Dive trips tailored to your needs

Finding the right info for a diving trip and certification can be a bit tricky. Which certification agencies should you go with? What do you need to get certified? Is it safe to dive? What if your family isn’t into diving—can you still plan a trip? And where are the best spots for beginners to dive?

When looking for trustworthy diving operators, make sure they stick to high safety and quality standards. Check that the instructor has plenty of experience, and don’t let anyone rush you through the course or pressure you into buying new gear. Also, steer clear of using poorly maintained equipment, as it can be a safety hazard. Keep an eye out for hidden costs, seasonal weather changes, health issues, and any language barriers that might pop up.

Whenever our friends and family would come to us, asking how to steer clear of scams when it comes to scuba diving trips, we always gave them the same advice: connect with a local buddy, someone who understands the ins and outs and can help you have an amazing experience without spending a fortune.

Why did folks reach out to us with those questions? Well, we’ve explored the globe, diving from the US to Asia, Latin America, and Europe, spending years in each spot, soaking up the language and culture, and really getting to know the local vibe.

I’ve been diving since I was just 8, and I’ve been sailing since I was a kid. With over 15 years of experience teaching scuba diving in both English and Spanish, I’ve got a lot to share.

We’re a nomadic family that really gets how crucial it is to travel safely, sustainably, and on a budget.
