After a good day of diving with Sea Ventures Pro Dive Centers, we signed up for their Culebra Reefs Excursion for divers. The day includes two dives and a stop at a beach for lunch and snorkeling. It’s also an easy way to get to Culebra and see a little of the magic of this … Continue reading Diving & Snorkeling Puerto Rico: Culebra Adventure

Diving Puerto Rico: Heaven & Cayo Diablo
It’s our first time in Puerto Rico and I’ve been looking forward to diving here. However, our visit is during the week before and after Memorial Weekend and things are booked up. Add to that the high price of diving in Puerto Rico, along with a long list of Covid restrictions (proof of vaccination or … Continue reading Diving Puerto Rico: Heaven & Cayo Diablo
Snorkeling Grand Case, St. Martin
Grand Case is known for its beautiful beach and exquisite French dining, but not so much for snorkeling. Which is a shame because there are some good options. (Shortcut to my video here.) Grand Case Beach/Baie de Grand Case - if you try snorkeling here be careful of the boats and jet skis. Snorkel excursions … Continue reading Snorkeling Grand Case, St. Martin
Snorkeling and Diving Galleon Bay, Antigua
While staying near English Harbour in Antigua, I had the opportunity to snorkel and dive Galleon Bay. Granted, it isn’t a premier dive site, but it was a fun way to experience my first shore dive and my first unguided dive. The fact that I was able to snorkel the bay beforehand meant that I … Continue reading Snorkeling and Diving Galleon Bay, Antigua
Diving Sint Maarten: The Bridge
Our second dive with Dive Sint Martin was at The Bridge. This dive site was created when the Simpson Bay Bridge was replaced by a wider, higher bridge to accommodate a wider, higher mega yacht. The remains of the old bridge were dumped at this site and nature has taken over, providing a beautiful dive … Continue reading Diving Sint Maarten: The Bridge

Snorkeling in Guadeloupe
While floating along from Îles des Saintes to Deshaies, our boat captain decided it was time for some snorkeling. The fish were happy. The water was clear. And I made a video to share how lovely it was: https://youtu.be/QMsxtxPB4FE
Sharing Fridge Magnets
I’m in Les Saintes in Guadeloupe and stopped in a French deli, Robbe Steack, to get a few things. I noticed that the proprietor had refrigerator magnets on her well-traveled fridge. Kevin insisted that I give her one of my magnets for http://www.thewelltraveledfridge.com. He explained in his best French that it was for her and … Continue reading Sharing Fridge Magnets
Dominica: Indian River Cruise
The Indian River Cruise is on most tourists’ must-do list while they are in Portsmouth. Cruise ship passengers even make the trip on organized excursions. So, is it worth the time and money? While the Indian River Cruise is not high adventure, it is a relaxing and educational couple of hours. I’d recommend it for … Continue reading Dominica: Indian River Cruise
Road Trip to Calibishie
Curious about the north coast of Dominica (and hankering for some chocolate), we headed west from our accommodation towards Penville. The prior day had been overcast, rainy, and blustery, so we were looking for something to do that didn’t rely on blue skies and calm seas. From Portsmouth, if you drive north you’ll soon get … Continue reading Road Trip to Calibishie
