Scuba Diving & Travel Blog
I recently watched a motivational speech with Will Smith regarding skydiving. During his speech, Will Smith said "You realize that at the point of maximum danger, is the point of minimum fear. It's bliss!" It's a hard emotional experience to convey to someone who has never taken a leap out of a perfectly workable airplane.... Continue Reading →
Well, its been a crazy good year thus far I know It has been a while since I posted. After returning from Cuba, I headed to Flordia for my NAUI Cave 1 training. I spent the week learning how to dive caves and seeing some of the most beautiful underground formations. Unfortunately, because it was a... 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.

Every trip I take, I always seem to come back with a story that keeps me laughing. After arriving at the resort I started to see a few patterns among some of the other guests staying at the resort. I had read online some (interesting) reviews saying that the resort was no more than a... 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 →
