pooley 26 Posted October 17, 2021 When are you looking at going? Just asking because I'll be in Cancun with a few days in Cozumel, arriving 24th November for 2 weeks. I normally go for private guiding but the costs there are silly, even if the actual dive prices are reasonable Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sinetwo 17 Posted October 17, 2021 Hey @pooley I'm likely to go to Kenya or Cozumel the 12-28th, so if I'm there lets go for a few dives? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bvanant 189 Posted October 18, 2021 Are you guys sure Bali is open to visitors from the US? We have been following the Bali story quite closely but keep seeing it is still a mandatory 5-day quarantine in Jakarta and not open to US but only to the 19 countries (China etc.) Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sinetwo 17 Posted October 24, 2021 Total u-turn, given the travel restrictions, I'm headed to Cozumel in November Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alto072 0 Posted November 29, 2021 Someone earlier posted about Roatan. From experience, the south side of the island has better macro than the more visited West side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phxazcraig 102 Posted February 21, 2022 I vote Roatan, south side. I've been there nine time now, partly because it is fairly easy to get to, partly for the great diving. I stay at the Reef House Resort in Oak Ridge, which is about as far away from the crowded diving areas as you can get. The diving is simply excellent. Micky Chateris shoots down there one dive resort over, I think. Lots of macro opportunities, so you need to be able to find stuff. I go to the Reef House because the divemaster (David) is incredible at finding things. I go in September because nobody else does and I end up with the dive boat to myself. Lots of macro pics from there at my website (www.cjcphoto.net), all in chronological order. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark Don 1 Posted February 21, 2022 Some macro opportunities in Barbados particularly at maycocks, lots of shrimps, flamingo tongues and see horses at most other sites Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SwiftFF5 134 Posted February 28, 2022 I am with @Phxazcraig in voting for Roatan. I just returned from there and had a great time shooting macro mostly. I was at CoCo View Resort, which is where Mickey Charteris, who wrote the book "Caribbean Reef Life", has set up shop. He is a great resource, as is Stacy Lewis, who manages CoCo View. We found frogfish, blennies of various kinds, various tiny shrimp, crabs, etc etc, as well as quite a few seahorses and pipefish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
