Antigua

Norman Reeder
Maureen had a Princess snorkel trip here which she liked very much. I had originally booked a dive through Princess for here as I couldn’t find out much info on diving operator here. However, when we boarded in San Juan, there was a note in our mailbox that indicated that the dive for Antigua was cancelled. The tour staff wasn't too helpful on recommending other dive ships (or even which one they had used that had cancelled), so I went up to the Internet cafe and used Google to find "Antigua and SCUBA". Found a few listings and made a reservation with Deep Bay Divers. The dive master picked me up at the dock. Turns out that this is a one man operation. He has his boat docked at the Rex Halcyon resort where there is also another dive operation (Dive Antigua). Both boats wound up going to the same dive spots. Mine stopped at another resort to pick up a large family who went diving with me. We had a good time on the reefs there. Came back in the late afternoon (to a rainstorm) and did a little shopping. My dive watch had leaked in Barbados, so I bought a new one at Columbian Emeralds which I like very much. It's a Citizen dive watch that records your dive, and then allows you to transfer the information into your computer to keep a record and a graphic representation of the dive. (BOYS TOYS!).
