[TAHOE CRUISER]

I am on the Coral Princess, Nov. 12th for a 10 day FLL to Panama and back. I'm an advanced diver and would like some reccomendations on the best Ports of call to dive and suggested dive shops to use. Our Ports of call are:

Ocho Rios, Panama, Limon, Grand Cayman, Cozumel.

 

Thx in advance

Do "The Wall" at Grand Cayman....drops off to a zillion feet. (you can take a research submersible down a long way, as an excursion)

 

 

also, suggest you check out this thread.....

Try the Cruise Critic Scuba and Snorkeling board. You'll get good responses:

A side note: Coz is world class. Both Palancar (@20 feet) and Columbia (@ 40 feet) are excellent adjacent reefs with abundant sea life. Hurricane Wilma destroyed the near shore reefs, but the deeper off shore reefs survived with minimal damage.

 

There are a number of good operators there, both Eagle Ray and Manta Ray come highly recommended.

More good advise and links on this site :

Hello TAHOE CRUISER,

I would definately recommend Grand Cayman or Cozumel. We don't dive,

but have snorkled there and it was awesome ! I understand there are some

fantastic sea walls just off the coast in Grand Cayman.

 

Eagle Ray Divers in Cozumel has had some excellent CC

recommendations, you might want to check them out !

 

FYI - I have a sister and brother-in-law living in No. Lake Tahoe

going on your CP cruise Nov 12th. Do you know them ? :rolleyes:

 

Take care and enjoy your cruise ! :D
