Have you selected a dive operation? Self-guiding isn't a great idea for a new diver. Even if you feel comfortable without a dive master, you're likely to miss lots of the best stuff. Some of the sites are a little hard to find if you don't know where you're going. We used the Dive Bus last time, and will be doing the same this week. Mark and Suzi are great. I can recommend them without hesitation.
Check this thread in a day or two for a link to my Flickr page. I'll be posting pictures. (Hopefully really good ones ... I just got a new camera  ) |
We will be at the older Marriott, not the new one in town. We booked this so long ago that it was the only one there at the time (we are using points, so we book as far ahead as possible). I emailed the dive shop at the Marriot, Caribbean Sea Sports to see if they have schedule of dives but haven't heard back yet, but I'm open to other places as well. I'll keep contact info with me for the Dive Bus, that may work as well. And I'll definitely be doing guided dives, I need much more experience before venturing out on my own. And I'm the only diver in my family, so I'll need to find a guide or buddy anyway.
Nice photos too, what type of camera are you using? I bought a WP-DC23 case for my Canon SD770 and and took it snorkeling in Hawaii and it did alright, though conditions were really terrible. I really need to buy a strobe setup, but I'm not sure if I can swing the cost right now. My wife is watching the spend as I just bought a new fins and mask this week along with a few other goodies. And we are going on vacation in a few weeks, which always have a way of adding up. But then what's a few hundred more...
