How about a Whale Shark? Snorkel with these gentle giants off the coast of Mexico this summer. We’ve done it two years in a row and can’t wait to go back. We usually feel pretty lucky to come across one whale shark on a dive trip. On this trip we’ve seen dozens each day. Fun, quick (4 day/3 night) getaway. Join our group or let us schedule your own trip.

Nestle down in the sandy, warm, shallow waters of famous Stingray City in Grand Cayman and find out what it’s like to pet a stingray. And while you’re there you can explore some of the best dive sites in the world. We’ve been to the Cayman Islands so many times we’ve lost count. The islands are easy to get to with frequent flights most of the year. They offer a wide selection of accommodations for every budget (we’ll let you know our favorites), and we can set you up with top notch dive operators.

Here is Diane, camera in hand, cozying up to this amazing creature. The Komodo Islands in Indonesia are the perfect place to give that “Cuttle” as well as some spectacular diving, hiking in the National Park and a close encounter with real Komodo dragons.The beautiful all-inclusive liveaboard dive boat is pretty nice too.

What a way to end a day of diving or snorkeling. Ask anyone who has gone diving with us - we always stop to enjoy the sunsets (and we have the pictures to prove it). There are so many places to explore. Why not take someone special, enjoy some diving and sunsets, and make memories of a lifetime.

Incredible formations of stalagmites and stalactites in the clearest water ever. This is not your typical dive, but if it’s on your bucket list we can help you check it off. Combine it with some exhilarating drift diving and soar over colorful reefs. We know excellent dive operators and know an assortment of accommodations so we can get the perfect place for you. Also, you get to enjoy some pretty great Mexican food.

There are only a few places in the world where you are allowed to swim and snorkel with humpback whales. We did it this past March and let me tell you, it was amazing! We were up close to mother whales and their curious calfs. We felt the vibrations go through us as we snorkeled above a singing male. We raced along side some rowdy males as they tried to get the attention of the females. It was so exciting! This is not a scuba diving trip so you don’t have to be certified to go.

The next best thing to giving a pony?

The next best thing to giving a pony?

Did you know there are around 47 species of Seahorses and 14 of those where discovered in the last eight years? This little one was photographed on a “muck dive” during a Rec Diving trip to the Komodo Islands. And, you don’t have to travel half way around the world to find them. We know some great places in the caribbean where you can see them too. So, maybe now you can give them a horse and skip the pony?
