Anyone out there feel like tagging along for a caribbean vacation. I am thinking of getting a house on the beach on a caribbean island for 6 months. Should be a spare couch to host a guests on and off. So anyone who is up for a visit hit me up.
Bonus points if your into SCUBA, I'll be doing a lot of SCUBA from the beach. At a minimum you need to love the ocean and swimming otherwise it wont be worth the plane ticket.
@thomas_oe Are you certified?
@freemo well i have the ssi openwater diver and the dpv programm thats it
@thomas_oe Thats more than enough to get into the water. You should definitely stop by (I havent set the dates yet) and do some dives with me.
@freemo Let me know the dates as soon as possible, I will be in Costa Rica for a year beginning in August, so I could stop by
@freemo How's the surf?
@AmpBenzScientist I'm not actually there yet so I dont know. Generally the waves/surf isnt particularly impressive on carribean islands. Bad for surfing, good for SCUBA.
@freemo SCUBA training was something that I considered until I was criticized for wanting free diving training instead. They kept telling me that I was going to die from a shallow water blackout even if I could hold my breath for 3 minutes. Rebreather systems are affordable now from what I've heard. I'm polarized by an experience with a shop that criticized everything but their own equipment. To be fair, they offered the special blended gas for deeper dives. They also had a 20+ft indoor pool for testing equipment.
@freemo sure scuba is awesome haha
