| Let's start packing! Dive travel is a natural
extension of learning to dive. Many people begin diving to
experience the beauty they have seen on television, online or in books.
Dive travel includes more than underwater exploration; it’s also about
delving into the sights, sounds, tastes, and even shopping of different
cultures. In fact, many active divers begin as active travelers |

Palau: Mar 1-13, 2012
This trip
is full. Please contact us if you have questions (or
to be put on a wait list). |
 |
Palau is the
western-most cluster of six major island groups
which make up the Caroline Islands, 600 miles east
of the Philippines. Home to many world class dive
sites, Palau has recently made history by
establishing the first shark preserve in the world.
Palau is known for incredibly clear water to explore
the 1300-1500 hundred species of reef fish
inhabiting the surrounding coral lagoon and adjacent
islands. |

Little Cayman:
Mar 24-31, 2012
This trip
is full. Please contact us if you have questions (or
to be put on a wait list). |
 |
Simply put, Little
Cayman has some of the best diving the Caribbean has
to offer. Cousteau had said the Bloody Bay wall is
among the ten best dives in the world. In places
the wall starts in only 15ft of water and plunges to
the Cayman trench of about 6000 ft. It is like
swimming along the wall of the Grand Canyon. Little
Cayman is not only wall diving, there are great
shallower reefs that support a very healthy and
diverse marine environment. |

Isla Holbox:
July 14-21, 2012 |
 |
Join Scuba Center on a
dive trip to the Yucatan to participate in one of
the most exhilarating encounters you will ever
experience. Swim with the largest fish in the sea –
up to 45 feet long! While some may be intimidated by
their size, the whale shark is actually a gentle
giant. We will combine our whale shark encounter
with stays at two beautiful resorts and an
opportunity to dive the reefs and cenotes of the
Yucatan Peninsula. Non-divers and children are
welcome to enjoy this trip too as the whale shark
experience is not done on scuba and there is plenty
of non-diving activities to enjoy. |

The Solmar V is a 112’
luxury live-aboard dive vessel based in Cabo San
Lucas, Mexico since 1992. They journey 250 miles
south of Los Cabos into the eastern Pacific Ocean to
the Revillagigedos Islands—more commonly known as
the Socorro Islands—to dance with the Giant Pacific
manta ray, cavort with dolphins, dodge seven
different species of sharks and thrill to an
occasional lucky interaction with the migrating
humpback whale population. This is remote, adventure
diving at its finest. |
