Past Trip Reports
Shark Dive
April 2025
An in-depth review of a week at Beqa Lagoon Resort, Fiji...including legendary shark dives, cultural excursions, food, staff, and gear setup. I break down what to pack, how travel logistics are handled, and why this may be one of the most non-diver-friendly scuba resorts out there. Includes details on every part of the experience from arrival to departure.
Cenote + Shore Dive
December 2024
This hybrid trip combined boat and shore dives in Akumal with stunning cavern dives in Tulum's cenotes. I share candid insights on lodging hassles at Hotel Xcaret, logistical tips for offsite diving, and personal stories from two very different dive environments including a drysuit mishap and a close look at cave diving etiquette.
Aquarium Dive
October 2024
A behind-the-scenes look at diving with whale sharks and manta rays inside the Georgia Aquarium's “Journey with Gentle Giants” experience. This detailed walkthrough covers everything from check-in to gear fit, underwater choreography, and post-dive perks. VIP dive or controlled conga line? You decide.
Drift Diving
April 2024
An all-inclusive dive week at Iberostar Cozumel with Dressel Divers. I share tips on rooms, resort layout, group diving logistics, and the benefits of staying close to the dive sites. Includes gear notes, travel advice, and reflections on celebrating a 50th dive milestone.
Florida Keys
January 2023
A relaxed diving getaway to the Florida Keys, centered around Sea Dwellers in Key Largo. I share tips on lodging, boat conditions, diver mix, and how to balance dive mornings with non-diver travel companions. Plus a scenic wrap-up in Key West.
