TOP 5 TIPS for Scuba Diving Vacations

Exploring our blue planet is one of the best things about being a scuba diver. You’ll go places people have never heard of and see things others can only imagine.
But before you can giant stride into a magical underwater wonderland, you have to pack…and sometimes pay an airline to take your gear. The solution: wear your scuba gear on the plane!
All kidding aside, here are some quick tips to make your next dive trip a little easier.


  1. Download the  Scuba Diving Vacation Checklist PDF to ensure you don’t forget something important.
  2. Visit iflybags.com to view baggage restrictions and fees for most of the major air carriers.
  3. Contact a PADI Dive Shop in the area where you’re traveling to find out about special permits and/or prohibited items. Some diving destinations do not allow spearfishing equipment. Others prohibit dive gloves.
  4. If you’re traveling out of the country, contact your bank and credit card company to alert them where you’re going. Your charges from another country may be flagged as fraudulent and declined.
  5. Don’t forget your PADI C-Card! For convenience, or as a backup, order a PADI eCard for your smartphone. eCards are available from any PADI Dive Shop or via padi.com.  Posted by Megan - PADI.com/Blog/2013/02/10

We are boarding the Aqua Cat out of Bahamas for a live-aboard trip in March of 2014 - this luxury vessel has everything for divers and non-divers.  Aqua Cat has a 30 foot jet drive boat that is dedicated to eco adventures or taking any non-diving passengers to the beach or fishing. Kayaks are on board for exploring some of the uninhabited islands of the Exuma Cays. Aqua Cat will be like our own private yacht that offers up to 5 dives per day as well as non diving  activities in a beautiful island chain of the Bahamas and it's all inclusive - can't beat that!  Over Half Sold - so don't wait!

Just in case you didn't think about it - travel is a great opportunity to enhance your dive skills - I can provide you with the courses you'd like to take in a relaxing no-pressure environment - your vacation.  Don't hesitate to ask when you sign on for your trip.
