Looking for a female dive buddy March 10-17 (give or take a day or two). Ideally would like to go to Utila but would consider other areas in the carribean . If you have the time lets go!

I am an experienced recreational diver who is having difficulty finding folks to go. I have travelled alone before but it is much more enjoyable with someone else.

March is a good time to go, when I was there they were seeing whale sharks everyday. BTW, at dusk walk out Utila Lodges dock, the light on the end draws rays in to feed on the surface.

hello Joyful !

I am a female buddy in search of a partner in the caribbean ... I did meet up with Dive buddy people for one week last year in Bonaire and it was a great experience.

Quickly about me : I’m 30 y-o, French, PADI AOW, 60 dives or so, novice underwater photographer. I dived in South East Asia mostly (Timor, Indonesia, Malaysia) and a bit in the Carribean (Cuba, Bonaire, Guadeloupe)

I have never been to Utila and would love to check it out. But I live in Port-au-Prince and the connections are not always easy. Let me quickly check what I can find (in terms of prices and availability) and get back to you.

if you’re not stuck on the destination, we might find a common ground. I know there are direct flight from Port-au-prince to Panama, Cuba, Dom. Rep., Guadeloupe and Turks & Caicos . All offer very nice diving spots - although Cuba may be problematic if you’re American and Turks and Caicos can be quite expensive...

Where do you live and where have you already dived ? What are you looking for in diving (wrecks, big fish, protected areas, all of the above ?). I recently bought a "best dives of the carribean" so I’m sure we can find something ...

For me, the question of how long I can take could also be an issue : I would need to request vacation days but I may be renewing my contract at the time... it’s always a bit tricky.

So logsitically speaking, when would you need a definitive answer ?

in any case, let’s keep in touch,

Antine.
