| B Belize: Belize offer divers access to the worlds 2nd largest barrier reef and some of the worlds most premier dive sites. The world famous "Blue Hole" is a one-of-a-kind dive experience. This underwater sink hole features stalactites, sharks and exciting adventure. On past visits our group stayed at Lighthouse Reef Resort and Blackbird Caye Resort. Lighthouse Reef Resort is located at the northern end of the reef on a private island with its own airstrip. Blackbird Caye Resort is located near the Blue Hole and Half-moon Caye, with access provide by their own fast boat launch. Bonaire: Bonaire is part of the three islands that make up the Dutch Caribbean. The other two are Curacao and Aruba. Diving in Bonaire is by far the worlds easiest, with shallow moorings. Bonaire boosts that they have sunny days 366 days a year, no current and fantastic shore dive sites. In fact, some of their most speculator site are within 50 ft of the shore. Past visits have included Captain Don's Habitat and Sand Dollar. Other recommendations include Harbor Village Resort. Best air from Kansas City is Delta to Atlanta, them ALM to Bonaire. BVI:
BVI (British Virgin Islands) is close to the US Virgin Islands and a great
Dive Destination. I recommend
Sail Caribbean
for the ultimate in professional dive services. Ask for Mike Rowe and
mention you dive with SJ Scuba. Excellent diving with short boat rides along
with the wreck of the RMS Rhone, a British mail ship, make BVI an
outstanding choice. C Cozumel Mexico: On past visits to the Isle of Cozumel, our group has stayed Hotel Casas del Mar. Hotel Casa del Mar Cozumel is a charming Mexican Hideaway facing the magnificent Caribbean Sea. Situated across the main boulevard with 98 comfortable rooms and eight recently restored Deluxe Cabaņas, the property is surrounded by beautiful and exotic garden area with a Mexican town feeling. Casa del Mar Cozumel is located two and a half miles south of downtown, less than five minutes away from the famous “Paraiso” reef. Our hotel is ideal for vacation and divers. Best air connections from Kansas City are KCI-Houston-Cozumel via Continental or TWA KCI-St. Louis-Cozumel. D F G When it comes to fantastic Caribbean Diving, Grenada has it all. Be it shallow or deep, over wrecks, walls or spectacular reefs, in the calm Caribbean Sea, or drifting in swift Atlantic currents surrounding by sharks, Grenada is the place to be. Grenada's extensive, pristine reefs create a dazzling tropical aquarium. Truly an underwater photographer's dream! Abundant pelagic life includes eagle rays, bull sharks, reef sharks, white-tips and nurse sharks. Manta rays migrate threw the area and sea turtles are very common, as Grenada is a major nesting area. The "Spice Island" also offers a fascinating variety of deep and shallow wrecks, including the awe-inspiring 600 foot cruise ship, Bianca C, nicknamed the "Titanic of the Caribbean". Optional day/afternoon trips on Grenada will be provided by EcoTrek, as the island is equally beautiful above sea level. Jutting Volcanic mountains offer breathtaking views of Grenada. Lush rainforests, fertile valleys, palm-fringed beaches. Spectacular water features include tidal-fed salt ponds, volcanic crater lakes, mineral hot springs, limpid streams and dramatic water falls, which cascade into crystal-clear pools. S T
