Scuba Diving & Travel Blog
Have I ever mentioned how beautiful Tobermory is? Through the country roads, fields of colour and cattle, eventually you will arrive in Tobermory. On the way up, I picked up Champburger (Thanks for the advice Mark!) and met up with Grace so we took our time on the way up. Shore diving was scheduled around 1pm but... Continue Reading →
Today I took a break from diving to go for a half-day city tour. Four of us signed up and had a great driver named Fernando. Fernando served in the Military for 4 years. He was a transportation and intelligence specialist. He, unfortunately, damaged his back during a parachute accident so he has been doing... Continue Reading →
Today was another great day in paradise. We started the day off with a 9am dive to the best site Santiago De Cuba has to offer, the Maze. It was a 25minute boat ride out. I passed the time chatting with the dive guide where he gave me a lesson in natural navigation, explaining to... Continue Reading →
Today marked a very monumental day. Sadly the leader of Cuba, Fidel Castro passed away overnight. The people of Cuba loved Castro so the country has a respectable 9 days of mourning. There will be no music, parties or festivals until after the 9 days including at the resort. The TV’s have been broadcasting about... Continue Reading →
Day 3 of an already memorable trip. In some ways… worse than others. I woke drenched in sweat from the lack of the comfort of air conditioning. I’m having issues with getting the hotel to fix the problem. I’ve reported it 6 times and even asked for a new room. I’m not getting much luck... Continue Reading →
I bet the title of this blog post got your attention. On November 23rd, 2016 I had the pleasure(?) of heading to Santiago De Cuba for a week of scuba diving. Many people say that Santiago De Cuba has the best diving Cuba has to offer. I couldn’t wait to check it out for myself.... Continue Reading →
The more I visit Tobermory, the more I find things to fall in love with. With living in a populated city, driving 3.5hrs up north to Tobermory is a refreshing change. The air seems so clean, there are vast fields where cattle graze and a slower paced lifestyle. It's almost like a mini vacation. Tobermory... Continue Reading →
Sometimes the best experiences are unplanned. The Greig's Caves were no exception. On Wednesday I had sprained my lower back and I was supposed to be doing some shore dives in Tobermory Friday afternoon. It was a tough call but I knew I was going to be diving shipwrecks on Saturday and Sunday so I made... Continue Reading →
This summer has been a lot more uneventful than what I had hoped. I had high hopes for the blog but lost sight of my goal and have been lacking motivation. My diving hasn't been as eventful as I had hoped for this summer. Chuuk Lagoon was a big expensive trip so I have been... Continue Reading →
It has been far too long since my last blog post as not much has happened for me in the diving world. Maybe it's because I'm still stuck reliving Chuuk everyday. I will be honest, its been hard to motivate myself to go diving after such a great trip. I know that nothing local (for... Continue Reading →
