I can't believe this is FEBRUARY!

We are having a ridiculously lovely winter this year. Flat, calm waters, warm sunshine, light southerly breezes . . . I love my job!

Diving with sharks, on Andros, Bahamas

One of our favorite and most popular divers here at Small Hope is our shark dive. At a depth of 50 feet divers can watch Caribbean reef sharks swimming around, feeding on a slow-release "chumsicle". It is a great way for new and experienced divers to overcome any irrational fears they may have about these beautiful and graceful animals.

Check out this video of one of our shark dives!

Plane, trains and . . . Yachts?

I recently got to head over to Paris and Dusseldorf for a couple dive shows. It's a tough life, you know, but someone's got to do it. I got to represent Small Hope Bay Lodge at the Salon de la Plongee in Paris and the BOOT show in Dusseldorf (the largest boat show in the world, with one out of 17! halls designated to diving).

During the day it was work, work, work (keep in mind the Paris dive show is the only dive show I have been to that has a Champagne tasting booth) but by night I got to check out two of the coolest cities in Europe. Oh, and I had great food. And wine. And beer!

Check out some of the photos!
