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.

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 →
Well, it was a long journey home. Thankfully it was filled with laughs which made everyone less grumpy. I'm going to miss being in paradise and spending time with like minded people. As I sit here recovering from jet lag, I'm compiling pictures and footage to share my journey. I've sorted most of my way... Continue Reading →
As I sit here on my birthday, reflecting on the great times I’ve had this trip and the life long memories I’ve created with people, I’m slowly feeling ready to come back home. Part of me wants to stay in Chuuk, the other wants to be home. The morning started early – just like every... Continue Reading →
Today was our last day on the SS Thorfinn. It’s been our home for a week and it’s exceeded all expectations. The people on the trip have become family. I was already family with a few of them, but the new people I met on this trip have created a long lasting relationship. We started... Continue Reading →
