I will be going to Fiji on my trip around the world in March of 2019 and I was wondering if you had specific information on how to find John’s dive shop there? I am looking forward to getting my certification and just want to make sure I can get it while in Fiji!

I am BIG BIG fan of yours. You are being in inspiration to my travel. I am planning to visit Mexico next month. Should I experience scuba dive over there or just snorkeling ? As suggested by you that Scuba diving in Fiji is the best option,so I was just wondering about this.

It was surprisingly cheap for a 30 minute dive + 30 minute instruction, and they threw in photos and a DVD for the price. You can see an old film prop of a moai, turtles, even a fish they nicknamed a rainbow fish because of its multiple colours if you’re lucky!

I just quit my job with an NGO in El Salvador. I have three weeks free until my flight at the end of the month back to the United States. I’m interested in getting certified in Diving. Any recommendations for Honduras? I don’t want to go to Mexico since my house and friends are all in San Salvador. I would like to take advantage of my time and diving sounds amazing.

Any tips for good companies to take a course with that is safe and would allowe me to dive internationally in the future?

Amazing what you see down there. We spotted eagle rays, sea turtles, parrot fish etc. I am sure my boys are hooked!

I recently conquered my fear of being underwater by diving in Great Guana Key, Bahamas. (short ferry ride from Marsh Harbour and one of the best reefs in the world) My three oldest boys, Max, Sam, and Tom also got certified, which gave me the courage to do it as well. So proud of my boys. If you have never been to Great Guana Key-check it out. A small beautiful, tropical island- true paradise. Troy at Dive Guana- awesome! Accommodations at Beach Dream was a fabulous home away from home. Great beach, beautiful waters, and amazing sunsets.

I want to dive more exotic places and this sounds like an inroad to my idea of pleasure. I’m a retired Aferican American Male that love to blow bubbles. Be in touch.
