Virginia Scuba

Just a recap of an incredible week aboard the Allstar All Star Cat Ppalu. Some drift diving, healthy reefs, fun land excursions and sailing the Exumas makes for good times and great memories. Thank you to all who joined us and made it a fun week, especially our new friends who survived a week with our crew! Lastly, please thank Monica, Sandy and Ty who provided the awesome pictures we were able to share here. Until next time!!!

Four more dives in the logbooks today. Lots of healthy reef, sharks, rays and all the normal Bahamas critters. Even got out on the east side of the islands to get some depth for Katie to complete her Deep Diver certification, so let's all congratulate her for "working" on her vacation! Then we got to enjoy a nice drift dive for the night to finish it all up.

Today started with a drift dive at Wax Cut. Then we did some mangrove snorkeling before lunch. Of course, we finished the day with more diving. Living on a boat is fun!

Great first day of diving in the Bahamas. We started with a nice wreck off Paradise Island and then moved over to the Exumas for afternoon and night dives. Did we mention the incredible food being served on the All Star Cat Ppalu? It has been an incredible start to the week!

Busy, busy! Please welcome Nick to the Virginia Scuba dive family after completing his Open Water course. Also, congrats to Thomas and Grayson after doing their What's Next?! program all weekend. Alas, Rick used discretion in postponing his Dry Suit course, but we'll get it done soon! Doug is a little closer to becoming our latest dive professional as we finished up the classroom portion of his Divemaster course.
Lastly, we want to thank all our divers that showed up at the lake just to enjoy some underwater time on a nice weekend. Diving with friends (old and new) is what this is about. Thank you all for letting us show you how to Live the Dive Life!!!!!

Today was unfortunately our last day of diving. We dove The Lake and Knife. On the way to the lake we saw a pod of dolphins! We also saw a turtle on the dive!

In the afternoon a few of us went to the distillery, and the rest relaxed at the resort. We finished the night off with a delicious dinner at Joes!

More fun in Bonaire!!!!!

This morning we dove Bon Bini Na Kas, and Andrea1, both were beautiful, and we saw some reef sharks and a turtle!

We had a great lunch and then did some exploring on the north end of the island where we saw Indian inscriptions, flamingos and beautiful views. We finished off the night with a variety of different dinners!

Wednesday in Bonaire did not disappoint! The morning boat dives were at Thousand Steps and Kahli's Reef. Janet completed her navigation specialty! Congrats Janet!! Both sites were beautiful and Christine was lucky enough to find us an Octopus!

In the afternoon some went exploring on the south side of the island while some hung out at the resort pool and watched the world cup game. We finished the day with a dinner together at Rum Runners!

More fun to come tomorrow!!!

Tuesday's dives saw the ladies heading out to the Hilma Ho**er wreck site and 18 Palms for the morning boat dives. The afternoon was spent relaxing around town for a little shopping and lunch before the night dive. Of course, some Gio's was enjoyed on the excursion.
We also want to congratulate Janet on finishing her Deep and Night certifications!
