if the green turtles has already started their migration because we see...
