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 had read online some (interesting) reviews saying that the resort was no more than a... 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 →
